Every new month, Acorn TV clears out some of the older shows to make room for new ones. It costs money to maintain streaming rights, so it's simply not feasible for them (or any other subscription-based streaming service) to make everything available forever.
The good news? The list for May isn't too bad – just six shows leaving. Most of the time, we don't even notice the departures – but it's always a good idea to check to see if there's anything you'll miss.
