Channel 4 either closes or rebrands the Box channels, likely the latter into "4Music [genre]".
E4 rebrands into 4Reality, while E4 Extra becomes E4, with promos announcing the move. Viewers complain as the new E4 isn't in HD anymore and the demand results in Channel 4 inevitably caving in and replacing a 4Music genre channel that gets less viewers and is automated (likely Kerrang/4Music Rock).
E4 Extra goes 24/7, abandoning Teleshopping.
Sky launches Sky Kids channel on 617 (or replaces BabyTV on 609), WBD attempt to weasel out of the Sky contract by making coverage agreements and/or forcing HBO Max [tentative] to be exclusive to Sky platforms. Sky loses the rights to The Simpsons, but keeps Sky Showcase running and/or is replaced by Sky Max on 106. Sky finally sell shares in Comedy Central, leaving all of Paramount UK's assets fully owned by Paramount.
ITV finally rebrand CITV, after woefully still using the 2013 logo for nearly a decade. An "ITV Sport" channel is launched on ITVX, mainly just repeats of sport highlights and a possible surplus feed for extra coverage.
BBC News merges with World News, however technical faults and breaking news for UK viewers means a lot of programming gets inevitably skipped and rescheduled. CBBC finally adopts the Chameleon style, while CBeebies controversially gets rid of the bugs (or incorporates bugs into live-action scenarios). BBC Three commissions more experimental programming a la 2013, while BBC Four airs more indie and ethnical films.
Channel 5 enters the kids market with their own 5Shake channel, likely replacing the slot of the former Smithsonian Channel. Free to air programming of Milkshake, Nick jr and Nickelodeon favourites airs on this channel, unlikely the channel will replicate the format of 10Shake, as airing adult programming on kids channels is forbidden under Ofcom's guidelines. 5ACTION incorporates more movie premieres, heavily pushing Paramount+. My5 gets an all needed refresh, with new UI and 1080p support and possibility of a new Channel 5 logo?
