What may happen to their Slots?

Media Boy UK HQ feel one of Narrative broadcasting deals on Freeview is set to end soon on;

  1. Local Mux
  2. ITV's COM4
  3. Arqiva's COM6

So Media Boy UK HQ thinks Local Mux or COM6 is coming to end.

Where is Narrative Channels broadcasting from on Freeview (As of December 4th).

Local Mux:
  • Pop
  • Pop Max
  • Tiny Pop

COM4:
  • GREAT! action
  • Pop Player

COM6:
  • GREAT! movies
  • GREAT! tv/GREAT! tv +1
  • GREAT! romance/GREAT! romance mix
  • Pop Up

We feel Narrative deal with Arqiva is ending. With the following changes:

 Local Mux:
  • Pop > GREAT movies
  • Pop Max > GREAT action
  • Tiny Pop > GREAT romance

COM4:
  • GREAT action > GREAT tv
Added to COM4:
  • GREAT tv +1
  • GREAT romance mix
  • Pop Up
