A new channel launched today courtesy of Yvette Fielding!

But of note here is their 70's Yorkshire inspired ident they use before showing progs such as Arthur C. Clarke's Scary Crystal Skull. A nice touch!

Can someone get a capture?

They want to launch on freeview too. I thought there was no space left at the moment? Unless they do a smart live casino and nick other channel's air time.

I bet it suffers from terrible ghosting.

Great to see Strange But True back on our tv screens. I used to love the show when it was on in the early 1990s. I always remember a story they did about I think it was Joan Collins and guests in a haunted house in Venice? It was a while back since I saw it, probably over ten years. I wonder if they will show all the episodes?

It should be a good channel as their is a big interest in the paranormal. Just look at the popularity of Most Haunted and Most Haunted Live?

Most Haunted may be a popular program, but to base an entire channel on the concept is stretching it a bit thin isn't it?

That's not the ident he is on about. Before Arthur C. Clark's programme they've mocked up a Yorkshire Style front cap.

Do you have to hold a seance to receive it? Does your Sky box float around two feet above the shelf when it's tuned to the channel?

Ahh, I see. Well the Yorkshire End cap looked genuine enough, so there is no reason to assume the front cap was a mock:

and they had a genuine ITC animated front cap for the next programme:

This channel could be quite a good source for old idents Laughing I have set the box to get the next Arthur C Clarke tomorrow and will post a cap if it's the genuine article.

When I say mock I mean they've mocked up their own version reading 'PARANORMAL CHANNEL Colour Presentation'

Nice caps! Ben is right, I am on about that ident exactly.

Anyone notice today's "Strange But True" episodes were the same as yesterdays?
