It looks like the channel closed on 1st May due to poor viewing figures.

Unfortunately, one of the most interesting stations Vice in the Uk has closed

Vice programmes are available on All 4 and it may be good to follow them on social media for any changes to this

The decision, which Vice said had been made mutually with Sky, comes a year since the the company launched a distribution arm , led by former ITV Studios (ITVS) exec Bea Hegedus.

Vice Studios president Kate Ward, to whom Hegedus reports, told TBI that the decision to close the UK linear channel was “an evolution” in the way it was working with the pay TV operator, and with other operators more widely.

“We are having a multitude of discussions with Sky about acquisitions and commissions, and obviously Vice Media Group as a whole has a great relationships with them through Gangs Of London [produced by VMG’s Pulse Films]. It’s not a step away or a leap out of that critical relationship, it is an evolution of it.”
