Even if it was launching in 4 days time, there's nothing really worth setting the video for on Daytime. Only thing I'm interested in is how big the Dog will be. I know its not Disney branded, but if its anything like the Disney channels, I expect a huge animal in the bottom right.

BTW, Is there any logos for this channel yet or is the only thing known about it is the name and that it’s going to be on SDN? Will it have continuity? Probably not! Even the dull FX channel sounds more exciting than this one.

Something also very interesting on the f tn forums, bearning in mind most of the members are morons, (actually alot of people here are registerd there), it says f tn will be closing down and will be being replaced by National Geographic LIte.


I hope it's true. It might be actually, bearing in mind that ftn are having a cashflow crisis.

Has anyone actually read the posting on the FTN forum?
It is obviously a fake - and I can't believe its being discussed further here.

3 days till the expected launch.

I think I'd be happy if Jan12 was just a date where there'll start a 10 minute loop, or release more information.

Does anyone else think that the "D" in the daytime logo will be branded with the Disney "D" I can see that happening...

No, because it has officially been declared a non-Disney branded channel. One would expect the logo and other idents to be in the style of (abc), since in reality it will be an (abc) service. However, the powers that be may have decided that although the shows will be from the (abc) stable, branding in the (abc) style is to be avoided in order not to alienate UK viewers. This is unlikely, but the possibility exists.

Does Disney/Daytime even have a broadcast license yet. ? With under two days to go, I've read else where that, well, they dont.

I find it unlikely it will just launch in 2 days without prior warning. I think it's more likely they 'expected' to have their license by this time and had started doing some form of Test Broadcast.... however I've noticed that Ch22 - which I presume is where it's going has been changing ratio's when I view it on my DTT card. *shrugs*

It won't launch on Monday! On monday only a placeholder (Channel) will appear and won't launch straight away! Cool Just thought you'd like to know! (Please remember that I cannot be 100% guaranteed what I said is right! If wrong I apoligise and I hope you forgive me!)
