Makes it easier for Sky to demonstrate to Ofcom that it is a "real" channel and not just an accessory to a channel number swap, I suppose. Might even keep viewers who stumble across it keep watching in a funny sort of way; the Merit animation looks like a breakdown to anyone unfamiliar with it, at least the adverts give the impression that something follows!
They're showing proper adverts as well as the Sky ones, it almost feels like a normal channel when you watch it now!

They've well and truly cleaned house.
Off topic kind of but seems RXTV, which was great for tracking developments such as this, has gone. RXTVLog is now diverting to SportsMole and RXTVInfo just crashes - it hadn't been updated for about a month.

People actually watch it?
Some people are sociopaths.
I don't feel like I should be watching ads on Merit.

Thanks, Brekkie -- yes my mistake, it's a Digital UK (Freeview) requirement for channel number trading, nothing to do with Ofcom.
Given how long it's been on air, I'm starting to wonder if CCXTV misjudged market appetite for a fairly attractive LCN (unlikely) or at least how they went about it, timings-wise.
I don't think OFCOM care - it's a Freeview rule, not an OFCOM one AFAIK.

It launched on the 29th July 2020. But you are right, lockdown is a terrible time to launch a new channel.
When did it launch? Could the pandemic have caught them out? Lockdown certainly wasn't the best time to launch a new channel, when ad revenues are down.

I thought CCXTV launched in April?
