Or will these two channels simply air in downtime overnight?
If not, it will be a huge waste of spectrum.
More good information from a516.
Sounds vague. And if Ch5+24 is anything to go by it'll be full of teleshopping anyway. It's a shame, I was hoping for Movies4Men.
Isn't that pretty much what Movie Mix was doing at the start? I wonder if this is a possible holding channel while they build up the network before becoming something better in a year to 18 months type once more people can get them. In the interim they can get a bit of income from the inevitable Teleshopping?
Whilst I'm not overly impressed by the arrival of yet another shopping channel, another entertainment channel of some sort would be most welcome. I'd like to think that we might be getting something along the lines of True Drama or indeed Movies4Men but we'll just have to wait and see on that one.
Thanks also to tomee for highlighting this new development.
It could be, but on satellite Bonanza has always been used as a placeholder until they could sell the slot to another channel. My guess would be they're doing the same on DTT..

Shopping from 7am to 11am then it becomes Bonanza Bonanza.
That would not fit in with the other channel still being on test on LCN 791. It looks like the arrangement is similar to ITV1 where the shopping programming is not treated as a separate channel with its own LCN.

I didn't even have a chance to check out the old episodes of Dragnet etc. Some are archived according to this article.
So I now understand. A pity it wasn't given better publicity.
