CBBC Channel

Nice video from Hacker T Dog's channel about social distancing measures at CBBC.

Interesting that they split people between galleries to socially distance them. Wonder if certain other facilities with studio floors tied to specific galleries have regretted that recently?

Some things are easier to extend than others - especially if you're having to put one gallery out of use to accommodate people from another. It might also just be the case that 'fixed' facilities are only fixed as far as a patch panel - ie you can overplug things but you wouldn't want to be doing it between shows, and it's not as flexible as everything being on the same router.

Just a week off to make way for So Awkward, then back on for another 3 Thursdays.

There’s 5 episodes so I believe it finishes on 3rd September.

Still, unless they have a strict schedule to keep to on Thursdays before the end of the year, I see no reason why you need a double bill of So Awkward, especially after your new summer show started the week before.

Also, I’ve noticed how CBBC haven’t shown an episode of Little Big Awesome, although it looks like it’s because the one not shown is about quarantining.

There are only 4 episodes, final TX is 27th August. I believe So Awkward was scheduled already in advance before the Summer Mash-Up shows were confirmed.

Ofcom has allowed the bbc to axe the afternoon Newsround: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/uk-world-news/afternoon-newsround-axed-bbc-moves-4370957

Soon there shall only be one...

Yep from September. When the CBBC schedule reverts to it’s normal from 7.30am - 2.15pm (it’s currently messed up a bit due to COVID-19), I expect the changes will be made. Maybe it’ll go at 7.50am, maybe 8.05am?

Only just watched that but one of the most informative pieces on the subject I've seen - highlights why children's TV should be allowed to reach beyond children from time to time.

Scream Street is back on air on 13th August at 3.25pm.
