No Rock And Roll Fun

ONE OFF, ONE BACK: Top-end snob channel Artsworld is going to switch itself off and go and find something else to do with its time. The channel that seriously believes the best Costello album is the Juliet Letters only came into being 18 months ago. Not perhaps gone bust over-estimating people's intelligence, as being over-hopefull in persuading them to pay for it. Toffs will be pleased to hear, however, that D-Classics is to go subscription-free pretty soon.
Meanwhile, Rapture is back. The strange dance and probably some skateboard channel which had packed up its tools and shuffled away has returned to Sky Digital - you'll find it under the general channels now.
