Are some used for what is effectively a private circuit eg the Asian food channels to Asian Restaurants?

Are they used in the same way that Post Office lines were used to switch ITV around the country in the days of the ITA/IBA?

I'm intrigued as to the reasons channels are kept off the EPG.

I guess it's no different to satellite services used merely for distribution not being on the Sky/Freesat EPG's eg Instore radio, news feeds etc.
