I maintain its a ploy to avoid having to do AD by creating a new channel who
can be excused providing it for a time. On the other hand I see Viva is now
the highest channel number and is on for fewer hours than before.

Community channel is gone and there are some dummy plus 1s up in the higher
double numbers as well.

I did have the unfortunate treat of looking at Spikes program guide. well
why did they bother to put it on 31, they surely could have put it on 21 and
left usa on 31. Seems an odd decision to me. is there an explanation of the
name Spike, is this spike as in point to impale oneself on, or Spike as in
Milligan, or some other form of spike as yet not understood?

Followed by an almost immediate loss of interest.


A channel called Lowest Common Denominator should do well.
(LCD TV?)

I think Mush would be a good name for a channel.

Mind you Dave is a silly name as well, why Dave? Who is he?
And why no female named ones.

Tracey might be good.

Orange was a daft name for a phone company but look at it now!

Mind you Rabbit didn't last long, did it?
