Aha! so the delay is because the "just in time" planning policy failed.

Doing that would have delayed launch by weeks.
Not at all, it wouldn't have made any difference. Test first and release the details to the listings magazines when you have confirmed that everything is working. The only additional delay would be in the listings magazines printing details of the new channels, hardly the first time that has happened. It's probably no worse to delay the release of channel information to listings mags than to release it prematurely.

Not really. Every channel has its own broadcast equipment, that can be faulty or not.
Indeed but shouldn't there be some redundancy built into the system to prevent such faults from being fatal?

Nevertheless, it is still the wrong format. Don't you even speak to your content providers when there is a known issue?
