Just another heads up to say I had my second COVID-19 vaccine this morning. Unlike last time I haven't escaped without any side effects, so I don't know how much stuff I'll do on here this evening, particularly as we get later into the night. I'll see how it goes though.

Dear Paul,
I recently added election boxes on a page you created, Thames Valley PCC. I was wondering if you could check it over.

I have just created a Timeline of S4C and was wondering what timelines we could create next. One possibility for television could be Sky One, and a Sky One timeline would include its spin-off channels Sky Replay and Pick TV. Regarding radio, what immediately comes to mind is TalkSport and LBC. What do you think, and can you think of any others? Rillington ( talk) 15:52, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
I have nearly completed the three children's tv timelines and am continuing to put together a multi-sports events timeline. I have also started to put together a timeline for local television, which will include local TV from the early cable experiments to today, and am then probably going to compile timelines for radio in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I may then extend this to regions in England for both radio and TV, but they probably won't strict rigidly to the ITV regions. Rillington ( talk) 16:24, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

I have now created five more timelines - the three for children's programmes plus a timeline for schools broadcasts and a Timeline of local television in the UK. It's now a question of which are the next timelines that we would create, in addition to a timeline of multi-sports events which I am in the process of creating offline.
Your suggestions included:
As for me, my thoughts include:
Regarding radio, we have both thought about LBC and TalkSport sound good, the latter could include its predecessor TalkRadio. We've also thought about a timeline for Greatest Hits Radio as it would include both presenter/on-air changes and its continued expansion across the UK.
Other suggestions included timeline(s) of sports broadcasting on UK radio. This could be one big timeline or it could be separated between the BBC snd commercial stations such as TalkSPORT, local stations, IRN and other sports radio stations, and timelines for radio in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
You also suggested a timeline for radio in Birmingham and maybe we could do timelines for other cities in the UK should there be enough information to create a viable timeline.
Finally, we don't seem to have a timeline for non-RTE radio in Ireland. I think that would be an excellent addition to our timeline series.
What are your thoughts? Rillington ( talk) 15:45, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
I've also now started a timeline for Greatest Hits Radio. It will include the background as to how it came about by covering the networking of Magic Radio and the subsequent City 2 network, which was the predecessor to GHR. Rillington ( talk) 16:56, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
I have noticed a few entires on the radio timelines about single series programmes - eg two on the Jazz FM timeline - Helen Mayhew begins a three-part series featuring recently-surfaced interviews with Oscar Peterson, Sarah Vaughan and Art Blakey. The material was recorded by journalist Les Tomkins, who died in 2020 and left his archive to the National Jazz Archive and Debut of Space is the Place on Jazz FM, a series of dramas about key moments in the lives of jazz legends, including Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis. I don't think that one-off series such as these should really be on the timelines. What do you think? Rillington ( talk) 17:05, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
I have now much of the way through the process of creating the overnight TV timeline and I'm now thinking about any daytime television timelime. What times of day should it cover? What should be the scope of the timeline - ie should it be based solely on developments, as is the case with our other timelines, with only long standing major programmes be mentioned? And also when should the timeline start? My hunch is the start of the 1970s when the restrictions on broadcasting hours were lifted. Rillington ( talk) 16:56, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
I've also begun creating that timeline and I have included referendums in this timeline and and I'm inclined also to include USA results programmes as well. What do you think should be covered in an election results timeline? Rillington ( talk) 16:56, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
i have run into problems with an article regarding forthcoming channel Sky Max. It has been relegated to draft mode three times on the grounds of all of independent references and even though i have added several, it is still deemed as being not good enough for inclusion on the main site. i have begun a discussion on the Help desk page which summarises all those objections. Any guidance and support would be appreciated as i don't know what else I can do given that the article now contains four independent references.
Also, there is a discussion on Sky One's Talkpage about merging the Sky One and Sky showcase articles based on the incorrect notion that Sky Showcase will replace Sky Max even though Showcase will be a brand new channel with the only replacement aspect being that Showcase will take Sky One's EPG slot. Thankfully, Bonusballs has backed me up on this which has helped hugely as both of us think that all three channels should have their own separate articles.
Bonusballs also made the point that Sky Living should be an article in its own right given that Sky Witness is a different channel and whilst it did 'replace' Sky Living, its programming is somewhat different. I have begun a discussion on Sky Witness's Talkpage about Sky living and Sky Witness having their own separate articles.
Any thoughts, guidance and support on these issues would be appreciated. Rillington ( talk) 14:00, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

To update you, I have now crested a Timeline of Greatest Hits Radio but have not included presenter changes, not least because it would have further delayed the creation of the timeline. Now that it's online, should we add presenter changes to the timeline?
Elsewhere, my timelines for election broadcasts, overnight television and multi-sport events are continuing to be developed and you said you would be happy to do a timeline for commercial radio in Ireland.
Future timelines that we have talked about include:
Timeline of business programming on UK television (such as launch of CNBC, and The Business Programme, The Money Programme, Working Lunch, etc)
Regarding radio, we have both thought about LBC and TalkSport sound good, the latter could include its predecessor TalkRadio. Other suggestions included timeline(s) of sports broadcasting on UK radio. This could be one big timeline or it could be separated between the BBC and commercial stations such as TalkSPORT, local stations, IRN and other sports radio stations, and timelines for radio in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
You also suggested a few city timeline for radio - Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and Nottingham and maybe we could do timelines for other cities in the UK should there be enough information to create a viable timeline. Rillington ( talk) 17:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
