Good Food closure confirmed.
Discovery has confirmed closure of Good Food and the transfer of shows to Food Network UK. https://www.rxtvlog.com/2019/09/good...e-content.html
Roll on the speculation about the space use, assuming it's not abandoned to make cost savings. |

Re: Good Food closure confirmed.
I wonder whether Discovery will have a mini rejig of their channels and reuse the former Good Food capacity and EPG slots.
Something like: 278 Good Food > Food Network 279 Good Food HD > Food Network HD (new) 280 Good Food +1 > Food Network +1 (new) 291 Food Network > Travel Channel 292 Travel Channel > Travel Channel +1 (new) That way Virgin Media would lose 3 channels but gain 3 others. |

Shame, Good Food tended to have more UK food repeats than all the US stuff where they don't know what ingredients should be called, don't know about gas mark and think that half a cow is the right portion size for one person.

I doubt it's worth the effort for 3 places up. I'd be tempted if I was them to demote all their +1s further down the Factual category and move all the main versions up within the category. i.e. 252, 258, 260, 263 would all be freed up and moved down the EPG and 4 out of 5 out of Home, Food Network, Home&Health, Travel Channel and Discovery Shed would take their positions. I suspect given Shed's position in Sky EPG and that it wasn't moved in latest Discovery number shuffle that the other 4 would be given priority. With this suggested rearrangement Discovery would make 4 channels more prominent. +1s are useful but get much lower ratings than their main equivalents, better to benefit their wider portfolio than shore up a select few, especially as catch-up on-demand is taking some of the viewers away from the +1s |

We think Channels 278 to 282 are own by UKTV as part of the 2018 deal. We think Discovery Shed, Quest Red and Travel Channel will all be axe soon by Discovery in the UK and Ireland. |

HD and +1 are versions of the same channel, I'm not counting them as separate when I say one less. Though obviously more money will saved by closing versions of the same channel too. Quote:
Travel Channel moved up though, so I suspect they will keep it, possibly give it a revamp...though hopefully not the same one the US version got, it's called TRVL now I believe. |
