Q: Any chance of the channels making a comeback?
A: Although companies can rise from the ashes after being placed into administration, the events leading up to the closure of bid and price drop mean that it's very unlikely that the channels will return.
Q: What happens with the Freeview slots?
A: Both slots are held on Arqiva-owned multiplexes. The bandwidth used to broadcast bid and price drop will be made available to other commercial channels. It's too early to say what will happen. As Freeview has much limited capacity compared to other digital TV platforms, the vacated bandwidth will be quite valuable.
As it's Easter no changes are expected for the next few days.
Q: What happens with their Sky channel numbers?
A: On Sky, broadcasters can trade channel numbers on Sky's Electronic Programme Guide. KPMG may try and sell the channel numbers to another channel in the shopping genre as it seeks to recover what it can from the business.
