One thing that does make me think twice about the finality of the post-merger schedule is that Focus on Africa shouldn't be on at 17:30 in April. Historically it has always shifted (to 18:30 UKT) once the clocks change to ensure that it remains at the same time in Africa all year round (only one African country uses DST). Though, of course, Asia-oriented programming also used to timeshift for the same reason, but they stopped doing that in 2016 - maybe they've stopped doing that with Focus too, though isn't it tied up in other rebroadcasting contracts?
