I’m inclined to accept a BLAZE channel 156, What would be funny is if 139 get those instead of Crime+Investigation. Sky may make partial sense to ditch A&E Networks UK on the 239 does not contain and its balance up fill in the blanks.

Why has Wion gone permanently?

It was a good source of international news from an independent perspective.

@Aceofworld

That's something to ask the channel owners Essel Group.

One possibility is that their 'independent perspective' means they no longer seek to comply with UK broadcasting standards for a News channel: moving to online-only means that's not a requirement.

That could be a 'possibility'.

Thanks for your prompt response and opinion.

It is a loss for viewers
