Youth entertainment station Rapture TV has announced plans for its latest relaunch.
The channel - currently testing on 11.344H - will return on November 14, free-to-air via satellite. A backlog in allocating Sky EPG numbers had threatened a delay until January but the broadcaster has now managed to secure a spot in the entertainment section of the electronic guide.
A new programming lineup has been assembled for the relaunch, including BBC drama series Tinseltown, which will air from January. Other shows are in the genres of film, extreme sports, anime, gaming, technology and gossip.
Rapture also intends to launch a broadband simulcast by Christmas.
