This isn't connected to the "technical problem" that is alleged to be the cause of the channels removal from Youtube.

More than one contact in London has said that Russia Today has been removed from Freeview.

It does seem odd that it's not on VM, but as you say, barring us getting into a war with Russia, I agree that it looks likely that it will arrive on VM.

**Update** False alarm. Viewers in London have lost RT and Al Jazeera. They must do a retune to get these channels back and to start to get BBC London radio and the London Live barker channel.

Thanks.

Just been told that The Community Channel HD looks set to join VM if talks prove satisfactory for both parties.
