CStar must be the rebrand of D17. I'll miss the current D8 branding which works well for the channel. I wonder how it'll affect D8's current lunchtime bulletin?

To add, 70 jobs are going at i>TELE by the end of the week, which has led to a wildcat strike since 1000 BST. A loop of pre-recorded programming is currently airing.

Looking at Zattoo catch-up, i>TELE were live until approx 1130 BST, then looped the bulletin until 1330, then a pre-rec back half-hour discussion.

Since 1600 BST, someone has been able to schedule pre-rec programmes and a weather forecast with the normal evening forecaster out of vision. Maybe the presenter isn't part of the trade union affected with the strike? (Chloé Nabédian is moving to France 2 in August, so not much to lose!)
