Channel M
Jul 17^th, 2010 at 3:31pm

This was off-air for part of last week and is off-air again today (Saturday).

Anyone know what's going on? Ch57(the local mux for Manchester) is showing 'No Signal'. It only had two stations on it, Channel M and the JML Direct shopping channel, but I'm missing EuroNews.

I hope it hasn't gone under. Guardian Media Group (which owns Channel M) ran an ad for a Controller last month with rumours of an autumn re-launch using more bought-in content:

If a local channel with a potential audience of 2.1m homes doesn't make commercial sense then the future of non-national TV doesn't look at all bright.

Edit - 2.1m homes not 2.1m viewers as originally written

It's still dead with nothing on it. Surely even a technical fault wouldn't take this long to put right. EDIT: Back on air (July 20). Half the signal strength I was getting before. Picture stutters or freezes. What a joke.
