Shed has poor ratings, if a BARB panel viewer went on holiday it'll dip to 0 ratings. H&H and Shed were treated as something to add onto the total portfolio of Discovery SOCI wise.

Discovery now have a strong FTA line-up with the Scripps purchase a few years ago, so not surprised they're going.

No love internally is given to Shed, they scrapped making promos for the channel ages ago, let alone update the OSP

Yep but that was a cost-cutting move for some of the genre channels including Shed (Discovery Science, Turbo, Investigation Discovery, Home and Health) a few years back

Other than low ratings, I also think that this is due to ad revenue falling down because of the coronavirus related economic recession, every time that there is ad revenue slowdown, channels are always bound to close unfortunately......
