Nuts TV is no longer going to be available in Freeview, but in its place CNN International is going to be broadcast.

The spin-off of the IPC Media men's weekly magazine is still going to run online, but has now been axed from both Freeview and Sky.

Dee Forbes, TBS senior vice-president and general manager, told Media Week: "In an increasingly crowded TV market for this demographic, it's vital that TBS and IPC play to our respective strengths".

"And for Nuts TV the future is in the fast-growing world of online. Having already attracted large communities within its social networking sites, it makes sense for Nuts TV to continue in this vein."

  • I would like to be able to watch CNN, but if they are only going to transmit on freeview between 9PM and 1AM then it won't be viewed here. I guess there isn't enough bandwidth for useful channels like that during the day. It is much more important to the freeview people to screen several selling channels pushing out cheap rubbish at high prices. Posted by Allan Weaver, England
  • Why can't the bandwidth be increased to allow channels like CNN or Virgin 1 to broadcast all day. Maybe they could removed the other channels that are only on between simular times and which get fewer viewers and then these good channels could get their time slots.
