ABC1 was removed from the Sky EPG slot channel 170 at 12:04PM. The channel was also removed from the Freeview platform minutes later. On Virgin Media a screen informing of the close down is showing on the old abc1 channel 161.
The ABC1 website, has the following quote:
“ We regretfully announce that Walt Disney Television will no longer be transmitting abc1 on any of the UK TV platforms (Freeview, cable or satellite) after September 2007. Walt Disney Television would like to thank its viewers for watching the channel and interacting with the website. It's been a great few years and we appreciate your viewership. I'll miss this channel too it gave me some really great viewing pleasure down the years!!
Hope that helps

According to the TImes "After three years it’s farewell to ABC1, home to Home Improvement and Hope & Faith double bills. Disney, who owned it, blames the channel’s inability to get a slot on Freeview in the evenings."
