S4C on 104 in Wales

And W starts at 6am on Monday on LCN 25, currently occupied by Dave ja vu, so what happens to that? Presumably they are re-using the capacity for W. The EPG gives nothing away.

Thanks. It's fairly well buried.
I wonder what the relative viewing figures are between S4C and Channel 4 HD (in Wales).

I think this is the summary:
Remove Ideal Extra 94

Swap S4C HD 110 and Channel 4 HD 104 (in Wales)
Move ITV4 +1 from 60 to 89
Move Drama +1 from 74 to 60
Move Dave ja vu from 25 to 74

Mux move Together TV 83
Mux move Drama +1

Add W 25
 
My understanding is that W is replacing Dave ja vu on LCN 25, by not only using LCN 25, but also using Dave ja vu's current multiplex, service ID and Dave ja vu's current other metadata IDs.
Similarly Dave ja vu will be switched to use Drama+1's current multiplex, Drama+1's current IDs as well as Drama+1's current LCN.

I can't find the article which I first read this but that is also what is implied on https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/freeview-announces-further-channel-changes-on-monday
