      BFBS - remember it well. I also remember Forces Favourites!

       

      Forces TV removed from Freeview as of tomorrow.

      Yes. I've just checked and it's going from Sky and Virgin also. Apparently, Offcom flogged the frequencies its multiplex uses to EE who wanted more of them for 5G. BFBS decided that that without being of Freeview it wasn't financially viable to run the channel just on the paid for networks.

      As always, a public service (in this case run by a charity mainly for our servicemen and women and their families but appreciated by many other viewers) loses out to commercial interests.

      I knew one their senior engineers who I'd worked with on the Microlive programme in the 1980s who went to BFBS after leaving the beeb. He showed me round their HQ near Missenden once.
