ABC1 Broadcast 24 hours a day on Sky but only until 6 pm on Freeview. Logically I know that there must be a computer that is set up to stop the Freeview transmission at the same time every night, but recently I have been starting to wonder. I think there is some treacle thief with a big red button that he presses to stop the signal one minute before the end of “Less Than Perfect” just to piss me off.

Maybe I’m being paranoid but the signal never goes off during the advert for ABC1’s flagship show “Kevin Hill”, which incidentally is only shown in the evening and thus only available to people with Sky!
