Published Monday, Apr 14 2003, 18:08 BST | By Neil Wilkes
Simply Television has today shuffled its channel lineup, removing three shopping and two factual stations.
The move coincided with the repositioning of Simply Nostalgia as a 24/7 general entertainment channel and came one month ahead of the launch of Simply London.
Gone are Simply Jewellery, Simply Health and Simply Music, leaving just Simply Shopping, Simply Shopping +, Simply Home and Simply Holidays TV. They are joined in the shopping lineup by new channel Simply Ideas.
Meanwhile, documentary channels Simply Nature and Simply Einstein both appear to have closed down after being removed from the Sky Digital lineup.
