30 years ago today the first of the UKTV channels, GOLD was launched, originally it was a joint venture between the BBC, Cox Enterprises and outgoing ITV franchisee Thames Television, it launched at 7pm and the first programme was Just Good Friends

Media Guardian is reporting that the BBC is set to announce sweeping cuts to local radio in England with an increase in networked programming:

I recall one proposal many years ago was to merge local radio with Five Live.

Challenge have recently acquired Scrapheap Challenge, Dickinson’s Real Deal, and The Family Chase. As well as having tested out the first series of Cash Trapped and 5 Gold Rings on the channel- after a few years of little to no new content,  it looks like more effort and care is being put into it again- it’s lovely. Is it what it was when Sky first acquired it? No, but it’s nice that they’re airing something different again.

1st November marks S4C's fortieth anniversary as Britain's first fourth channel. Currently, selected trailers incorporate a brief animation that transitions between S4C and 40.

In this thread, we talk about any recent interesting closing logo sightings on TV (or streaming/home media if you want, but preferably TV). For any newbies, this is basically the logos you may see at the end of TV shows or beginning of movies. The logos I mainly like to find are logos that are rarer to find on TV, but you can showcase anything interesting logo wise here.

I've been checking Sharpe and Catherine Cookson over on Drama to see if I can find any goodies. I've been seeing the original Central logos kept on Sharpe followed by either the 2009 or 2013 ITV Studios Global Entertainment logos which is actually generous of them considering how much they love to plaster logos. Catherine Cookson has been a mixture of 2013 ITV logos and intact Tyne Tees logos (unfortunately, ITV appears more). Tyne Tees logos haven't been sighted on British TV stations for years so the Tyne Tees logo I found was an amazing one. Here's a picture below, this came from Tilly Trotter.


ADMIN EDIT: please avoid repetition by consulting the TVLF version of this thread before posting here.

ViaPlay launches across the three channels on 1 November.

There is some free to view programming on Premier Sports 2 / ViaPlay Sports 2 next week if those who don't subscribe want to see the old and new presentation.

Monday (PS2): 12:45 and 18:45 Snooker Champions League (T20 Cricket on FreeSports)
Tuesday (VS2): 12:15 and 16:00 T20 Cricket CSA Challenge (Snooker on Viaplay Xtra)
Wednesday (VS2): 12:15 and 16:00 T20 Cricket CSA Challenge (Snooker on Viaplay Xtra)

Something looks to be happening this Halloween (this Monday at time of writing) on Radio 1.

8am to 10:30am is blocked out with a generic "Radio 1 Halloween" programme. Could this be another escape room/hide & seek/jigsaw situation on the cards?

The Sun is reporting that Deal Or No Deal is set to return to the television screens after 8 years away with ITV broadcasting it and Stephen Mulhern being approached to present it.
