Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite
Horse & Country are broadcasting announcements that they are closing on Sky from 31 January 2020.
Their free channel will be transferring to the H&C app, with a £5.99 subscription for additional “channels” & VOD content.
There is no mention of the service on Virgin Media, which will hopefully continue. H&C also broadcasts on several of LGs European cable networks.

Re: Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite
Horse & Country will remain on Virgin Media.
https://www.rxtvlog.com/2019/12/conn...d-country.html
Viewers will be able to choose from a free version of the service, or access a premium "Plus" version of the service for £5.99 a month, which will contain more live sport. The premium service is also available via Amazon Prime Video and via cable on Virgin TV.

Re: Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite
Is it still on Virgin (don't care) however if it is what's the concern ?

Re: Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite
The OP's concern was that H&C might disappear from Virgin Media. It isn't, so 'nuff said, surely.

Quite. There are currently 2 million people that either ride or own horses in the UK & the sector economy is worth around £4.8 billion a year, so its not a lack of interest that is causing the changes

Maybe the Channel is not financially stable or it could have been a spur of the moment decision ?
