The link is just the Companies House webpage. All I did was check the registered address and directors for companies linked to the That's TV group and with G-Man / Canis Television & Media. The registered address is the same but not conclusive as companies often use an accountancy company for the registered address. Having directors in common is more of a clue. I gave up on trying to find a corporate structure linking the companies.

Also Comux (the company running the local TV multiplexes) used to show That's TV and Made TV as having significant control of the company, now it only lists That's TV.

No direct links between That's TV & Made TV were obvious.

One suspects there might well be more channel closures.

According to a poster on Digital Spy, Sky have possibly bought Baby TV slot from Disney for Sky Kids with Baby TV going to end of Kids section on EPG.

National Geographic upcoming drama 'A Small Light' is airing exclusively on Disney+ UK in the Spring while in the US it's airing on both National Geographic and Disney+

Seen your info about Sky Kids on December 24th.

National Geographic will not close in 2023 unless Disney deal with Virgin is up as Sky Media has offered "National Geographic & National Geographic Wild Sponsorship Opportunity" for 2023

According to RXTV, the new sustaining service is to be a simulcast of Talk TV. Replacing Judge Judy with Jeremy Kyle. So, yeah.. I still won't be watching.

Viewers in Liverpool will not be happy with this deal signed by Local TV Limited with News UK (Owners of The Sun newspaper).

The sponsorship opportunity doesn't actually say for 12 months though.

I’m shocked Ch. 609 is being sold. I thought Sky Kids would launch at 601 and all other channels moving down one.

601 on Sky is owned by Warner Bros Discovery and is used for Cartoon Network, so Sky can't just take it for themselves. They need to follow their own EPG policy, just like everyone else.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

609 was probably the easiest one to buy, Sky bought the Fox slot from Disney previously aswell.
