According to forum member 'speculator' on Digital Spy at Digital Spy Forums - View Single Post - Movies4Men all versions licensed for Freeview Sony Pictures have bought Dolphin TV who operate these channels. See Sony Pictures Television buys Dolphin Broadcasting to boost UK presence | Media | guardian.co.uk for more. The channels are still running on Sky. We can only speculate why they are off air on Manchester freeview- renegotiating carriage arrangements maybe?

No I can't see why either, though there is always the chance that there is someone sat at a desk in London/NY/Tokyo who doesn't like the idea of paying money to broadcast programming only towards Greater Manchester, I suspect Hanlon's razor probably applies. (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity).

John, the Digital UK postcode checker shows this: Postcode Checker - Trade View

Angus looks like your best bet, with a little improvement due from March 6th on the commercial muxes.

@Josh (April 18th) and @Briantist - yes Josh is correct to say that the "Channel M" channel is no longer being broadcast, however the local mux is still there on C57 albeit full of null packets. So the mux is being broadcast, but receivers see no channels. Maybe something will one day reappear, only time will tell.
