Jumping the gun by a loooong shot here, but thinking about how flexible the blocks are - i’m excited to see how they might play with them in the graphics if 60 Seconds comes back next year. The 2007 rebrand had the liquid tube as the timer and the 2016 rebrand had the ! blocks acting as the timer.

I know, It’s really silly to get excited about it because of hypothetical it is - but it’s just a nice reminder of how much more of the roll out we might be looking forward to.

The BBC THREE dog on ONE Northern Ireland is so faint it's barely visible! You really have to look for it.

Networks THREE dog is the same brightness as FOUR.

Maybe all other BBC channels should follow suit with NI?

Surely having the DOG barely visible defeats the point of even having one at all?
<t>Uh oh.</t>
It may be more transparent, but was it still the same size? It would look a lot better stacked as well. I wonder if BBC NI tried that instead of keeping it horizontal?

The THREE dog in NI is the exact size and shape as the Network THREE dog, just more faint.
By being less clearly visible the large size of it did not matter as much tbh.
I suspect if FOUR also went with a more translucent dog, no one would be too bothered by the size of it!

Wasn't sure where to put this but Digital UK have approved a reshuffle on Freeview if BBC Three gets the final all clear. It'll end up on channel 23 nationally as it stands

Hang on it won’t resume channel 7! Is anyone even going to notice it up on channel 23?

It will not resume on channel 7 because Channel 4 complained about it, and they requested the returned BBC Three to be on channel 24, and given it can't launch on channel 24, because it's occupied by BBC Four in Scotland, it's going to be on channel 23 instead

Ideally you could switch up BBC Three and BBC Four outside of Scotland but I bet there will be complaints about that as well, particularly Channel 4. They gained a lot from the original channel's closure in 2016 and are no doubt bracing for a few viewers to jump ship.

23 is still a decent slot to launch in regardless
Move BBC Four to 24 so it aligns across the UK then give their slot to BBC Three, seems odd that Three would come after Four on the EPG.

Anyone kicking off about BBC Four moving should be reminded that Three will have more new content than Four as Four is moving to repeat/arts content.
Inevitable 3 and 4 will swap, but was also inevitable this would happen despite OFCOM refusing to factor it in to the reshuffle last year.

Does mean C4 get 47 back so hopefully they'll swap 4Seven and Film4+1 (to 49).

My question is, where will they put the HD version on Freeview? 105 is now occupied by Channel 5 HD.

109 and 110 are still free from the C4 stations closing so it won't be too big an issue, and the BBC can reshuffle their channels from 106-109 if needs be. Indeed will BBC Scotland HD even remain when BBC3 returns - I suspect BBC3 might get it's slot back and BBC4 HD sacrificed instead, or BBC News HD in the evenings.
@Brekkietweets
Sharing with BBC News HD might be problematic because COM7 has to be gone by June 2022. I think it's quite a bit more likely for BBC Scotland HD to be dropped and Three HD sharing with CBBC HD on PSB3 throughout all of the UK. However, the BBC might have Three SD only in Scotland.
