I know this is off topic: Forum member 'nwtv2003' - do you have any screen captures of any other channels that have closed down on ntl? (e.g. Granada Plus).

8th Jan, 0500 I'm reliably told Wink


Thanks for the info Very Happy

Will both BBC 1 & 2 closedowns be 5.00am - 6.00am?? Or will BBC 1 & 2 closedown at different times (e.g. BBC 2: 3.00am - 4.00am and BBC 1: 5.00am - 6.00am)??

BBC 1 & 2 Engineering Closedowns

Digiguide listings are still NOT showing any signs of an analogue closedown. However, the early hours of Friday 6th January 2006 still seems most likely.

Has anyone else got any info on this?

BBC 1 & 2 Engineering Closedowns

STEVE 03 posted:
BBC2 closes down at 2.30am on Friday 7th January after which The Learning Zone returns so it probably won't be then. Maybe the engineering shutdown will be on Saturday 8th January on BBC2.


Friday 7th January 2006 doesnt exist. Saturday 8th January 2006 doesnt exist either.

The Learning Zone returns to BBC TWO at 2.30am on Saturday 7th January 2006 (according to Digiguide). The BBC Engineering tests are most likely to be in the early hours of Friday 6th January 2006 (as i have already said).

BBC 1 & 2 Engineering Closedowns

I started a thread on this topic around this time last year, so i thought i would do the same this year!

Digiguide now has listings for BBC ONE and BBC TWO in early January 2006. However, the listings dont show any details of an analogue shutdown yet.

Any ideas where a shutdown could slot into the listings? Does anyone else know any details yet?

The early morning of Friday 6th January 2006 looks most likely (the last engineering test was Friday 7th January 2005). BBC ONE ends programmes at 3.30am. So, the BBC ONE test COULD be 3.30am - 4.30am. BBC TWO finishes programmes at 2.00am and then joins BBC News 24 until 3.30am. So, the BBC TWO test COULD be 2.00am - 3.00am. This follows the exact time pattern as the last test.

Digiguide now has listings for early January 2006. The listings dont show any details of an analogue shutdown yet though. Any ideas where a closedown could slot in?

New Names for ITV Regions

Jack Carkdale posted:
I wonder if ITV plc will eventually get rid of all remaining remnants of the former regional company names, in favour of purely geographical suffixes? (e.g. "ITV Anglia" becomes "ITV East", etc)


I think this will happen eventually. I also think that the non-conforming ITV channels (eg Scottish TV) will eventually become more part of the network. Eg:

Scottish TV -----> ITV1 Scotland
Grampian TV -------> ITV1 Northern Scotland
UTV --------> ITV1 Northern Ireland
ITV Channel -----------> ITV1 Channel Islands
