Whilst on the Companies House website I had a quick look at Vintage TV. Their accounts have been overdue since 10 March, which is never a good sign:

Apparently, their net worth is -£695,858.00 and they only have £38 in cash.
I can't help but wonder if their name was a mistake. It makes it sound that their material is much older than it actually is ie 'vintage' conjures up images of the sort of thing that Talking Pictures would show. Those actually looking for such programming would find the content too recent. Also, the branding doesn't suggest that it is primarily a music station. |
When it launched Vintage TV used to show more music from 1920s/30s/40s/50s than they have done recently. They seem reluctant in recent years to go earlier than 60s. Which made the channel much more like other music channels. So many niche services (I'm including radio, magazines and websites in this too) get successful and then move away from what they were well regarded for in first place.
