TV Channel Predictions 2019

Ah, I see. Sky's EPG is only a 7 day one cause it only goes up to next Monday.

If that happens, then I think Channel 5 would be in a bit of bother as they are owned by vicom. For that reason they would be absorbed into ITV or even SKY who will use 5 as free pass for all SKY one or secondary sports material. SKY could pick up many more channels

Viacom is from the us.. So what the problem?

Rubbish, they will have UK broadcasting licences so they'll be fine.

Oneness to be dropped for seasonal promotions like they do at Christmas which start at summer, which have accompanying idents to go with them and the return of trailer stings as a reaction to ITV. More idents mixed in with adverts on Channel 5 and 4, with an ident refresh on Channel 4 telling the next part of the story following the story of the Iron Giant, or failing that more iron giant idents or new characters to accompany the giant based on the blocks. To boot more BBC 2 curve idents but people start to tire of the curves already and people start complaining about them and even wish they had the 2 back

My predictions :
• The ITV(1) refresh will be abandoned by the end of January 2021, but declared a 'success'
• 'Onemess' will continue to torment us for at least another year
• Sky/Comcast will begin closing SD channels
• Sky/Comcast will close all their Cinema channels
• All 376 viewers of the launch week of 'BBC Scotland' will be exposed as TVF members or BBC employees
• The BBC/Discovery cannibalisation of UKTV will not end well
• C4 will finally put +1HD and 47HD on Sky
• Yet another channel will rebrand their pres using Art College video footage from a mobile phone, and declare it as "an intuitive representation of identity, portraying real life situations", and other such meaningless drivel
• The co-ordinates of the TVS Archive will be discovered in a safe deposit box later revealed to belong to Brekkie

Riaz, surely?

BBC regional newsrooms with the white and red sets (like Points West) get a makeover. Those sets have been around for a decade now.

It's certainly not 10 years since Points West got a new set. However, aren't they all designed to be able to switch colours/themes rather easily. A new look (other than white/red) for BBC News would only require the changing of the front of the light boxes with the newsroom views.
