8 Simple Rules

ABC1 closing down

There is some bad news for 8 Simple Rules fans in the U.K. today, ABC1, the U.K. broadcaster of 8 Simple Rules from Disney, has announced it will be closing down next month.

Lack of space on the main Freeview platform meant it could only broadcast between 6AM and 6PM. Disney has not decided wether to sell their Freeview slot or give it to one of their Disney channels.

The future of 8 Simple Rules in the U.K. is today unknown.

I think it's a disgrace.. there are so many freeview slots that aren't being used or allocated to crappy jewellry shopping channels.. either ABC are liars or the whole freeview setup is corrupt and ripping off the viewer.

DVDs are likely to be released here eventually, but nothing is confirmed yet. As for another TV station, I think its unlikely.
