    Yes, it's Chart Show TV. It's currently testing with music videos. As the name suggests, it will air chart shows! It will be the first with the official UK charts. Until now, it was always first on BBC Radio 1. From what I see, there will be a fair share of teleshopping too.

    It is supposed to broadcast Free-to-Air though I'll have to see it to believe it.

    Their website is bit plain but shows that shopping is going to be a big feature with this channel, i think... :(

    It's testing at

    Frequency: 11.585
    Polarisation: H
    Symbol rate: 27.5
    FEC: 2/3

    Though the 'blockyness' on the picture is awful at times, the picture seems to be fairly low resolution (similar to the MTV bouquet of channels), and they have an annoying habit of blending the ending of videos and start of the next video together.

    what music channel is closing?
    'Premier League' and 'Nationwide League' channels (English subscribers only)

    are these the club radio stations or is it something different

    you couldn't really call it a music channel though. i always forget about it anyway. it was in a much better position when it was in the 400's
