broadcasting at midnight on 11th March 2012. The channel will come off the Virgin platform at the same time.<br/> <br/> Obviously the entire team at Current is devastated by this news and we know, from all your good wishes, that you, our enlightened viewers, will miss us too. Unfortunately the sudden withdrawal of funding leaves us without a viable alternative.<br/> <br/> However, we’d like to thank you for your support and belief in independent television. We had a dream to bring untold stories and new voices to television. We hope that you will continue to enjoy our unique output until we close and that you will keep in touch with Current US on Current.com once we're gone.  </div> </div> <ol id="itemDetails"

The more I watched, the more I realised that I had been hungry for a long time. You have unleashed so many emotions. I have tasted angry, sad, fascinated, righteous, indignant, admiration and a multitude of others. My senses have been in overdrive, sampling morsels of some, chunks of others. Until I heard you were shutting down in the UK. Now, the familiar hunger which I thought was in the past, can be felt lurking in the shadows, playing the waiting game until Monday 12th March. I feel the old pangs welling up, just waiting to pounce into the void you will leave. To have been able to see the whole sky rather than just a picture on the wall has been a privilege. I feel truly sad, but so honoured that the information you have provided will be with me for a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.</p> </li> <li class="foot"> <a class="commentTime" rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120311205415/http://current.com/shows/upstream/93612707_statement-current-uk-due-to-close-in-march.htm#93698440">1 day ago</a> <span class="commentActions" style="display: none;"> <ul class="responseInteractMenu commentInteract floatRight floatList"> <li class="last"> <a href="#flag" class="flaggable defaultColor" rel="93698440">flag</a> </li> </ul> <span class="commentReply"> <a href="#" class="replyable" rel="{id: 93698440, username: 'RosyTimes'}"> <span class="Sprites replyIconGreen"> </span> reply </a> </span> <div id="93698440_reply_container" class="replyContainer" style=""></div> </span> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="contentItem-93698356" class="contentItem Response response response_93698356"> <div class="userIcon"> <a title="CurrentUK" rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120311205415/http://current.com/users/CurrentUK.htm"><img alt="CurrentUK" width="60" height="60" longdesc="http://i2.crtcdn1.net/images/studio/user/2011/07/11/CurrentUK_399810_60x60.jpg" class="delayedImage" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120311205415im_/http://i2.crtcdn1.net/images/spacer.gif"/></a> </div> <ul class="commentMain "> <li class="heading"> <div class="vote"> <div class="voting" id="commentVoting_93698356"> <a href="#commentVoteUp_93698356" class="Y Sprites voteUp comment id_93698356" rel="{id: 93698356}"></a> <a href="#commentVoteDown_93698356" class="N Sprites voteDown comment marginLeft id_93698356"></a> <a href="#commentVoteShow_93698356" class="C Sprites voteShow comment id_93698356"></a> </div> <div class="score neu"> +1 </div> </div> <a class="username" title="CurrentUK" rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120311205415/http://current.com/users/CurrentUK.htm">CurrentUK</a> <span class="Sprites staffBadge"> </span> <span class="Sprites siteModBadge floatLeft" style="margin:0.5em 0 0 0.5em;"></span> <a name="93698356" class="responseData" rel="{id: 93698356, parentId: 93612707, parentCommentId: 0, userId: 208315737, position: 9, readOnly: false, commentsLocked: false, rebuttalCount: 0, contentStatus: 'STATUS_APPROVED'}" style="height: 0; width: 0; color: #fff;"> </a> <br class="clearBoth"/> </li> <li class="commentText"> <p>Thanks for all your amazing comments and messages of support!

I watch most documentaries on TV but have a particular interest in substance use/social issues/mental health and sexuality and Current provided the best content around these subjects. It has to be one of the most educational channels on TV, in fact, possibly THE most educational. The big tv companies seem more content to throw money at mindless drivel that seems to bulk out most of the daily viewing.

I have just contacted Sky. If you ate not a customer with them just ignore all the options and you'll eventually get through to someone. The lady hadn't even heard of the channel but I told her how amazing it was and how it's folding because if BSkyB removing their funding. Someone is calling me back... This is the number 0844 545 6511. Current tv is worth a little phone call right? Will probably change nothing but at least we' ll know we did something. And sky will know how loved Current is.

Is there anywhere still normally (and greatly) alive in British T.V. after Current? I don't think so, not as much, that is. The closure of Current will mean perpetual channel surfing in The UK!!!</p> <p>However, the point is that Current is and was great (mostly), and will be much missed in the UK. Wouldn't the B.B.C. & I.T.V. help support Current through Freesat? (I know there are people who would pay £40 for a cheap Freesat box and £30 for a cheap dish just to watch their favourite channel, Current UK.)</p> <p>I didn't watch it enough, and just had made a resolution to watch it more before I read this news of closure. The mark of something truly worthy is that it just being there, for whenever you can avail of it, if at all, is consolation and inspiration, quieting and exciting, at the same time. While the worth comes from each time one did watch it. I just had started to watch most days I could. Ah well.</p> <p>Thanks Current, and very good wishes.

Too much money and effort is put into making Britain stupid by putting on TV shows that lack education or morals. How do you make people stupid enough to never question us and always believe what we say? I know, promote consumerism and make them think the most important thing in the world is to spend all your hard earned cash on looking good and looking better than everyone else. Lets disconnect everyone from society so they forget what it really is to be human and they will also not think of the murdered, starved innocent people as human, therefore they will not care anymore.
