@DespH08 Virgin1 on freeview closes late night and returns at 9am.

Freeview is limited to a small amount of broadcasting channels due to laws on over-the-air data transmittion. Because of this, ABC1 could only acquire 12 hours a day of broadcasting on freeview.
ABC1's long-term plan were to become a 24-hour channel on all platforms. And as they couldn't expand beyond 12 hours a day on one of the biggest broadcasting platforms, they decided just to close.

I'm not really sure how it all works so sorry if i am totally wrong here, but firstly why did they have to close just because they were not 24hours on freeview? They still had Sky. And secondly, there are loads of what seem to be free slots on freeview, such as between 46 and 70. Couldn't a new channel have been created somewhere there for them? Surely this was not the only reason for the channel closure. Virgin 1 is not 24 hours on freeview is it?

Anyone know what production company made the music? I know SOP made the 2006 ident, not sure about this though.

They closed because they couldnt get fulltime hours on Freeview;the space was taken up by topuptv after 6pm to provide TCM.
