TalkTalk YouView drop six music channels

Six music channels have been dropped from TalkTalk’s YouView based service this week in what the company called a “review” of its channels.

Heat TV, Kiss, The Box, Kerrang, Smash Hits and Magic – music channels operated by The Box Plus Network, a joint venture between Bauer Media and Channel 4, have been withdrawn. They were previously available on channels 530-535.

In a statement, TalkTalk said: “We’re always reviewing our entertainment channels to focus on the most popular ones, so from the 30th July 2015 the music channels … will no longer be available.”

TalkTalk YouView viewers can stream the affected services via the Box+ mobile app.
