Does anyone with satellite/Sky have the loss of local radio? Can't remeber if these were on Sky when I had it years ago?
here in Liverpool we have lost CityFM & RockFM with the same on screen message.

There are also very few regional TV channels on Digital TV as well and they are as follows:
Channel 7: Available on Virgin TV Analogue and now Digital in a small part of the North East.
Channel M: Available on Virgin TV on Manchester's ex Nynex/NTL/Cable and Wireless franchise, Freeview in the North West region and nationally on Sky Digital.
With regards to Radio stations on Virgin TV, i'm on the Cable London franchise which is an ex-Telewest area covering Camden,Islington,Hackney,Harringey and Enfield and all of the above London stations are still there.
