Thanks.

That's a lot of, obviously niche, content in need of a new home if that happens. Some of it appears on Channel 5 and Sony Movies during daytime hours, but that's a small proportion. Maybe it'll end up on a UK streaming service? True Movies broadcast that sort of thing until Sony rebranded it as their Classic movies channel, though that's currently in Christmas guise and actually closer to its old output as a result.
