Channel closure expected.
Rumours are rife that Motors TV is due to close.
It recently left it's linear Freeview slot and today it was unexpectedly removed from the Sky EPG. It's still broadcasting on satellite off the EPG (which is where I assume that VM take their feed).
Sky have stated that it's because Motors TV "don't want to be on their platform anymore".
I can't see a non subscription satellite channel surviving on only VM and online, but you never know!!!

Re: Channel closure expected.
They probably cannot afford the Fee anymore.
I believe that all these channels have to pay a substantial fee to be on the air.
I believe that Premier Sports, had the same problem a couple of years ago, that's why they wanted to be part of a system, where they got a cut of a Pay per view fee
Are they still going ?
