Great Movies Classic became temporarily Great Movies Christmas 2 days ago. This is a continuity with the ads being cut out.

Ridiculous, if you ask me.

Next time, they'll get that running all year long..

They kept the Sony tradition of launching the Christmas channel in the middle of September. Next year will be in early September, I bet.

Many other channels went off air too, including BT Sport.

Since the Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo are over, the online channels of M4 are currently broadcasting testcards, similar to the ones seen in the pre-launch stage of M4 and M5 (in 2015 and 2016 respectively).

Animax Hungary technical glitch from 2008. The image was frozen at the ident, but the sound went on.

5 Days left for the cessation of both Channel V & Nat Geo People Asia in the MENA Region (also both to be ceased in Southeast Asia), where it'll also be ceased on same day with the other FOX/Disney Southeast Asian Channels.

Unlike FOX/Disney-branded channels in Southeast Asia, still neither any ticker, nor farewell promos for their cessation from both channels, and especially both Star Movies China (Hotels and Residents only), and Star Sports China/South Korea. Not to forget FOX Sports Asia has nothing to promote their farewell messages, unlike FOX Sports Taiwan.

4 DAYS LEFT!!

One of the customers said that OSN Customer Service told him lately, and they didn't know before about Disney's closure before in the news websites. OSN Customer Service thought it's false and rumors until it's being confirmed.

I was talking about the Middle East, OSN don’t know about the closure of Nat Geo People, nor FOX Arabia’s Accounts.

Also, I was mentioning Channel V and Nat Geo People, Star Movies China (Hotels only), and Star Sports China/South Korea. No farewell promos!!

Yes, and even the BBC announcements went pre-recorded and generic

Minimax/Animax Hungary handover from 2011. The Minimax logo was still on when the startup bumper of Animax was played, then froze.

Despite its VOD, but they considered it as channels in the ad.

TVP1 instead of showing the clock is now airing the loop before and after the testcard. If you look carefully, you can see that the loop for some reason has the old logo in the background:

From what I read, TVP2 also phased out the clock but in this case after the last programme (or ad block) for the day it cuts straight to the testcard.
