We also see that the Freeview Channel 90 is still free...

A few channels are still rumoured to be joining Freeview, including Rishtey Cineplex. One of those may have reserved LCN 90 with Digital UK before Information TV added their Frontrunner channel. No doubt the Manchester Entertainment Network will shortly be adding something to replace True Movies/Christmas now that the channel has migrated to the Comux local multilplex.

It wasn't very well defined as channel, sharing content with True Entertainment / True Movies. Sony has always spread the same content thinly across multiple channel brands. There will be a cost saving from doing this with timeshifts, avoiding the additional production/continuity required for the extra brands.
Sony and the legacy companies it acquired have previously killed off brands, only to bring them back at a later date, so True Drama could possibly return someday.
