Since there have been way too many threads about where they went recently (even though we had a couple huge threads on it) I'll summarize

Equity Broadcasting (the owners of those channels) went belly up. Kaput. Bankrupt. Back in January. In April they sold off all their stations. Some to media conglomerates like Daystar. Some to banks. Some to local owners. All of these stations have other ways of broadcasting

Starting in May channels started leaving as the new owners took over. Some were lost in June due to the digital upgrade. Since Equity had no money to construct digital facilities they shut them down. Fox was lost in July when the new owner took over.

The rest have left within the last week or so. Yesterday 11720 transponder was shut off and today 11800 transponder was shut off

They are gone now.

So there is the answer to "where did they go" :)
 
unstuck thread

I hope after 3 months everyone knows that the G18 Equity channels are gone :)
