I have to agree but some times it's the bad ones that stick.

Viva launches today at 4pm... they're showing that hideous dog in the bottom right hand corner.

Strong contender for worst rebrand of the year.

And why does it say it's launching at 4? It's launched now hasn't it? The TMF branding has gone anyway.

Seems to have a bit more music than TMF.

It's just like the day Paramount rebranded to Comedy Central, they carried on brandless between 9am and 9pm and then Comedy Central launched at 9pm.

But incredibly irritating in-programme promotions prior to ad breaks and what not.
Their ECPs don't work properly either.

I notice from the logos plastered on Wikipedia that the UK variation of Viva has an entirely different logo compared to the European channels. Any reason why?

Looking down the schedule the only thing of any real interest to me anyway is the Two and A Half Men repeats. The website suggests South Park may turn up at some point.

I was out about an hour ago and Viva was on in a takeaway I was in - I am sure it had the European form of the logo, unless it was the European feed?
