What happened to ABC1 on Freeview UK?

Question

I know this happened ages ago but we suddenly stopped getting the freeview channel ABC1 and I wondered why? My friend who also watched it had the same thing so i'm guessing it happened to everybodies freeview but I was wondering why this happened? I just saw 8 Simple Rules yesterday and that prog used to be on this channel and I just wondered why. It was channel 15 I think.

Answer 1
