Its bad news having George do this - they should have bumped Buerk and Sissons onto it and given George the 10.

And Cbeebies and CBBC Digital for February - well, that's when the other kids channels are doing their relaunches etc..

So BBC Knowledge will be restricted to 7pm -->
for a month then.

Cheers, Asa

I can't believe they are going to have Knowledge's replacement only broadcasting from 7pm at night! I regularly watch BBC Knowledge in the day to record history programmes that I need for my course (and it shows many!) which will not be shown at night. Oh why couldn't they have integrated the two kids channels together? Oh, well, too late to complain I suppose!

Just can't wait for erm, a BBC Five? Well, I can hope!

I agree! By the way, I came up with my own plan for BBC FOUR which is at this thread: http://www.tvforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=1&topic=1532

Is BBC4 only going to be available to digital viewers? What about Cable TV viewers like me?http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/confused.gif

If you can receive BBC Knowledge now, you'll be able to receive BBC Four.

You never know: BBC Parliament could be renamed BBC FIVE!!

Well aren't Parliament using Purple and Green for their astons at the moment? Perhaps a play on that may be appropriate

News 24 should be renamed BBC 5 as then you have Radio 5 & TV 5 with 24hr news!!
This is BBC Five broadcasting BBC News 24 hours a day

It should (and will) remain as BBC News 24, to emphasise that it is part of the BBC News 'family'.
