No Sky News for DTT

I know there's been a few Digital Terrestrial viewers on here hoping that, with this expansion of the free channels on DTT to do with the new FTA boxes, Sky News could be appearing on there.

BBC One - New Look

I've had two well placed BBC sources tell me that BBC One is getting a new look this month (Feb). That means that the BBC balloon has less than 30 days to live

If my sources aren't fibbing, I'd hazard a guess at Feb 11th for a new look.

Worst TV Announcer

Some time ago, Banksey started a little thread entitled the Best TV Announcer. It was interesting reading. Now I think its only fair that we hear from those of you who've cringed at some of those 'golden nuggotts' between the programmes.

New channels appeared on DTT

on ITV Digital, three new channel entries have appeared on 800, 801, and 802, with the 'old' BBC Knowledge (the one that goes off at weekends) still being carried on 803 (I guess this is for anyone who still hasn't re-tuned channel 13 yet).

ITV News Studio

I read in a previous thread that the 'news control center' behind the newsreader on the ITV news is an image. Is this true because the TV Monitors change image in the background and you can see people walking across the balcony above the newsreader.

GMTV

In today's Daily Mail it says Lara Logan will be on the sofa when Fiona is on maternity leave. This has annoyed Penny and Kate. GMTV needs to relaunch IMO. it is cheap, tacky and unprofessinal.

DOGs on BBC Four

Does anyone know if BBC Four will have a permanent DOG, similar to BBC Knowledge? My view is that it really shouldn't. I know the 'to DOG or not to DOG' debate is old and tired, but if I want to know what channel I'm on I only have press one button!!! See the 'DOG Poll'.
