Forces TV Closes

Post by 100arw » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:54 pm

Forces TV (part of BFBS) who produced the UK military news every day at 18.00, has closed down for good.

As from 11.00 this morning (30/06) it will concentrate on it's YouTube Channel for military coverage of exercises and displays etc.

Shame, sorry to hear this. Watched a few factual & fictional programmes on Forces TV. Will miss it definately especially the Forces News at 5.30pm.

I didn't know they were closing. I had a list of Channels come up on my TV the other Day saying these will no longer be shown on "Freeview", including BBC News(HD), QVC(HD), Forces TV & More 4 +1, plus several others. I just assumed it was just "Freeview" that had pulled the plug.

That's a shame that they had some cracking old BBC comedies on over the last year. Loved seeing Dear John and Blake's 7 UFO.

OMG, Dukes of Hazzard, CHiPs, Return of The Saint, Blake's 7, Spenser for Hire, Midnight Caller, Surgical Spirit, Dear John, Sorry, UFO to name but a few, all those fantastic documentaries they had on too, can't believe they're taking a great channel off air hope someone else picks these up and shows them elsewhere. ITV4 or some channel like that for example.............

Was Airwolf ever shown on Forces TV at some stage?

Yes I believe it was but IMO Blue Thunder was a better chopper.
