Hello, I have just amended the programming info to include the following...

Programming

"Along with all of the That's TV stations, That's Manchester programming consisted of a single news bulletin, shown on a loop during the evening and overnight, with teleshopping and old films broadcast during the day. However, after their deal with classic movie provider Timeless ^[1] expired, That's TV started to simulcast various TV shopping and reality TV shows on their channels before bringing in more music programming in the evening.

By 2020 That's Manchester had become reduced to a 10 minute local news slot at 6pm, with music video shows networked under the 'That's 70s', 'That's 80s' and 'That's 90s' section name in the afternoon and night (TJC - The Jewellery Channel was still being simulcast in the morning). In November 2020, the newly rebranded That's Christmas started broadcasting the "Retro Disco Christmas Party" in its music video slot, with a mixture of Christmas classics and 'Europop/Party Tunes' from the 70s, 80s and 90s being played back-to-back^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]"

...However, as this probably is the same for That's Solent, That's Swansea Bay and That's Thames Valley...isn't it time for all these That's TV licences to be merged under the main topic heading...as was proposed by Rentier on 21 July 2017 and Wire723 on 22 July 2017...especially since they have 16 licences but only 4 of them have separate articles with not one of them being the licence that was STV2.
