Keep It Country TV is in the process of changing provider.
All their programme feeds (including online) are currently off the air. The following message is posted on the Phil Mack website: "To all viewers of Keep It Country TV There are major changes taking place over the coming days , we are moving to a new service provider on 1st February , so there will be a break in transmission on all mediums for a short period Sky 389 - Freesat 516 - Freeview 87 Freeview 516 , will be back on your screens first within the next 36 hours ,with Sky 389 & Freeview 87 following soon after .

I take what KIC say with a pinch of salt since they started bulling their alleged viewing figures up to being more than Sky Sports! Still, I hope that this isn't an excuse to cover up funding problems and that the channel does indeed return. |
Re: Keep it Country - Temporary interruption
I think what they are saying is more than likely the case. They have been in regular service for exactly a year, so the deal with their initial provider has probably lapsed. Looking at their Facebook page there is talk of them having to load several hundred hours of programme material onto new servers in preparation for next week.
PS. There is an error in what is quoted above in that the Freeview feed will be the first to return, followed by satellite. |

KIC have now fired up their new online player & it looks like they are testing the playout system:

Re: Keep it Country - Temporary interruption
Freeview 87 should now be live.
Sky 389 & Freesat 516 should return in the next 24 to 48 hours. Normal programming is scheduled to resume on Monday 6th February. |
Re: Keep it Country - Temporary interruption
A blessed relief I'd should think. Maybe fans of 'keep it country' can find a life in the meantime...

As a PS. The channel has again temprarily dissapeared from Freesat (it can still be manually tuned (11082 H at 22000) on Freesat equipment). KIC are assuring people via social media that this will be fixed by Monday. Just tuned my box in manually & came across a channel called Showbiz TV on the same transponder running a non-stop country music show (CM&T) |
Re: Keep it Country - Temporary interruption
Knowing my luck if I tried to tune anything in manually I would lose everything.
