Most of it seemed to be content previously shown on Channel 4 but I didn't attempt to check them all.

Are the promotions for the Community Channel or A&E/Blaze?
It is a surprising situation!

The promos are for History Channel, CI Channel etc, none of which are on Freeview. The new TCC content does seem to have been produced by/for A&E Networks. It's an unusual situation as A&E's Blaze channel took the former channel number of the Community Channel with TCC taking a slot further down the EPG as it moved to SDN. EPG slot trading between broadcasters isn't allowed on Freeview, so very unusual. Unless A&E Networks actually bought the "channel", which might explain why TCC carried Community Channel programmes for a few days before the changeover. Maybe TCC will develop into a new FTA channel from A&E and extend hours over time. Then again, it could just have been a contrived method of grabbing CC's old EPG slot only to close TCC at a later date. Who knows? it's all very odd.
