The Evening Standard has been redesigned - and London Live has been downgraded from the first column in the TV listings to the fifth column.

IIRC that the special status for LL listings in the Standard was one of the selling points of the channel's original bid for the licence.

They've also dropped 'London' from the masthead so the same commitment to the Capital as London Live it seems.

Oh and poo emojis to describe the weather!

Eros returns to the masthead.

They're going to lose quite a few viewers if they have as much trouble as I did. Took me ages to work it out how to restore access with a setting I've never used before or was even aware of. Never known a rescan like it!


Coincidentally I've just had an email from London Live saying them saying they don't have a record of whether I signed up for the terms and conditions when I signed up for an account with them (which I must have done when they launched) and I need to sign up for a new account. Presumably everyone's been sent this so that's thousands of potentially valuable marketing contact details they won't be able to use now.

I believe LL is complying with an upcoming European law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), so that organisations have to ask if the customer wants to continue receiving communications.

Customer (singular) seems about right.

LL and the word 'complying' in the same sentence ! Blimey, that's a first !

Don't forget the Hemel Hempstead relay will also carry London Live on UHF Ch 34 from April 18th

Coo !
London Lite and SuperDave gave kudos
