CBS branding to be dropped from UK channels.

[Keith]

Legend makes more sense than Horror really, as there is a large amount of sci fi on the channel.

The Xtra channels are just bizarre - Reality Xtra will have plenty of drama (though CBS Drama equally had plenty of reality!) and Horror Xtra has no parent channel for it to be an extra of.

I wonder if this will be a two stage process with the Xtras getting new brands later.

Reading today's announcement it looks like some of the Xtra channels are set to move from COM7 to the Local Mux next week. Given the limited number of Freeview users who'll then be able to watch it maybe that's why they've given it an 'Xtra' name, rather than a completely separate one.
