I think the one thing that "killed" The Box Network was the removal of requests and competitions. Remember when you couldn't escape a competition on The Hits to win tickets to watch Busted or select the latest Nelly video?

It's a sad time when 5 music channels can't survive yet on the likes of Freevee there's "XITE" and also Vevo have launched their own FAST channels, then there's Paramount who have FAST Music channels on Pluto TV and Now Music who have their channels on the likes of Rakuten TV. Perhaps Channel 4 just didn't want the headache anymore? Everytime I've tuned in to The Box Network, their channels have always been showing ads, sometimes all 5 channels at the same time.

I think it's simply because ratings are much less relevant to the Smart TV Channel type, at least for now
