LCN308 TOPUP Anytime2 has closed and is now reduced to being a placeholder only. This is the usual step before it is completely removed from the NIT.

Full changes this evening in London:-

Mux A
Smash Hits LCN removed; channel remains on mux for time being at 128kbps joint stereo with caption.
ADULT PARTY LCN removed; channel remains on mux for time being with just caption.

Mux C LCN97 ADULT PARTY added; times assumed to be 0300-0700 using Dave downtime.

Mux D LCN712 Smash Hits! added at 80kbps mono.
LCN722 Kerrang! has reduced from 128kbps joint stereo to 80kbps mono.
LCN714 heat has reduced from 128kbps joint stereo to 80kbps mono.

This arrangement allows those not retuning to continue receiving Smash Hits from Mux A until they do. Welsh viewers get Smash Hits! once again.

3 streams at 80kbps == 2 streams at 128kbps, so no extra cost for Bauer.

In the Mux 1 NIT the following message has appeared:-

Will we see further changes? We have only seen channels changing Mux so far. There must be others leaving Mux A and being added.

I missed one.

Mux A LCN308 removed from NIT & SDT so completely removed from the platform.

Also the former Mux A streams for Smash Hits! & ADULT PARTY without LCNs can get placed in the 800s after a retune. They will likely be removed on Monday.

So does this mean all Freeview boxes have to be retuned like the retune at the end of September last year?

Not seen any messages pop up on my box from Crystal Palace...

CNN off air, makes 7pm - 6am blank (assuming TUTV 2 stays off air), times shares with CITV in England (and Challange in Wales) could work as a primetime +1 for ITV.

Shame about the loss of a news channel

Greedy ITV.

I thought we seen the end of C4/ITV gobbing up Freeview space.

there has been any space worth getting recently, however it seems odd that ITV suddenly want more Freeview space, as they have said they are not looking to expand the free part of there business, and focus more on Pay TV.

LCN84 CNN has definitely closed. The off air caption was replaced with a black screen at 7pm today. The SI should be removed tomorrow.

The original smash hits radio also appears to be done. The Mux A version is no lounger working.

I am receiving full epg data for all topuptv anytime streams after a rescan
Topup 2 is blank and also lost its off air graphic its status is a placeholder. All I can think is that top up tv have moved the remaining downloads off the anytime 2 stream to the other streams.

I believe is was only warner tv left anyway on anytime 2 after the most recent round of closures.

My bet warner tv downloads is moved to another stream or even split between both the remaining streams.
