I don't believe the DS poster is correct though about his idea that it may just be a change of genre, as this would not free up a SD EPG slot.

I guess it is coming off VM as there wouldn't be enough viewers without the satellite viewers.

Is it FTA on Sky? If so, is it on Freesat?

If it is a pay channel, I suppose they won't stay on VM for similar reasons to Current TV.

Just an idea as Canis are saying:

I think you could well be right. To answer my own question, i've since been told that PSB is pay on Sky and, therefore, not on Freesat.

I do doubt it's long term future though, it's ratings are low and, so soon after launch, they are willing to move further down the EPG in return for money.
