The snooker on BBC2 cut off just before 3pm. Random channels are off and the website's being upgraded so unable to get any details. Not bad, it's the first time it's ever gone down in 26 years.

It might not be that random, each multiplex tends to be made up of a real mixture of channels from all sorts of broadcasters, genres, popularity and package levels.
