I didn't do too bad last year though I did play it safe in hindsight.
Quote:- BBC1 refreshes it's presentation successfully - but not until later in the year
- GMB tweaks it's opening - again
- Ruth and Eamonn quit This Morning after the summer
- Steph's Packed Lunch is Packed Off
- Jon Snow retires, and C4 News revamped as a truly double headed affair
- C5/Viacom streamline their channels, push into the streaming market (think a Paramount branded service is being rolled out, although IMO using All Access makes more sense as it can be adjusted locally - i.e. 5 All Access)
- Sky News revamps it's schedule and TOTH graphics.
Avoiding predicting what we know to be the case (so new BBC1 idents, new look BBC News etc.) I'll say:
- ITV News to get a new look
- New idents for C4 ahead of their 40th
- C4 to launch "4 Decades" channel effectively replacing 4Music for archive C4 programming
- C5 to poach or revive another series established elsewhere.
- BBC News to have 1999 style rejig of network bulletin presenters. Huw remains at 10pm, Clive Myrie deputises, Mishal Husain takes over the Six.
- ITV to update ITV2/3/4 branding. Retain ITV Creates idents for main channel.
- Waterloo Road to be axed
- Strictly will mark it's 20th series and 100 years of the BBC with an All Stars series, running Sept-Nov due to the World Cup with the final in Blackpool
- Similarly think I'm a Celeb might return to the "jungle" with an All Star series itself to mark 20 years of the show. At the very least they'll be a twist to put Jordan North in the jungle environment.
