There's something odd about a system which allows non-BBC staff to take control of BBC output and out of the hands of BBC staff.

Indeed.

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?

Thanks for the info

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)??

Just to be an annoying pedant, is that 05:00 on the eighth, in layman's parlance, i.e. on Sunday morning; or 29:00 on the eighth, in BBC parlance, i.e. on Monday morning?

I think everyone has forgotten that the Learning Zone will be back by then. In fact on the night of Friday 6th to Sat. 7th January. So I would have thought if there were going to be these tests this year they will be on the previous night Thurs/Fri am just like last year.

Goodness. I'd never considered utilising my mobile telephone to propel me up the Taff.

Anyone found out any more info about the engineering closedowns in January?

Will it be 5.00am - 6.00am on both BBC ONE and BBC TWO?
