Audience levels for UKTV losses range from 20% to 35%
Sky have not seen any significant rise in subscriptions since the channels were pulled
(Replacement channels on VM aren't being charged any carriage fees)
Pretty interesting read but not convinced. No source given for the facts and figures plus this time of year is notorious for a drop in viewing figures as the school holidays start and millions of Brits go abroad on holiday. Would be fascinated to know Dave and Gold's viewing figures for the same 2 week period in 2017. That would be the most accurate barometer.
