Jenny Faulkner: COM7 (and COM8) are temporary multiplexes which are broadcast from 30 main transmitters covering around 75% of UK households and are expected to close in 2020. They won't be added to any additional transmitters. None of the broadcasters who have channels on COM7 (BBC, Channel 4, etc) have announced what their future plans are for their channels currently on COM7/8.
