In the UK, yes. Just the reality stuff will remain.

Many won't be able to view the channel due to the change in the HDR settings in a recent update on the 360.

Pop are closing everywhere but switching to a FAST channel on freeview https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/pop-ki...eeview-sky-vm/

The Pop family of children’s channels is closing down on traditional TV platforms this December, marking the end of over two decades of broadcasting – and leaving the BBC as the sole provider of free-to-air linear children’s television in the UK.

Pop, Tiny Pop and their associated services will cease broadcasting on Sky and Virgin Media, while the last remaining over-the-air channel on Freeview – Pop on Channel 205 – will switch to become a streaming-only FAST channel.

The Pop Player app and website will also shut down completely across all platforms.

Just noticed that Pluto is no longer available on V6, with a message to contact VM for an upgrade - presumably to 360.

Pluto is free on most smart TV's, on Roku and Firestick devices and as a free app on Android/Apple devices so no big loss.

Annoying, though.

It is, especially now that the linear MTV music channels are closing soon, as Virgin customers won't be able to access the MTV FAST channels

The MTV Fast channels are available to VM customers - except those who choose to stay on the old V6 software.

I don't want the dreadful TV 360 so, even if it is more inconvenient, I shall stay on the V6 and come out of the Virgin ecosystem to access Pluto.

I suspect that they are doing things like this as a stick approach to get people to use the new software as Pluto was only added last year!

360 is a big change and i understand people can be scared of big changes but it really is an impressive box with lots of advantages once you get used to it
