Ok, we've had to use url shorteners to fit everything into the Bluesky bio for this and the UKIPTVC feeds. It doesn't look great but at least everything fits and works. We may switch to a link in bio for Bluesky feeds, where space is limited.

X has its own link in bio and Mastodon has enough space.

At a UKCG meeting today it was decided to reimpose the restriction on UKCG data being released through public forums. It is inappropriate to release information via platforms which promote fantasy scenarios over, or even alongside, facts.
Promoting fantasies only sows confusion.

The delay was due to SQL database extracts being unavailable during system maintenance.

Only minor changes today. Additions / removals of limited coverage streaming channels. A continuation of the case changes to Narrative's service names and the removal of the UK Radio Portal, which had been unavailable via DTT for a while.
Blogs will be updated overnight.

Our colleagues at UK Media Entertainment News have noted that automated moderation is incorrectly applying "graphic media" flags, e.g. to horror movie reviews.
Protocol across all UKCG feeds is to delete mislabelled posts. replacing them with a link to the equivalent post on Mastodon.

The big question arising from yesterday's rebranding of Narrative Entertainment's channels is: did Everyone TV get the capitalisation right?

A quick look at Narrative's own website indicates that even they are confused...
