Very much doubt anyone would notice

Don't Sky have strict rules about requiring channels to show non repeated programming during peak times?

VM tend to put up a "ooops we can't bring you this channel right now" slate when a channel temporarily goes off air.

As for Freeview, IIRC they were gifted the EPG slot so I guess they'll be ok to show whatever they like (although they may fall foul of Ofcom programming requirements eg a minimum amount of new material, news etc).

Interesting that the blurb states that they have an affluent viewership, never knew that cycling was the preserve of the middle/upper classes!!
