Current UK Final Countdown & Current UK To Close In March [View all]

http://current.com/items/93662424_current-uk-final-count-down.htm

"Since 2007 Current UK has been giving you independent points of views and some of the best documentaries ever produced.

We brought you the untold stories, unseen faces and unheard voices that the mainstream media didn't dare to touch.

Sadly our time is coming to an end and on the 11th of March 2012 we will stop broadcasting in the UK.

Join us at Current UK as we prepare for closure by celebrating some of our most groundbreaking documentaries."

"Current UK has announced today that BSkyB has withdrawn support for the channel and it is likely to stop broadcasting by mid March 2012.

Obviously the entire team at Current is devastated by this news.

However, we’d like to thank you for your support and belief in independent television. We hope that you will continue to enjoy our unique output until we close and that you will keep in touch with Current US on Current.com once we're gone."
