Diva TV will cease broadcasting on the 14th February with its most popular programmes being moved across to their Style channel.

The closure is due to NBC Universal’s shift of focus onto the Style Network. Their offering will now comprise of Style, E!, Universal Channel, Syfy and Movies 24. The move follows NBC Universal’s acquisition by Comcast in March 2011.

Freeview, Sky and BT Vision viewers will be able to watch everything on the channel that weekend with no charge.

The channel will get a brand new logo and identity. Programming will likely remain unchanged.

This will be the third logo change since the channel’s launch. The current logo was introduced in September 2010.
