Pistonheads TV - what's happened?

[Sebring440]

No TV link on the main PH homepage anymore? What's happened?

Or is there a link I've missed?

It was postured as "geared towards becoming the largest motoring video channel outside of Youtube" by the marketing people, and I thought it had a promising start.

So is it still there, or has it faded quietly into the sunset hoping no one will notice?

Isn't it still broadcast as one of the shows on the "Showcase" channel on Sky & Freesat? I'm sure I've seen it listed recently on the EPG on internet enabled freeview listings too somewhere in the mid 200's.

Pretty much just you, which will be why it's gone.

Ah, so it has gone then.

You're obviously in the know, tell us more.

PHTV was OK at the start, and getting better. Where did it go ? Will it come back ? Have I just missed it for 'x' amount of months ?

Given all the st kicking off with YouTube and their censorship, I'd have thought PH:TV would want to capitalise on this and draw in those who want to emulate Clarkson etc by posting controversial reviews. Most of the adverts I see on YT (yes, I have AdBlock, I can't use it at work though) are offering me a Peugeot 3008 for £199 a month. The fact that I'm watching a C63 owners' review seems to be lost on the Tube.

PH:TV would do well to draw in those who want to make and view videos about cars without any censorship. From my limited YouTube experience, this is a pretty raw subject with the majority of YouTube creators, so it'd be good to bring people over to PH while the scar is healing.
