MY OWN VIEWS - Nothing you are about to read has NOT been confirmed yet.
I feel it down to the following:
A) Children watch more things via streaming.
B) One deal that Narrative has is up at midnight on December 31st. (I would think with Arqiva's COM6)
Where is Narrative Channels broadcasting on Freeview right now.
Local Mux:
*Pop - now streaming
*Pop Max - close
*Tiny Pop - now streaming
COM4:
*GREAT! action
*Pop Player
COM6:
*GREAT! movies
*GREAT! tv/GREAT! tv +1
*GREAT! romance/GREAT! romance mix
*Pop Up
I feel the following may happen to the Narrative Channels soon on Freeview.
Local Mux:
LINEAR Channels;
*GREAT Movies
*GREAT Action
*GREAT Romance/GREAT romance mix
*Pop Up (Streaming Channel)
Streaming^
*Pop
*Tiny Pop
COM4:
*GREAT! action > GREAT tv/GREAT tv +1
*Pop Player
COM6:
*GREAT! movies - moves to Local Mux
*GREAT! tv/GREAT! tv +1 - moves to COM4
*GREAT! romance/GREAT! romance mix - Moves to Local Mux
*Pop Up - Moves to Local Mux.
^Local Mux DID broadcast streaming channels before December 1st.

But that just my own views - so it may not happen.
