Cool down with the screenshots, especially if there's nothing to say. (Or at least, put them into a spoiler?)
Or share some thoughts?

I can't check what happened in Hungary, since after 3 seconds, the player just stops.

I checked not so long ago with a catchup, Hungary had ESF-C (without UHD).

...This is all so bleak. It hurts when some of those channels that went down had a staff behind them and were machines that worked fine.
(This also reminds me that the closure videos of CBS Justice South Africa and CBS Reality South Africa still aren't found, no one ever bothered to record those two???)

yeah sucks that they slowly killed Paramount Africa over time but that's Paramount for you I have a feeling that most of the staff for MTV base went to that new base puse channel

as for CBS justice south africa and CBS reality south africa thing is they they weren't nearly as popular as MTV base and BET that's probably why no one bother the record the shutdowns, and actually there is one video of the CBS justice shutdown

Looks like somewhere in late 2001, we got a local feed of Hallmark that was shared with Bulgaria, at the same time, but the text on the promos and bumpers were in Romanian and English.

Unceremonious.

Unlike what happened to, IDK, the Polish feed.

What's worse is that they cut the feed mid-program.

Better than nothing! I guess this can work (considering that for CBS Reality there also was the Polish one and that one got a clearer video of its closure).
(And, remember, CBS Justice walked so that True Crime could run. It worked!)

I think one of your predictions may become true...

Just read this and...oh boy.
This is going to be a long road.

Yeah, yeah, I said to cool down with the screenshots, but I want to talk of something.
Well, of one channel.
Veo7, or like I can call it "Look where Urbano Cairo (perhaps?) threw money instead of giving a new pres to La7 (or it was La7 Cinema, or it was Veo7 (as RCS has to do with that, and RCS is owned by Cairo), probably (And maybe it's just me, but I see similitaries in the looks of the two channels...?).)"

Spoiler: It's some screenshots...

Yeah, I think they're not celebrating the 25th anniversary of the channel with a new presentation. But I wouldn't be opposed to something akin to Veo7 if they get back to their senses (maybe with a smaller DOG)... It is sleek enough for the year 2026.
(Also, as a treat, there's also 1 (one!) screenshot of Squirrel, pretty basic pres but I thought it would be worse...)

That Veo7 screams so much of La7 is not even funny : P

The one screenshot in black and yellow is so La7 palette-wise that it hurts, when you think about.

Same logic as Portugal even though we haven't had a decent local music channel in ages.
