Technically, London TV were actually launched on 19th January last year on the evening London Live being closedown at the same time.

 

However, London TV will come to an end this Tuesday evening (2nd June) at 12am during its late hours.

Re: Changes to the TV Guide - June 2026

London TV not showing much but currently True TV was just seems to cover EPG are reached or it’s been back through last year. It’s fairly clear BBC Scotland/Rewind TV didn't intend to move the 117 if Sky should create a new channel and close gap between 173-179= retains 174/177.

 

Option:

 

Move Channel 180 to 117: BBCScotlandHD (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)

 

Move Channel 182 to 179: Rewind TV (UK)

 

171: That's TV (UK)

172: Disc.History (NI, Ire)

173: PBS America

174:

175: Animal Planet (NI, Ire)

176: Court TV

177:

178: Travelxp

179: Rewind TV (UK)

It's just easier for BBC Scotland taking a proportion of below Sky 180 demand. If anything that should be moved or evaluate current 117 to fill EPG Blank on BBC region.

Actually, it launched at 00:01 on 20 January 2025. The programme that was on London Live was cut short as the feed changed to True Crime (London TV simulcasts this). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SWDzFVJbeE at roughly 5:50.

@Marlu-NyuBut, to me in my view and to be quite honest with you, London TV was actually launched (as I said before) in the late hours of Sunday evening, 19th January 2025, at 12:01am while it was not even Monday yet in my opinion. This actually happened on the night that London Live got closed down because it was the evening that London TV's launch did happened very much to me. The Wikipedia article reads: London Live closed at 23:59 on 19 January and was replaced with London TV i...

We're talking about real days (00:01-23:59) not TV days (06:00-29:59 (which is 06:00-05:59)), 
London Live closes at 23:59 on 19 January 2025
London TV launched at 00:01 on 20 January 2025. 

It specifically says 00:01 to avoid the issue of midnight, where it might be different for different people.
