Having said that, I don't see any obvious candidates among the Bauer lineup presently on VM.

Absolute 80s is maybe the one they'd swap it for, now I've had a longer think.

I wouldn't put it past VM if they've put a block on new radio streams launching and will only maintain the existing ones since Radioline is available on V6 and TV360, and Original VM Tivo, which needs these streams, will be becoming an increasingly smaller part of their TV offering.

I wonder what proportion that old box is of those boxes out there? We'll likely never know. The old box's only advantages now are (to my recollection) its dedicated internet connection, for those that don't take VM broadband, and the SCART output for those with older TVs.
We may get the following radio channels as well.

=== Own by Bauer Radio Ltd ====
Absolute 90s
Greatest Hits Radio
Hits Radio
Scala Radio
Jazz FM

TiVo still have listings for Sky Replay on September 1st.

Sky One (Sky Showcase) will broadcast A League of Their Own at 9am, 10am and 5pm on September 1st.
