animal planet

Is animal planet joint owned by the BBC? It doesn't say anything in [[Animal Planet|the article.--Bjwebb (talk) 18:20, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Digital

I updated the template to reflect the fact that BBC1 and 2 *are* available on digital, which was not very clear from the template (not knowing any better, one would probably assume that One and Two are analogue-only, as they are listed as analogue channels).

If you don't like the way this was done, then change it, but please make clear that BBC1/2 are not solely available via analogue.

Yet More

Does anyone else feel that adding Stations of the BBC to the bottom of this template as a "cover-all" might be useful (I know that some are radio), or just serve to confuse? Zir 11:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Project Phoenix (BBC)

Codenamed Project Phoenix, BBC World will be releasing its largest-ever investment in an international news-based magazine. It will be directly linked with Newsnight and so I found it appropriate to add it to the template. Its release is expected for early 2007. Mkdw ^talk 21:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

International Channels

Can anyone seperate the "News Programming" to "Entertainment Programming" channels on the International Channels part.

Some people may not distinguish the genre shown on the channel... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.148.122 (talk) 13:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Alba

Although the name 'BBC Alba' indicates that it is a BBC channel. If you actually look into it (whilst making a note of the logo), it is actually a JOINT-VENTURE between the BBC and MG Alba. Please leave it under the 'joint-ventures' category on the template. Dundedia (talk) 20:03, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shall we cut back on the usage?

Please only use this template on articles that are members of the series. Someone seems to think that is best to use it on every article connected with BBC TV, but many of these already have several of their own more closely related navboxes. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:50, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
