Rupert Murdoch's News UK to launch a new television channel called TalkTV:

www.theguardian.com

Piers Morgan hired to launch Rupert Murdoch TV station talkTV

News UK TV station will be rival to floundering GB News and go on air early 2022
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

"The company is insistent talkTV will not be a traditional rolling news channel and will also feature entertainment, documentaries and sports programming"

Sounds like a more polished version of GB News...
 
Apparently talkTV is testing on 11386H 29500 with the label 53710, though just showing HD colour bars ATM.

On 11426V 29500 that are also colour bars + time, tagged 52590. Allegedly this is for NBC News Now?
 
A bit strange if NBC News Now launches on Sky via satellite. It's only streaming in the US. They have the NBC LX network which is news/documentaries which would make a bit more sense.
 
Phone hack denier Morgan on UK TV again.

Can't wait ! :rolleyes:
 
Started a new thread for NBC News Now, moved a few posts

NBC News Now

NBC News Now is indeed testing on 11386H, label 53710. Currently airing Dateline. Showing American ads, which is very unusual for a service available in Europe by satellite.

11426 V 29500 id = 52590 now showing talkRADIO TV
 
The last few days I've noticed on an evening it changes to just showing the talkRADIO promo loop. I guess this is where the Piers Morgan type prime time television shows will be inserted.
 
The EPG data is now active. The glitching is still happening and seems to be occurring more often. The Youtube live stream also wasn't completely stable when I checked.
 
Now showing a short promo loop:

I see LiveU and fibre but unsurprisingly no option for satellite on the video source options.

Yes though the transponders in the post you quoted are the wrong way round, TalkTV is on 11426V. At the time both were showing colour bars and the site I sourced the information from guessed wrong :-doh
 
There are still occasional glitches on the video. Also the colour scheme and graphics look a bit mid-nineties daytime television to me :confused:

Someone must have a sense of humour as during the promo loop someone paces off the Piers Morgan set, reminds me of that infamous GMB moment..
