Has no one spotted the real change on ETV today ?

Whilst everyone talked about the demise of E+ or the return of a former model, the real change was happening in front of your eyes.

ETV changed it name to CTV. That's Continious TV to you all.

The shows of both E1 and E2 now merge straight into one another to a continious broadcast.

Guess who are working even longer hours ?

Yesterday I was "outside", so I'm curious about "changing the guard" in studio.

ETV+ "no signal" for my receiver.

@DB, no ads on ETV2 but what little I saw of E+ today only ads, as you write all shows are running back to back, no more 20 minutes break for double shifts. The demise of the live show on E+ has freed up 6 models for other shows.

Now having read the other posts today it would seem that my question has been answered.

the end of the new service
the end of E+ as I know it
the end of the transponder lease ???        

all three are valid, if this is so then there will be no extra bandwidth available, and as per usual when ETV techs change something/anything the remaining signals suffer, ETV2 right now is losing the signal completely for short periods.

There is another one as well.

Cannot comment about Hotbird but on Astra the ads have stopped.

(must not say that too loud. more a case of tempting fate)

Aaah, I just saw it (16:30), they just switched over to the evening show girls without any break on ETV.

You know what...I´m not sure I like it....I actually like a little break between shows, that makes each new show more defined so to speak. Maybe it´s just me.
