Bravo was part of the suite of channels Sky purchased from Virgin Media, in the reshuffle it was decided to move best bits to channel one and scrap bravo

Virgin Media sold the channels to sky which is why virgin one was rebranded to channel one as sky didn't have the rights to use the virgin brand.
They decided the content was too similar to sky 2 and 3 so removed them

All we need to do now is get rid of all the rest of the channels and the world will be a nicer place to live.
Sky TV What a rip off and a legalsied one at that.

Chuffed to hear that.  Missus was only saying to me yesterday that World's Strongest Man should be on about now.  Looked into it and saw it was only on Bravo and Freeview don't cover that.

So we missed it by a country mile, not just the country hundred yards. >:( >:(

Take away a channel and people will find a way to get the programmes.

Ranging from downloading to waiting for DVDs

TBH most good series are on FTA with the BBC

Depends on your tastes. Saturday, early evening kids programmes, the BBC has it covered (though ITV try to compete with their version of a Saturday early evening kids programme - Primeval)

BBC just seems full of repeats. I find myself recording much more ITV/CH4/Five now (also full of repeats). Pity I can't find a decent automatic ad stripper for up-to-date versions of media center - I have to F-FWD the ads myself :(

The beeb still wins on nature progs though :y

Hmmm, so they are replacing that and Channel One with Challenge TV. Great. A gameshow channel. Hopefully they will allow access to Sons of Anarchy as that is a brilliant series.

ive had sky then ntl which turned into virgin and tbh theyre all crap if you didnt watch it on c4 or then on c4+1 then your obviously not bothered about it so why have more channel 4 +e+47,imho there might be 5,000,000 channels but theyre all showing the same crap day in day out >:( ive scrapped mine and now use the freeview tuner in my telly and there is more than enough channels on it plus a slight saving on money :y

I'm sure that there are sound business / contractural reasons behind this, but I always thought that Bravo was quite a popular channel?

personally speaking, we must have several hundred channels, but I mainly seems to watch Bravo, Dave, G.O.L.D, D-max, Quest, Motors TV & Discovery Turbo.

As far as Ad revenue stream goes, I'd have thought that Bravo did alright?
