Channel 5 is still clinging-on, with the pic as bad as it was when it arrived here in 1997!

Well done to UTV for two cock-ups on their DSO caption Smile

Very nice VT at the end, showing each of the globes, new idents, introducing the new HD service starting tomorrow and a visual nod to CEEFAX.



VERY well done in my view. Perfect farewell as well, from the "Analogue BBC Television Service"



RIP CEEFAX Crying or Very sad


Agreed, well done to all involved.

C4 went off air at 22:40hrs, leaving C5 analogue as the last UK service to close. Not terribly fitting IMHO Sad


Last in, last out...


I suppose. Wink

BBC 2 was first in first out !


Very Happy

00.05 - Channel 5 has gone.

Just took Dame Mary Peters a little longer to get to Black Mountain from Divis.

From what I can tell from the BBC blog, on Sky, BBC ONE NI HD will automatically replace BBC ONE HD at 143, with BBC ONE HD moving in to 900s.

Looking at KingofSat and the settings for the HD channels, I guess we won't be able to 'add channels' to get the NI feed elsewhere in the UK - unless anyone else knows different?

No probs!

You'd think they'd take the time to check it!

I should also really thank John Gartlan, who posted this on YouTube.

Went back and re-watched the BBC NI end again... A brilliant sequence with the mirror globe and monitors; lovely idea.

The BBC logo alone on black: indeed, an eerie and poignant final image.

Also...

Must say that personally, I never expected this to be shown as a symbol before the main programme! Shocked

All in all, very well done - and thank you - to BBC NI for all the effort.
