The original ITV3 thread on the blue place had some interesting articles about the closure, one did reveal that employees were told that Plus was going to be switched off 10 minutes before it was closed. It wasn't a total surprise that ITV were looking to restructure their multichannel offerings, but the speed at which they acquired a channel and closed it is unprecedented

Figures it had to be short notice like that. Had they known when they were going off air they'd have surely changed the schedule so as not to disappear mid-programme.
