What's happened to abc1 on Freeview?

"Channel has ceased broadcasting"?

Where am i going to get my fix of 8 Simple rules and Hope & Faith?

Yep it has ceased broadcasting so no more, ever.

My Dd1 was very unimpressed, she loved 8 simple rules and Hope and Faith, oh and Home Improvement.

You won't be able to watch any of the programmes anywhere else by the way, as non of them are filmed anymore.

DH and I loved to watch ancient episodes of Home Improvement late at night, relaxing once DD is asleep in her cot - can't believe there was no warning of the channel stopping broadcasting
Anyway, it's not as if the programmes were recent ones, they were all repeats of programmes made years ago, weren't they, not recent productions they'd have to spend money to make...
