Re: new uk tv channels:will we get tham ?
 

You will get these from the day they launch, 8th March:
UKTV Documentary will replace UK Horizons
UKTV People will replace UK Horizons +1
We won't be able to carry UKTV Documentary +1 at this time.

For analogue, UK Horizons (where it's available) will be replaced by UKTV Documentary, broadcasting the same hours as it does now.

wont make any difference though will it , it just gives them more oppurtunity to show repeats :(

Yes its just gonna be the same as the UKGold/UKG2 rebrand. Showing the same programs but at different times to the original channel.
I do hope they keep documentaries and reality programs seperate, ie programs like Clampers should be on the People channel and not somehow creep over to the docu channel

Re: new uk tv channels:will we get them ?
 

aww I like UK Horizons. What channel with Louis Theroux be on now I wonder, uk documentary I imagine. Might actually end up being quite good I guess.

Its very good to see Sam B over here posting :)

Re: new uk tv channels:will we get them ?
 

Ahh see now thats where problems are gonna come.
I think Louis Theroux should be on UK People as its more a reality type show than a documentary.
Programs like Horizon and Equinox are documentarys.

Hi Sam,

What are the causes for "UKTV Documentary +1" not being carried at this time? Is it lack of space on the digital network or contractual reasons with UKTV? or something else?

Any answers greatly appreciated.

Hi

It's mainly a bandwidth limitation, as UKTV had only a certain amount alloted. That's not to say we won't add it at a later date, but just not at this time.

Cheers
Sam

I think people woudl prefer a new channel rather than a timeshift of an existing one. I kinda think these +1 channels are a bit of a waste of time and I'd rather that bandwidth went to new channels rather than a delayed version of an existing one.

Good, but surprised, that the channels are actually on cable.
