UKTV getting reith before the BBC sounds ridiculous but probably would happen knowing the BBC.

On air changes will probably be at 6am which is when the new day’s schedule begins for most channels.

Correct!

Does this mean as of midnight UKTV is officially split?

Midnight isn't a new broadcast day. 6am is the start.

Tweaks, emphasis on tweaks. The channel OSPs will be the same, but de-branded from UKTV. Disco promos will be used during the breaks.
