Network 10 in Australia recieved a brand refresh coinciding with the debut of 10 News+. 10 Bold Drama changed to 10 Drama, 10 Peach Comedy changed to 10 Comedy, and the Network 10 logo no longer has a circle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0R2DEGX2eM&t=105s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okD6JRi5U4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqP2XJIUcI4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBGcMTXFrYM

This is interesting....

Some recent news...... SVT's channels got a refresh: The German version of British satellite provider Sky is to be acquired by the RTL Group. https://company.rtl.com/export/sites/rtlunited/en/media/overview/press-releases-and-news/rtl-group-to-acquire-sky-deutschland/

DPG Media from Belgium has been approved by the Authority for Consumers & Markets to take over RTL Nederland, as announced on the Noedoleckin YouTube channel. https://www.acm.nl/nl/publicaties/acm-stelt-strenge-voorwaarden-aan-overname-rtl-nederland-door-dpg-media

France 4 has refreshed its on screen identity.

Spain.

I am interested to see what happens with this station. I pray to God that this station isn't sold to Morgan Murphy and converted into a satellite station. Last time this happened (with WBKB in Alpena) the station's news operation was shut down and replaced with the newscasts from Traverse City, so I'm hoping MM doesn't shut this station's news down and replace it with another station's local news.

Yesterday evening, Veo7 relaunched on DTT, replacing Gol Play.

This evening, Stod 2 and the Icelandic Vodafone have completed a merger, and are now branding themselves as Syn. This rebrand is about to be the worst rebrand of 2025 ever. https://www.mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2025/06/12/vodafone_og_stod_2_verda_syn/

This might be the end of PBS and NPR as we know it

Today, a Citytv affiliate in Medicine Hat, Alberta announced it is shuttering all of its operations, effective immediately. The station's owner, Pattison Media, explanied that the cause of the closure was due to financial reasons and that they've "explored every possible avenue to sustain operations". This is the third local Canadian station to shut down after CITL/CKSA in Lloydminster. Their last newscast: The press release announcing the shutdown: https://hatnewstoday.ca/2025/06/03/pattison-media-makes-difficult-decision-to-close-chat-tv-in-medicine-hat/

About time.

Oh boy...

This rebrand is on track to look good.

I can't wait until WXYZ gets this package

This'll be cool.

I don't like this at all

As of right now: The main VOA station is on music loop RFE (some variants) are on ID loop (same with VOA TV stations) VOA English TV is looping a patriotic promo VOA Burmese has been shut down entirely

This afternoon I was notified that the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe stations have been closed down and all the staff working there have been put on leave. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvge4l109r3o This comes about a couple months after Kari Lake was nominated to head the VOA.

This is a much better rebrand for the CBS O&Os compared to what they have currently.

France 2‘s news program, “20 heures” will be extended to a full hour from 9 September. https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2024/09/04/le-jt-de-20-heures-france-2-va-etre-allonge-pour-durer-une-heure_6303950_3246.html

The text is a bit small for my liking.

WHGB-AM1400 (and its two translators) are reverting back to being an affiliate of ESPN Radio. The station was formerly known as Sports Radio Harrisburg and will start simulcasting all national ESPN Radio programming, with the exception of one show. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/277670/espn-radio-returns-to-harrisburg/

So no more broadcasting news in the form of a magazine? Wow. And to think that B+C operated for over 93 years......... that's 93 years of broadcasting news down the drain.

WATE dumping the ABC from their logo is an example of showing that the station wouldn't want to mention their affiliation on air at all. Seems like someone at WATE heard of Gray TV's WVLT dropping their logo and I assume that they wanted to do the same thing.
