Bravo TV Axed

After years of broadcasting in various rebrandings, Bravo is set to disappear from UK screens forever as BSkyB axe the TV channel. The satellite broadcaster has decided to pull the plug on the station as it spends money on it's Living channel instead.

Bravo was always a favourite with male viewers since 1985, showing wrestling and cult classics like Twin Peaks. But Sky felt that the channel was too similar to it's own Sky1 - so has decided to pull the plug.

Bye Bye Bravo!
