Nobody talked about TV Nova's rebrand? Not even Checkerboard? The way they replaced the sliced circle with two interconnected rings you can draw in one sitting is pure genius.

It seems very inspired by the TF1 rebrand in many bumpers

Originality is often not the forte, these days

Meh, I've seen definitely better, although I like the circle thing

This is not to say it isn't good, but no "genius", for me at least

Truly the Sony Crime of Narrative. Let's see.
- For making the channel, they closed something that shouldn't have? Check! (Sony Channel for Sony Crime, Tiny Pop for Great! Real)
- Aired true crime content? Check! (I presume Great! Real aired that too, in the middle of their programmes)
- Lasted short? Check! (Okay, Sony Crime was around for two years, but man, when the UK Sony channels got the rebrand in 2019, Sony Crime was skipped)

You made me remind that Nova's Breakfast logo reminds me of the current Public TV of Ukraine logo, it's in the same position. I don't remember what channel or division has it in yellow, think it's Kultura, which due to United News Marathon has been absorbing First's content

That's it? Just 5 months since launch and it's closing down but at least, they're bring back Tiny Pop because probably backlash from parents or something.

Imagine if this happened with other channels

How Sky Italia appears on very old Sky HD receivers (the original ones without recording functionality)

How Sky UK appears these days on even older Sky SD digiboxes

Here in Italy the SD channels I think are completely switched off

Here in Italy the SD channels I think are completely switched off... Unless you're a kids channel not named Cartoon Network or Boomerang, MTV Music (that is incredibly useless those days), Comedy Central or CNN. HD only on Sky Glass and Stream.

Yeah but even these are switched to DVB-S2, making it impossible for SD receivers to get them

Meanwhile in RO we have lots of SD channels that continue to broadcast. Not gonna say we also have analogue cable.

Here In Türkiye, The First SD Switchoff Was Happened On The D-Smart Platform In December 2015.
This Was Not Affected The SD Version Of Kanal D and TV2 (now Teve2) Respectively.
And Also Not Affected To D-Smart HD and HD+ Receivers.

Firstly, In Mid-December, SD Version Of Smart Spor and Smart Spor 2 Went From Encrypted To Free-To-Air.

Days After, All D-Smart SD Channels (Excluding Erotica TV & Penthouse) Went To Free-To-Air For One Final Time,
Before They Finally Ended Their SD Broadcast At Midnight On 1st Of January 2016.

Afterwards, All D-Smart Channels Has Upgraded From SD To Full HD Only.
In Addition, T.A.Y. TV (Horse Racing Channel) Was Also Switched To Full HD To Avoid Shutdown.
However, The Last Existing Channel On SD Called Luli, And It Was Ceased Broadcasting On The Same Day.

And Here Is The Channel Surfing Of An Satellite Receiver,
Including D-Smart SD Channels Went To FTA Before Switching Off.

Few Years Later, Kablo TV and Digiturk Has Stopped SD Broadcasts And Fully Switched To HD Format.

There's speculation going around that MC Vision similar to HD Austria could fold under the corporate name Canal+. Where does that leave MultiChoice I wonder seeing as they also services in the region

Could MultiChoice Undergo A Name Change As Speculated With Canal+'s MC Vision?

Also, Tabii Has Switched To Paywall System To Become As An Paid Streaming Service.
However, The Free Version Remains And Includes All TRT TV Channels And Contents For Free.

The Reason For Switching To Pay Version Because UEFA CL/EL/ECL Is Coming Up In September.
With Turkish Teams Will Be Airing Live In Free-To-Air On TRT 1 And In Some Cases, TRT Spor.
