It can have many shows
its all being set up soon.

Many Small Companies are behind it.


"Hunt hopes the new UK-wide channel will act as a "spine", probably with national programming mixed with local content from around the country to make it attractive to advertisers and therefore commercially viable."

Should be better than Channel 5 anyway.

Very American, I like.

[Patrick]

I have put together a list of shows, some new and some not new, that they can show in order to be the best channel The UK has EVER seen.

The Video Game Show
EastEnders | Walford's Gangsters
The Real World
Big Brother 12
1000 Ways To Die
A Shot At Love With Caroline Flack
The Real Hustle
Porn Through The Night


Sorted.

[Patrick]

Oh he's boring.

I thought he'd be a legend and take on Big Brother and all that but he's just being a dull bastard who wants to air like the local Binco session or something.

Fails.

[Patrick]

This is the type of channel that deserves to have Doctors thrown at them.

[Scarlett.]

A sixth public service channel would have to be different from the others, Channel 6 sounds like it would be

No 105 is Ch5 on Sky.



Ch6 is soon

[Jordan.]

Channel 6 = Sky.

Oh that reminds me of this weird free channel on Sky in africa somewhere, there was like a gang of girls all living in a house and they were live on the tv channel 24/7, I didn't understand their language but I watched it a few times. I wish I could remember what it was called.

[Scarlett.]

The PSBs for each channel are

BBC One - Filled with programming for pretty much everyone
BBC Two - Documentary and different programming
ITV1 - Same as BBC One, must compete with BBC One
Channel 4 - Experimental channel, must keep trying to push the envelope
Channel 5 - No ones even sure anymore xD

[Kerry]

Still remember C5's launch. What a kerfuffle that was! Retuning everyones TV's across the land, it was so mad!

Then everyone was so excited about this new free channel which promised alsorts. Fuss for nowt

Its on its way.

[arista]

"Channel 6, the national network set up to deliver local TV across the UK, today outlined what it claims will be the biggest boost to the independent TV production sector in 30 years.

CEO Horwood promised that Channel 6 would not be a "mishmash" of old US series and claimed that if the station gets the national contract it will deliver "the biggest boost to the UK's independent production sector since the launch of Channel 4 a generation ago".

Bold claims from CEO Richard Norwood.
Its still in the early stages.

It could do
as that would be connected to Local News
but slots are still being worked out
early to rule it in or out.

[arista]

Under our plan, which has been fully costed by industry experts, we will launch the national network and around 9 local affiliates on Freeview, cable and satellite in 2013, building to 39 by 2017.
