It has been confirmed in today's Daily Star that tomorrow there will be a Christmas TV Guide covering 12 days. I assume most papers with the xmas guides in tomorrow will start from Monday 20th December rather than the Saturday 18th, but the odd guide tomorrow may well start from the Saturday 18th or the Sunday papers will.
IPC, not us. Although it makes business sense that if you put a supposedly attractive soap actor on the cover on the magazine to generate the highest possible sale. Perhaps profit too, as WOT is considerably cheap to produce as the paper is a lot flimsier than other publications.
Any one know when the next scheduled analogue (and digital) shutdown is when they show testcard j on bbc 1 and 2 on analogue and testcard w on bbc 1 and 2 on digital between usually 3.00am - 4.00am ??
Last time they were in the early hours of: 4/12/03 and 9/1/04.

Thats understandable as they want to sell as much as they can, however there are attractive soap actors in other soaps like Emmerdale and Corrie (Scott, Jason etc) and they hardly ever get a cover, if they were in EE they would be on the cover for every small storyline they were involved in. I just think some mags are very biased towards EE and the BBC and its very unfair.

Although you can bet that all days until Christmas Eve will be guessed by copying any normal week and then putting TBA elsewhere, so for example the schedule for Monday 20th December will probably be:
6.00 GMTV
9.25 Trisha
10.30 TBA
12.30 ITV News
13.00 Today with Des and Mel
14.00 TBA
15.15 CITV
17.00 Paul O'Grady
18.00 London Tonight
18.30.... you get the general idea!
I don't know why they bother with thes listings in the tabloids, they might as well just due a feature of having a list of programmes from the various channels' press releases and not bother actually saying what time they will be on
Well that's going to be so, er, different to Strictly Come Dancing On Ice which will be on BBC ONE...
True. But I do like the idea of having to train up the celebrities, where as I presume that Strictly Come Dancing...On Ice will be a one off.
I know both broadcasters nick the others ideas, but surely it's strange for ITV to announce this the day after the BBC announce Strictly Come Dancing...On Ice.
Had to buy the Mirror this morning as the Sun only had a selection of programmes for the Christmas period... Current listings suggest that Eastenders, Corrie, Home and Away and Emmerdale will all be on on Christmas Day - a SATURDAY!!
And Channel 4 have relegated The Snowman to Christmas Day yet again from its traditional Christmas Eve slot, and Countdown will be on at 3:35 for the traditional Christmas Eve final....
