EDIT: I managed to mess up my comment, it should say "my birthday".

Oh dear... This numpty is on the loose again. He plagues other forums I participate on.

Typical. It took them from being taken off Freeview before they turned back into a proper 24/7 music channel, and Freeview viewers miss out. 4 Music is awful too. Show music, past and present, instead of only the same handful of current chart music and that's it, interspersed with TV shows and movies. You have enough channels to show that content on, leave 4 Music for... I dunno... music?

Pardon my French, but what the f**k?!

I don't know if that's in response to his petition or my signing of it - if it's the former, then I believe Callum Precious is well known for being fantastical to the extreme; if it's the latter, then I thought adding my signature to the two already there would be mildly humorous.

spike is not bad, and how many people here like today's music, I certainly do

If you're interested in how the Spike brand was relaunched in the US last year, here's a nice little video:

Very interesting. I do like the branding a lot for the channel. From the logo with the simple typeface edited with the diagonal cut to the mixture of fonts used and the nice palette. It feels fresh and modern without targeting at a young age. I think Viacom should move the UK's on screen logo to the bottom right to tie in with the lovely on screen promotions.

Yep agreed. The DOG is completely in the wrong place at the moment.

Does anybody have a cap of the DOG? We've got Virgin and no functioning aerial connection.

Thanks rob. And might I add... oh.
