Sky One ends on Virgin Media (28th February - 1st March 2007)

At midnight on 1st March 2007, all Sky channels were abruptly removed from Virgin Media cable due to a contract dispute. This shows the moment Sky One disappeared from the service, a sudden cut to black screen with no mention from the announcer or EPG. This dispute would, astonishingly, last over a year and a half, and the Sky channels would not return until 13th November 2008, twenty months later.
