Who remembers the 5 minute long programme "Weekend Outlook", broadcast on BBC2 on a Friday afternoon and evening, during OU transmission terms? It previewed some of the weekend Open University programmes coming up, and I think was a recognition that non students watched the programmes as well. It was renamed Jump Cuts, for a bit, before becoming Weekend Outlook again. Anyone remember it, and when did it end?
Well, this is interesting. No mention of moving the existing stations to DAB+, just that there is enough room on their multiplexes to launch these spin-off stations on DAB+. Can't imagine the commercial companies will be too happy, particularly the proposal for the Radio 2 spin-off, despite it being a take on what they've been doing for years with various niche spin-offs of all their brands

ESPN FOX And WB combine to create Super Streamer sports service. After decades of fierce competition. The major sports providers in the US are coming together to create a new single sports streaming service.
The service is scheduled to launch in the fall and will include broadcasts from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and other professional sports leagues, according to a joint news release by the three companies.
NYTIMES: says this is a bid to recapture viewers that have abandoned cable tv.
Seems to me like this is going to drive cordcutting even faster. Im sure paytv providers like Xfinity,Spectrum etc are quaking right now. They tradtionally were able to keep customer because of sports. This is going to drive more and more people to abandon expensive pay-tv packages. Interestingly NBC and CBS is not part of this deal. Likely because Xfinity is owned by Comcast. Of course ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney.
This is a major change in the American tv landscape. They might have major implications in the years to come. Bears watching

Oneness is not a good set of idents, but at least the worst they get is boring.
These on the other hand?

Not only are they just ripped straight from an ident from 2 years prior, but the animation is really cheap looking, the music and sound are a boring drone and irritating scratches and the colour scheme is incredibly garish.
What do you think?
Red Nose Day will be on the 15th March with Sir Lenny Henry confirming it'll be the final time he hosts. That really does feel like an end of an era.

Tiny Pop is the latest kids channel to go online only, ending Freeview, Satellite and Cable transmissions from March.
Although this is the trend a bit of a surprise IMO considering the Pop kids channels punch above their weight, Narrative as a whole has grown market share and Pop Max hasn't long launched on Freeview. The kids channels aimed at younger kids tend to do better too.

Odd Sky Sports doesn't have its own thread so thought I'd put this here.
No surprise but Sky Sports Tennis will launch on 11 Feb. Oddly though it launches on 408 then moves to 407 on 13 Feb. Will be included for those who just subscribe to Arena/Action, which will be used for overspill.
Gigi Salmon is the lead presenter with Jonathan Overend the lead commentator. Tim Henman and Laura Robson lead the punditry.
