2.45pm SyFy to become Sky Sci-Fi next month

SyFy – the destination for fans of science fiction and fantasy genres – will be rebranding to Sky Sci-Fi on Tuesday 26th July.

Sky says the revamped channel will remain the home of sci-fi classics but will also offer a range of new shows, including SurrealEstate and Day of the Dead.

Zai Bennett, managing director, content Sky UK and Ireland, said: “From space adventures to futuristic fantasy, Sky Sci-Fi will be joining the host of genre-led brands launched in the past year and will offer a new universe for viewers to explore. The re-brand will make it easier for people to find exactly what they want, with fan favourites, a multitude of on demand content, as well as a burst of exciting new shows for sci-fi fanatics”.

7pm BBC Look East uses mocked up BBC Radio 1 logo for inset graphic

Regular readers will know how much we frown upon the use of unapproved/mocked up logos on air.

An inset graphic used on tonight’s edition of BBC Look East (Cambridge) is possibly one of the worst examples of this type of thing that we’ve seen.

It would seem that a graphic designer created a mocked up version of the current BBC Radio 1 logo – and animated it. The result: awful.

Thanks @slapehtfonaf1on for flagging.

12.20pm Forces TV to close at the end of the month

Forces TV has announced that it is closing on 30th June. The channel’s final day of broadcasting coincides with the closure of the COM7 multiplex on Freeview.

“Forces TV bids you farewell on 30 June. We’ve loved bringing you all your favourite classics. @ThisIsBFBS is a military charity and media organisation, now focusing our resources on our military news and stories on our @ForcesNews digital platforms. Thank you for your support.”

Friday 17th June

11.05am EBU to ask the BBC to host next year’s Eurovision Song Contest

The EBU has issued a statement regarding the hosting of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.

Following a full assessment and feasibility study, the ESC’s governing board has concluded that next year’s Contest cannot be hosted in Ukraine.

Given the invasion of the country by Russian forces, it was not possible to achieve the security and operational guarantees required for a broadcaster to host.

The EBU went on to confirm that it would be entering into hosting discussions with the BBC, given that the UK was the runner-up in this year’s Contest.

Within minutes of the EBU statement, the BBC issued a short response: “We have seen the announcement from the EBU. Clearly these aren’t a set of circumstances that anyone would want. Following their decision, we will of course discuss the BBC hosting the Eurovision Song Contest.”
