TV Forum: New for (the middle of) 2020
And yet they still insist your phone doesn't listen to you. Happened more times than I care to remember - indeed I swear on occasion I've just had the thought about something, not even spoken about the idea or searched for it and yet somehow a related advert comes up.

Personally I don't agree with live coverage of trials in order to protect witnesses, and I do think in this case live coverage could inflame a fragile situation, especially as the nature of trials can often mean they are very one sided for a period and then flip to the other side of the argument.
The Sky News Thread
I think the huge interest in the George Floyd story means many viewers will be interested in the verdict, but not so much the trial. Indeed broadcasting it live just highlights the value of well put together report on proceedings and in most cases a report replayed every hour with the key developments will appeal to more people than continuous live coverage.Personally I don't agree with live coverage of trials in order to protect witnesses, and I do think in this case live coverage could inflame a fragile situation, especially as the nature of trials can often mean they are very one sided for a period and then flip to the other side of the argument.

Coronavirus | Television News Coverage
They did it a few weeks ago too. Not too much of an issue in Wales and NI who just keep the BBC1 schedule in place but means on BBC Scotland as BBC2 carries what should be on BBC2 they have to move the BBC2 programmes to BBC1 Scotland.

Guess it isn't really cheating if you've been told to pack your bags and get out by the end of the month.

BBC Publishes Annual Plan
Because like with BBC3 it sharing spectrum with a childrens service means they might as well air something, and I think a mixture of archive shows and content that doesn't quite fit on BBC2 will probably do quite well.

I'll miss this randomness.
One more time...
Not to derail too much but seeing as you are mentioning namesakes... In one of my old jobs there was a manager there who had the same name as me. I'd never seen him before, but HR got us mixed up and there were pay problems so we were asked to both come in and give more details to help differentiate us on the system. Turns out, not only did we have the same first name and surname, but also the same middle name, same day and month of birth (he was exactly 10 years older), same eye colour, both wore glasses and had the same hair colour and style. After the meeting we went for a coffee and a chat in the break room and had a laugh about it and kept finding out what else we had in common, and turns out we were both from the same general area, went to the same primary and secondary schools and turns out were both gay! It was a very strange afternoon for sure.
He did tell me his family were quite unlucky and prone to accidents and told me about a few members who were quite ill or had died through various accidents or tragedies. Many years after I had left the job I heard through a friend who still worked there at the time that my doppelganger had been involved in a horrible car accident and was now quadriplegic.

Don't think a channel since has played around with the ad structure to the extent they did, which is a shame in a way.
Big Ends
ABC1 closed September 26th 2007, the channel only lasted three years:

Believe the stream was later reused for Playhouse Disney.

As for the Pro16 rights - I'm not sure half these broadcasting rumours are worth the paper they're written on. I think the fact Sky had some rights for a season or two a few years back and didn't push on for more suggested they didn't have much value for them.
The Sport Thread
Well they barely do any England matches anyway - Gabby did the Wales v England fixture this year. I think regardless of what happened it looked like they were priming Gabby to be the lead host should they retain the rights anyway. I'd guess Jason Mohammed may come in as the secondary host.As for the Pro16 rights - I'm not sure half these broadcasting rumours are worth the paper they're written on.

Designed by Lightwell.A small section of a much larger, multi-purpose virtual studio we have designed and prepared for BBC Sport, went live today. In this instance it was used for coverage of the World Figure Skating Championships highlights on BBC2. pic.twitter.com/tC3cP1XT1u

Looks good though, even if obviously fake, although the "massive studio" (and yes, I realise) for such a small event doesn't seem quite right, but it'll look the part for the Euros and Olympics I imagine.

LOL @ the virtual Robin Cousins. Not even a platform then - just a black mat by the looks of it.Looks good though, even if obviously fake, although the "massive studio" (and yes, I realise) for such a small event doesn't seem quite right, but it'll look the part for the Euros and Olympics I imagine.
