YOS XXXX MTV2 FLUX

 
01/11/05: Elefante TV Telemarket from Italy has ceased terrestrial transmissions via analogue means. From now on
it will only be available on satellite and DVB-T. Terrestrial frequencies have been replaced by a rather weird testcard from www.yos.it, and it's also available via satellite. www.yos.tv is registered by MTV Italia.

02/11/05: now we know something more about the new and mysterious XXXX channel which appeared yesterday on Atlantic Bird 1, 12°.5 west and on italian analogue terrestrial broadcasting. It should be the italian version of MTV2 in its pre-launch state. A logo of MTV2 US has been spotted and also a short new music bulletin made by 'La7 Televisioni s.p.a.' which is tightly connected to MTV Italia, because it's fully part of Telecom Italia Media, which also owns 51% of MTV Italia. In addition, on satellite the provider of the channel is identified as TIMB1, and TIMB means Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting.

From today the channel is also available in the La7 package on
