many TV channels no longer on iTunes

[jarodharris]

I notice this morning the absence of quite a large number of Tv stations/channels from the iTunes Networks and Studios section of the store.
Notably - Bravo, HDTV and Oxygen are no longer featured. I'm pretty sure there are others gone too, but those are the ones I know for certain are missing.

Is this a temporary thing? or have contracts ended and not been renewed?
I'm certainly hoping for the return of all 3.

Bravo and Oxygen are both part of NBCUniversal, so it may well be a contract thing.

EDIT: try this link. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewRoom?fcId=251537261&id=37 There's a bunch of stuff there that is set to release in November. I suspect that it's just that the channel will no longer be prominently featured.
