Yes, it appears to have disappeared altogether - it was cut back to Sundays only but that appears to have gone now. Usually carried an English-only playlist at the end.
One schedule oddity remains - instead of Debbie Mac's non-regional afternoon show from Manchester, they carry Tony Wright's show for the South West stations from Bristol (presume he occasionally does the odd split link for South Wales?)
Wright also does Saturday breakfast on Pirate - wouldn't be surprised if Pirate's FM frequencies end up carrying his weekday GHR show (Sunday mornings on Pirate have also been produced from outside the TSA, so to speak)
