Can't see how this passes WP:Broadcast. Channel appears to have missed a alleged launch date, does not have an ofcom broadcast license which is needed to broadcast a channel in the UK and as its not launched broadcasts nothing what so ever. Ruth-2013 (talk) 22:29, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This violates Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When this channel begins airing then we may see it it's notable enough for a Wiki article. --Madison-chan (talk) 00:10, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy - Agree that it fails crystal. If/when the channel starts broadcasting it probably will be notable and there are no problems with the article itself so moving it to user space may be a better than deleting. WP:BROADCAST is an essay, an Ofcom TV broadcast licences is required to broadcast from the UK, not necessarily to it and the launch date in the article and on the company's website is listed as 2011. - Jasmeet_181 (talk) 15:10, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A source in the wikipedia page here http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/news/a244594/electric-sofa-to-launch-3-channels-on-sky.html is dated july 15th 2010 and claims they where launching on November 1st. So whatever the website says this proves they have missed an alleged launch date.(Ruth-2013 (talk) 05:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. As a TV channel that has yet to air, it might still be notable if it were highly anticipated, but I could find no evidence of such. -- Whpq (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
