The statement has clearly been taken from the ShoppingTelly site, as the "final line" in the memo is actually ShoppingTelly's comment.

That sounds exactly what they've done here. 

If the opening paragraph of that article is correct, it's a done deal so curious why the statement mentions other interested parties

Time to bring back Quizmania, The Hitmen and I, and Jackpot247 on a rotation then.

Suspect they're allowed to continue broadcasting dead air on Freeview for longer given other channels are blank 23 hours a day as long as they're paying the bill. Struggle to see how it survives now though - feels like it's gone past the point of no return.

Shame we don't have an annoying music loop like when Bid TV closed down

"Now I've got to show you this again before it disappears altogether..."

Admittedly it's quite eerie hearing this, considering what was about to happen.

There's a 12-hour rewind available.

Looks like the feed cut from the slide to to colour bars and tone around 14:45.

The YouTube stream is still running, and a test card and tone is now being shown:



EDIT: This started at 13:47 (14:47 BST), if the time on the test card is to be believed.
