I had considered that but it's maybe a little early in the day for Malone to be influencing events before the acquisition is complete. No doubt further consolidation will follow, subject to BBC approval. Food Network and Good Food also seem to be competing for the same audience for much of the time.

Re: Eden low viewing figures. I don't think that their daft renaming excercise will have helped Eden to reach its target audience either. If I was interested in gardening and quickly going through the EPG I don't think that Eden would be enough of a prompt to make me connect the channel with the subject matter.
