UPDATE

From today if you call 0330 123 1876 you get an automated message where you can leave a message and someone will call you back within 5 working days.

The phone number no longer appears on screen at all, not even the Sky numbers. The AD message has also changed omitting the phone numbers.

This is the 9th different version if the closure slate. I do not see how they can keep this running for a further 6 or 7 weeks

I suspect this is the final version of the slate.

My prediction is this will continue to be up until March, when the original closure date was going to be before it was brought forward. I imagine the BBC has rented the transponder until the end of March, so no point really in not leaving it up until then. They’ve only had to update the slate because the telephone line is closing. The rest of it can stay up as long as possible.

I expect the BBC to then hand back the transponder and the whole process will have been completed, finally.
