Can't remember seeing a notice on here.

Not heard anything about it, but it would be unsurprising. It's not on Freesat, it's only on the Manchester multiplex on Freeview and they can just move the programming to Sony Crime Channel.
Question is,
if it is closing, will Sony use the space for another channel on Virgin Media? There are a few +1s of theirs they could use the stream for on VM.

I had a quick look through the ratings for last month to guess what Sony would do if True Crime is closing. It could be it's just closing on VM but I doubt it.
True Crime had a 0.03 rating last month.
Of their channels VM doesn't have, the ratings are as follows.
Movies4Men+1 0.07
Pop+1 0.02
Pop Max 0.05
Pop Max+1 0.01
Sony Movie Channel+1 0.04
Sony Crime Channel+1 0.02
Tiny Pop+1 0.02
True Movies+1 0.02
From that Movies4Men+1 or Pop Max are the obvious candidates. Both are on Freeview, but with limited coverage, both being on the Local multiplex.
