IIRC it was advertised as a long term lease, so presuming the building is now an asset managed by the administrator it will be sold with that lease.

Caroline Aherne 1963-2016

Exactly what it was. But I think that was about the right tone sometimes subtle is better and more tasteful.

4Music

It was rebranded and no one noticed.

It is very MTV... sadly not the super-creative 80s/90s MTV, more the stupid and annoying "RANDOM LOLZ !!!1" modern MTV look.

Are they in place?

As far as I know, the feed was transmitted from a satellite van to Brussels (so, that would most logically be VRT) and even the EVN in Geneva. A reporter that night posted it on Twitter. I have...

Goodnight Sweetheart revival added to lineup

Really? I wouldn't say the original actresses are better or less well known than the replacements. I'd prefer the later actresses to return to the parts as that's the way we left them. The Goodnight...

Huh. I just blithely assumed I would have noticed if they'd done that. Shows what I know!

Living and the dead tonight

**** edit

Not just lip sync but a total disconnect between pics and speech. Looked like a totally s**t edit from what I saw of it - near the end of the scene. Wife said it just didn't make sense.

Who remembers the classic Channel 4 show?

It's just an antenna (3.5GHz helix by the looks of it), they were regularly used on poles (pit-lane-pole was the fancy name) for hand held cameras. The actual transmitter would either be on board...

Imagining an alternate future for DTT.

The initial thought that ITV operating a multichannel platform would help secure its future in a declining advertising market was flawed. Sky's channels were created to support the platform - to...

CITV opt outs

There is two questions to this:

Presumably there was a late-ish change? He-Man was pulled but not all regions updated their listings in time? If anyone has copies of the TVTimes, it would be interesting to see if He-Man was listed...

Analogue Cable Memories

From Scientific Atlanta Boxes to CMT pulling out of Europe

I forgot I had this on YouTube, a lot of cable channel hopping from 1999. The picture didn't jump on TV, it's from the VCR. Easy to forget how rubbish the picture quality used to be on The Box.

My5 TV channel to replace Channel 5 +24

Having looked at the channel's content and schedule - it's a far better use of a 24 hour Freeview stream than C5+24 ever was. But the programming however is just a mire of factual content from...
