Woodface: It has gone though Google Translator API, but only once. It's 100% the same thing that app uses, but with direct data transfer.

SStevensOnln1: I'm not confused, thank you. Com6 broadcasts to 19.8m UK homes from 80 masts (74% of the population)!
You might have thought that after 19 years, give or take a month, of doing this I might have the hang of it now!

Chris.SE: I've read though all the stuff they put out in the Press Gazette and so forth and I can't recall seeing anyone listed as doing investigative journalism. Who are you thinking of?
GB News launch date revealed + latest signings and schedule information doesn't seem to mention it. Where have you seen about investigative journalism?
The reason that people care about EPG position is that more people watch stuff the lower the number. Sky doesn't care because it has never cared about viewers, only SUBSCRIBERS.

Chris.SE: I don't recall denouncing this channel, just pointing out it's underfunded.
I think if you check what most people mean by investigative journalism they don't mean "an prepared interviewer", they mean "a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic of interest, such as serious crimes, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. An investigative journalist may spend months or years researching and preparing a report. "
Examples of this on British TV are: Dispatches on Channel 4, The Cook Report on ITV, Panorama on BBC One.
In the newspapers the top example was Insight at the Sunday Times.

Iain Girling: Which is my point entirety! It turned out that people didn't watch The Money Channel or the ITV News Channel either. In television the amount of revenue from advertising isn't earned in portion to the BARB numbers, you need either BIG audiences like ITV, or high-income ones like Sky Arts. Commercial channels with small numbers of low-income viewers don't last long.
Mike: You pressed return at the end of each line, therefore your post looks like it does. My policy of 19 years now, is to never edit posts once made.

Chris.SE: I'm sorry, but when there is a long-standing definition of a phrase, I'm going to go with that rather than making it up.
As for "hungry for analysis, explanation and a range of viewpoints" doesn't actually mean that these are going to get deal with as they're based in Paddington in London which is even closer to the Westminster Village than Isleworth (Sky) or Salford (BBC).
They've not, as far as anyone can tell, actually employed journalists to go around "Great Britain" and gather any viewpoints. They "range of viewpoints" they will serve will be those of billionaires in Saudi and America, because one should, in these situations "follow the money".
Unless you know differently. I am always open to evidence of a newsgathering organization being built. Even photos of trucks with logos on them, that kind of thing.

Barry Kew: It's still 55 for 5SELECT.
BBC Four (SD) is on 24 in Scotland. In other parts of the UK, BBC Four is in 9, where as that's BBC Scotland in Scotland.
Not all transmitters carry the COM4 multiplex which carries 5SELECT, only the main ones, whereas all transmitters carry the BBC channels.
