(Another) New TV channel

After the demise of TV12 , then Solent TV mysteriously going off air, could it be third time lucky? of should we learn from our mistakes? Some bright spark thinks the former as a new "NEW GLOBAL TV CHANNEL TO LAUNCH FROM IW" (Again, front page news, (at the top)) is to launch in December. Well having just read the news White Air could be forced off the island due to backward thinking people wanting to revert Sandown to a nice 1950's seaside resort instead of actually thinking about silly things like economics, tourism, and publicity, I read with some trepidation. “The whole ethos is family viewing. A comparison is the BBC in the 1950s but with a 21st century twist,”

Ok. The joke goes the IOW is stuck in 1953, while the rest of the UK is in 2007. How the hell is this going to help? - 'Ahhh, your forgeting the 21st century twist' I hear you cry. The 21st century twist is this; "
UK Entertainment will be an internet broadband channel, viewable on a PC or on a television through a new-style digibox, which will be available in December." you see. they didn't have them in the '50s

Well. Only time will tell...
