It's only secret because the source no longer exists. Wouldn't the staff have immediately set the record straight if that info from Challenge's old forum wasn't correct?

No. There was virtually no staff presence on the old forum in the last 6 months of its life.

Not 100% on-topic but I thought people might be interested in this. I'm just completing an On The Box/Sky survey about Sky One's Trollied. This question struck me as odd.

Thinking specifically of the supermarket the show is set in, were there any parts of the supermarket which you thought were better or worse than others? If so, please explain why.

This is a bit odd, "Glee Promo" turned up on the Sky 1 HD EPG at 6:59 and 7:29 this evening. Wasn't anything special about it, just a normal run-of-the-mill promo and didn't appear on the SD channel's EPG.

The 19:29 showing is on the Sky One SD EPG too. I wish more channels would do this.

Imagine a world where music channels list each video on the EPG, Shopping channels have each product listed on the EPG (Bid tried this but messed it up by not having the EPG update dynamically) and BBC One with the 19:58 news listed. What a fantastic world that would be.

Even more bizarrely, both showings have been recorded on to my Sky+HD box, as the other half has Glee Series Linked.

Worth noting that Sky Arts 1 will move up the EPG on the 24/01/12 and as a result of this Sky Living Loves will close down too.

I hope they put Will & Grace back on Living then. I never remember about Living Loves - and it's a stupid name besides.

Isn't this a common thing with Sky - buy channels then shut them down?

You'd sorta think they'd have killed it off with Bravo and Channel One though, and got Sky Arts up the EPG then.

Perhaps Sky initially thought there was a future for the channel, but as it was mainly repeats I can't see the point, and I don't recall ever watching it.

I agree with Gavin, it was rather a stupid name!

The German version of Sky Sports News launches on December 1st.

If anyone is interested you can get some idea of the branding and the rather retro looking logo here,

There is also images of the studio and newsroom. Looks pretty impressive.
