Hmm Virgin 1 perhaps taking the slot perhaps if UKTV Bright Ideas switched places? I can't say I've watched ABC1, though that's mainly due to working hours.

UKTV G2 is also rumoured to be joining in the Freeview fun.
Whilst I find abc1 a loss, I only really watch Home Improvement. If Virgin 1 takes the slot, then i'll be concerned into what will happen to the Ftn slot. I would like it to go to UKTV G2, however UKTV have since declined these rumours, so it's not looking very good.
ABC1 isn't really going to be much of a loss. The American-style way it has commercials directly after opening titles is not something I've ever liked - we know that it will come here eventually, we don't need it to be done prematurely as a gimmick.
Yes the presentation wasn't too bad, and I do like the DOG being in the bottom right of the screen where it's the least intrusive (something which UK broadcasters SHOULD learn from the US), but it's programming is dull and repetitive, centred around the seem continual repeats of the same limited selection of shows.
It's launch was ridiculously overhyped and delayed (it's original premise as 'Daytime from Disney' was in the pipeline for 2 years before launch) and the channel that eventually launched has never really lived up to what was promised.
