It doesnt say

"On 16 July 2009, DMGT announced that due to competition from the Internet, the service would cease broadcasting most of its services on analog and digital television (with the exception of Teletext Holidays) in January 2010, with the switch off date subsequently brought forward to 14 and 15 December 2009."
