Channel One to close, Challenge to come to Freeview
Sky is closing one pay and one free channel from the portfolio it bought from Virgin TV, because they match channels already provided by Sky.
Bravo and Channel One (which was Virgin 1 and before that FTN) will close.
This means that the Channel One slot on Freeview will be replaced with the quiz show channel Challenge.
Challenge is now in the Freeview guide on 46. If you can't see it yet, please follow these instructions on your set-top box or Freeview TV: My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong - ukfree.tv.

"3 hours agoAndy: It's not a reduction as Channel One has been replaced with Challenge."
Briantist - yes it IS a reduction: the Challenge channel already exists, Channel One has been closed and Challenge is taking its position - therefore there is one channel less which is obviously a reduction.

Razzi: Challenge was not on Freeview until today, it is a replacement for Channel One. Therefore it isn't a reduction in the number of channels provided.

Bally python: Actually, I would have thought that BSkyB is more Ferengi than Borg.

Andy: This is an independent site, I am trying to explain the situation. I'm sorry if it displeases you, but there is no need to besmirch my reputation.
It would be very easy just to simply agree with you, but that would be dishonest.
