I am gutted. I have just found out (a little late I know) that Channel One is leaving us. How bad is that? Pretty much half the shows I record are from Channel One. Sad

How am I going to get my fix of Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer, Medium and Trauma now?? Crying or Very sad

Why couldn't they wait till Spring, at least...as I should have a bike on the road, and won't care about whats on the little box in the corner of the room. But it's still Winter, I'm still in hibernation. The cruelty of it all. Thumbs Down

Channel One to close, Challenge to come to Freeview
Changes to Freeview after Sky buys Virgin TV channels

Sky is closing one pay and one free channel from the portfolio it bought from Virgin TV, because they match channels already provided by Sky.

Bravo and Channel One (which was Virgin 1 and before that FTN) will close.

This means that the Channel One slot on Freeview will be replaced with the quiz show channel Challenge.


Now what am i gonna watch between 1pm an 6pm during the week Sad

Find a torrent or other site with caps of the shows and download them.

Got nothing to watch while your old shows are missing? Read a book...

or post more on BCF Mr. Green

Don't think I've ever watched it, just checked what is on today and I'm pretty sure I won't miss it.
Why do sky put sky3 on freeview? its hardly a great advert for them! as if somebody is going to watch it and think wow I must get sky now so I can watch more constant repeats of police camera action and bondi vet Confused

It's not the same...I will end up watching the same thing on and on and on until it finishes, not weekly as I do at the moment. I like the variety. Too much of the same thing is dull.

Sod reading my book, that's for just before bedtime. I think I post enough on BCF...peeps have probably got bored of reading my drivel over the years.... Wink

Medium is one of the worst most dire programs on TV. How can you watch such utter shite.

I know it is matter of opinion but come on.

At least I don't watch things like Eastenders, Coronation Street, Big Brother, The Jungle celebrity thing, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Neighbours, Star Trek and other tosh that is aired... that's got to count for something?? Laughing

Those plus your list above are all awful. Apart from star trek which isn't awful, I just don't like.

Channel One? Isn't that BBC One? Wink

Up North, we still have black and white TVs and only three channels.
