Given the happenings at IW recently I wouldn't even be surprised if it doesn't come back, the new owners cutting costs.

I thought you meant it was a matter of hours. I just saw gianni on Digital Spy's post from this morning that says "the past 24 hours at least".

The cutting costs idea is looking more plausible now. The other channels on the local multiplex are working fine.

If IW Extra does disappear will the local mux reconfigure back to one less channel? Or find a replacement? I can't see the former happen.

I wouldn't even be surprised if this was further fallout from the sale of Create & Craft, maybe the old IW owners sold the local mux transmission space too before the new IW owners took over, maybe Craft Extra will resurface on a different multiplex? It would explain why Craft Extra is still on the EPG, and the Back Soon EPG info on it (though I was expecting it to reappear on one of those midnight slots).
I just saw it at 1.30am last night.

All other channels on local Mux is working.
