Hope your treatment is going well x

Oh it’s going spectacularly well. :rofl:

Love Island on the other hand, is riddled with nasty diseases and needs to be put down like the poor dog it is.

Getting back to the NBCU split… I wonder if the long-term plan might be to build a sort of global ‘network’ of NBC affiliates — i.e. ITV (assuming the BSkyB transaction closes), and then possibly SCM’s TV arm joining NBCU’s existing international assets.

In New York, WWOR becomes Fox 5+, after being branded as channel 9 for decades:

The + is the new symbol Fox is rolling out to their duopolies this year, emphasising the Fox ownership and cleaning up the mess of MyTV and the different +/Plus/Xtra branding in various places.

Dumb, though, to opt for the numeral when your sister station isn’t that far down the EPG.
