TV Predictions for this year

[EeveeSparkles]

As you may have seen on TV Forum, Television predictions were quite a tradition since 2018.
So why not continue them over on here?

Here's mine:
Paramount Network, Pop Max, 4Music or 5Select will either close or rebrand.
Oneness will be phased out by the end of the year.
(Doubt it, but hopefully) Freeview will bring back Digit Al as their mascot.
BBC Four will launch a new set of idents.

How about you?

As a general rule, "This year's TV predictions" threads tend to happen at the beginning of the year or the very end of the previous. Otherwise its a "back half of 2021 predictions" thread which sounds clumsy. You might have done better to wait until December 2021 for a 2022 predictions thread.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, here's this year's thread: https://tvforum.uk/tvhome/tv-channel-pre...2021-46417

Just re-read some of mine. Well, at least I was right about Blankety Blank and Morning Live, but some of my others were a bit wide of the mark

I've just read them. I'm surprised no one had said Anne Robinson as the new Countdown host (Probably because everyone was expecting Colin Murray to take over)

It’s easier to predict a refresh/rebrand of Good Morning Britain than it is the weather

Yeah but this was done on this site due to the closing of TVF. This is TVLF, also I know we are halfway through 2021 but some predictions for tv are that sky relaunch sky three, bbc will have another massive breakdown and Great Britain News won't launch on the 13th of June.

My predictions are...
Paramount Network will either cease broadcasting or be renamed under the Channel 5 umbrella.
Regional News BBC One HD will be finally released before this time next year.
Freeview channels 24 to 54 will move down back to their original spots. (Channel 4 will be pleased.)
The BBC will (hopefully) rebrand all their logos to Sans-Serif Reith.
And... Sky either renames, rebrands, or shuts one of their channels.

I suspect the launch of Paramount+ in the UK will be the opportunity to phase out the Paramount network.
