It was removed from Sky yesterday afternoon, but the recorded content is still playing out on Virgin & Freesat. I assume it's the same on Freeview??

Re: Freeview changes

Virgin & Freeview have now stopped showing the pre recorded material and are now showing a static slate that says 'Create & Craft- THE HOME OF Jewellery'.

Full technical details of these changes to services on the local mux are now available at:
Freeview: https://ukterrestrialtvchanges.blogspot.com/
Freely: https://ukfreelytvchanges.blogspot.com/
Not that it makes it any easier to follow the diverse ways different devices seem to have of displaying the current AIT versions of these channels.

I'm surprised that Pop has closed their local linear services. I always assumed that this was done as a workaround to keep their EPG number to use to broadcast to the whole of the UK when suitable capacity became available, rather than any local viewers that they might get.

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.

-New Media TV
-Global Arabic +

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

They are only kids genre EPG numbers, with that genre, the number range is shared with streamed channels. They get to keep the slot whether it is a traditional or a streamed channel.

You probably aren't in the right age range for the POP kids channels.
