Does it even have any content worthy of UKTV transferring over to other channels?

To be fair, The Bold and the Beautiful could easily be put on W, considering it's female-skewing audience.

Considering it barely manages 15k viewers on CCX I doubt they'll be that keen on bringing it over to W.

Also, CCXTV was only on Freeview, and W is not on Freeview, so there'd be zero audience inheritance. Drama's a better fit.

Probably announcing a new Gold Original.

Odd they waited until almost 11pm to announce that something “exciting” was happening and they will reveal details at 8am tomorrow...

Maybe it's yet another documentary about Morcambe & Wise. This time about the time they got stuck in a lift for 10 minutes in 1972.

I think they’re going to announce a new show coming called Only Fools & Horses. To help the public get used to it, they’re going to show it. A lot.

bit niche, but the ‘tell you what’ could mean it’s Alan Partridge related. Those who know know

Makes you wonder why Ideal World bothered to put (relatively) so much effort into CCX buying content like The Bold & The Beautiful , setting up a website and social media accounts, and even getting Trish Bertram in doing some pre-recorded continuity (Trish must be some $$ to book to record for them) when they could have just done a 'merit' and shown bare minimum content and still got the same result in flogging the Freeview slot on!

I wouldn't be too surprised if Ideal World consider doing the same thing again and flog off their juicy EPG channel 22 slot. In these (expected) tough times ahead this channel slot could be a big pay day for em?!

The Twitter account (with all 2 of its public tweets) and Wix website were clearly the work of an afternoon.

Given how long the process took, I wonder if Ideal World entered in to the process without a single buyer in mind and therefore wanted to use the channel and its much longer airtime more effectively, rather than entirely writing it off as ITV clearly had done.

The announcement is just over half an hour away. I can imagine about 6 people sitting with Twitter open pressing refresh every few seconds hoping to be the first to see the news... and then feeling underwhelmed when its finally revealed.

Having Gold on Freeview would be a strange move, considering they have poorly performing W and Eden (especially Eden, sadly so), which with an "enhancement" would work much better .
