I wonder if at some point, Eden will close and it's programming moved to Yesterday.

I sincerely hope not. Eden is one of the better channels with lots of natural history shows worth seeing again. I like the shows on Yesterday too, but the SD-only picture quality is dire.

it'll probably morph into Yesterday with yesterday having a name change to something like "knowledge"

Yesterday have been showing BBC Natural History programming for many years now, so there's no moving required.

Far too logical for UKTV. Although they could change the name to K or, maybe, Kevin...

I think MB is thinking because they are being removed on Sky on that day, the same will be the case on VM.

I wouldn't be surprised if VM remove them tomorrow. Not that it makes a jot of difference.

The closures of the red button channels is what’s coming, not that it’s of much interest, given that Wimbledon is now over.

The HD swapout on Ch104 for those of us not in London area can't be far off, VM unlikely to be far behind.

Base on "How to launch a HD Channel on Sky" rules - the new tests may launch anytime from August 22nd to September 5th.

That was during the one o’clock news. Only affected the BBC1 broadcast as the news channel simulcast was Ok.
