It's now time for some of the other companies who make money from pay television to stump up.

Never watched & have no intention to. Can fold any time it likes.

What a selfish attitude to take, it's done a lot to help both society in general and by targeting issues in particular from breast cancer to LGBT understanding.

I suppose that's its greatest strength and weakness at the same time. The programmes it makes are for worthy causes, and tackle worthy subjects that probably wouldn't get the screen time otherwise. But, they don't make great television, and when someone wants to turn off and unwind, do they choose a program about LGBT rights in the US or Celebrity Juice or Big Brother.
I, for one, am glad this channel exists and hope it continues to exist, but I can see why so few people are watching, and why it's needed to kick off this funding appeal.

It's not profitable because so few people watch it, Richard. There are alternative ways of drawing people's attention to issues. I mean, who isn't aware of breast cancer and LGBT issues? I'm certainly well aware, and I don't watch the Community Channel to receive this information.

Re: Community Channel asking for funds to prevent imminent closure.
It's still on the air despite saying it could close on the 30th.
Maybe VM could take off something like Fox HD and use the money saved for the Community Channel?

I'd rather watch paint dry.

Re: Community Channel asking for funds to prevent imminent closure.
Great news, 80% of the target has now been reached!
The deadline has now been extended to 17 July 2016 to enable the remaining funding to be raised.
