Intriguing... a rainbow bar with an arrow that indicates time of day!

I don't know if any other world broadcaster has ever done that before, but... I like it.

RE: RTLuk - COMPANY NEWS
That's exactly what I had in mind when coming up with the graphics. If selected and we get a stake in the operation, we'd be willing to carry Classix in America as a digital subchannel on our local stations' HD broadcast signals.

We'd do one of three things: air the feed live, but run identical in-house graphics noting the correct air times in the States (Scarecrow & Mrs. King, for instance, would run at 7pm Eastern, 6pm Central, etc). We could also tape delay the feed to air at the advertised time (the show would air at midnight Eastern, 11 central), or each time zone would get its own tape delayed feed (midnight Eastern, midnight Central, etc).

Get ready for a change.

At the moment Adam Frost (aka Frostat1) seems to be branding his company (whatever it's latest name is) as a division of RTLuk. Is this the case, as it was never cleared by the network?

So now effectively frostat is a kind of 'sock puppet' (sorry if I could have used a better word) of RTL.

And I always thought the point of this "sixth channel" simulation game was not to build up mini empires...

RE: RTLuk - COMPANY NEWS
To be fair, RTL/YBTF isn't exactly the first company to be involved in such a corporate change like this.
It could see some improvments to both parties, but I'd say its very unlikely this could ever mount to an "empire".
