I understand Forces TV, channel 96, is not available via Sudbury. Is this a permanent, will will it become available at a later date? If so, when?
Thank You

Forces TV in on the COM7 multiplex which isn't broadcast from Sudbury. It's a temporary multiplex only broadcast from 25 main transmitters which will close by June 2022.
Unless Forces TV negotiate a deal with a multiplex operator to move to one of the other multiplexes, the situation won't change before then.
