RE: Elite TV/Studio 66 - General Chat & Discussion
I can't work out was going on with Sky Ch 940 "Play TV 2", it was only granted a licence in January according to Ofcom, so can't see the licence being handed back that quick . http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/tv-broadca...tes/012014
Digital Dave pointed out previously that the channel and licence was not owned by Prime Time TV the licence holder/ultimate parent company of the other 24 hour STD 66 channels.
Play TV 2 was owned and licensed by a new company called "Play TV Broadcasting Limited" shown in the Ofcom link i provided .
I don't think they broadcast the channel over recent weeks to see how much money they could make from it as Rammy gives as a possible reason because it never to my knowledge broadcast a separate show of is own. it was just a copy of 912, so they wouldn't know how much a independent broadcast on 940 would make .
I can't think of a explanation why it's gone to be honest . Maybe it's just temporary thing ? ,

I think it probably is temporary as the channel is actually still broadcasting, although it's just colour bars at the moment. I can view it as I have a generic satellite receiver, but it will also be available in 'other channels' on a Sky box. I'll update you if it changes.
Play TV broadcasting Ltd is 100% owned by Eli Thomas Nathenson, who is also the main founder and shareholder behind all the other S66 channels, so Play TV is certainly part of the family.
I agree that Play TV 2 was never a standalone channel up to now. Coming off the epg might be due to a delay in starting up the new channel and a need to save money.
I think it's confusing to have introduced Play TV as a name, yet also introduced Golden Girls TV which goes out on the Play TV channel. I wonder if S66 is planning on branding Play TV 2 as Golden Girls 2, and if so, are there enough MILFs to cover it?
Edit: Re. Darren's post above, perhaps the LA show will be on Play TV 2.

Also the option of sunny outdoor backdrops instead of the usual indoor studio-sets thanks to the time difference because 11pm-1am over here is 3pm-5pm in California
