Does anyone know what happened to the Doco Channel? Has it gone somewhere else?

Looks like Look hasn't been doing much looking over the past two moths considering it has been in the media and I think discussed in GZ..

Perhaps rather than being a sarcastic contributor who can't spell, Old3Eyes could point to where there has been Media or GZ interest in the vanishing Doco Channel.

They've been pushing it heavily in advertising on Sky channels for a while too.

We watch a lot of docos and did not notice advertising of the change. Then again we channel surf while there are adverts. Don't buy newspapers, and the radio station we listen to don't advertise Sky. I think we got a flyer with our account. Can understand how some (or many) did not know.

It's pretty much still there, re-branded as BBC Knowledge.

Same format, same programme line up, same irritatingly high level of ad-breaks.

Only changes are a new name and a larger & more irritating logo smeared across the screen (not even tucked away in the corner, more towards the centre)
