Yes, about 10 years ago you would probably have had to have them both sharing a channel, so the EPG could say CBBC/BBC Choice.

They stopped this confusion when they launched CBBC on Choice, which took up Choice's daytime hours and eventually became the CBBC Channel.

On Virgin Media (or at least on my partner's old box) you still get CBBC during BBC Three's off hours (etc)

Yes, sometimes in the morning when BBC Three has been on the last night in standby, you can see CBBC for a few moments before the box wakes up and finally shows the "Off-air" screen.

Oddly, one day Channel 5 was broadcasting on BBC One 0_o I had to change channel to fix it.

Interesting that 60Seconds is promoting their website being bbc.co.uk/newsbeat

I've always thought the BBC3 bulletins should be branded as such - Newsbeat on Radio 1 during the day, BBC3 during the night.

Why don't they use 60 Seconds branding on BBC One at 8pm? It would be far away from BBC News and would help draw some viewers to Three, and still keep that 'familiar' brand.

I doubt a bright pink ticker and some 18-year-old presenter will appeal to BBC One viewers though, If it was the old look 60 Seconds, I would have said you have a point, as that looked more mature than what we have now.

So the logo is pink - so what?

I completely fail to understand the problem with that.

Was that just in-vision continuity I saw -- on the BBC?

Wow. Not all bad then. Even if it is amateur night.

I only ever watch BBC Three for Family Guy, but it's something I've come to cherish. However this bleedin' woman who turns up before some shows these days is really starting to grate on me. I feel like I'm watching CBeebies with her patronisingly hip and down with da kidz tones. I might have to buy the DVD box set just to avoid her. Seriously, give her the boot already!

On the plus side, she seems to be fading further and further into the background every time she's on...it looks like she's about to be beamed up to the Starship Enterprise.

However nice this look is, I can't help thinking that it's not as good as what went before. Give it some tweakage, it'd be fine for another few years.
