Looks like VM have reached an agreement with these types of channels to make them feasible on cable.

Has anyone heard anything about Euronews coming off cable?

No news about Euronews at all.

I heard Euronews was pulled from Freesat earlier in the week. Apart from that, no news relating to VM as yet.

Anything to do with Brexit, do you think?

reviewing channels is hard work and puts a strain on all my equipment so possibly the box may break again

But yes is vm going down the sky path of filling up their EPG with mostly filler and p0rn...

Well, questions have been asked and eyebrows have been raised about the amount of money that this channel receives in grants, particularly as it has a major private shareholder and fairly low viewing figures.

I'm not sure if they are cutting back in general or just in the UK- it may be felt that the referendum result signals to them that we aren't interested in European news.

If this is the case, it's a short sighted move if they are hoping to persuade us to stay in some form or another

In theory, the new controlling shareholder is meant to be expanding the business so it seems a strange decision to withdraw from Freesat which can't cost very much. Never mind - it's still on VM!

You may joke but about 500 channels that broadcast to EU countries from the UK may have to relocate when Britain leaves the EU.

more scaremonging, many channels broadcast across the EU that aren't in the EU African channels mostly.

They won't have to move. But if it costs more to remain based in the UK, why would they not move?

Do you remember VM's partial relocation to Luxembourg a few years ago, to take advantage of the low VAT rate there?

Not really scaremongering, just a report from an industry conference.
