General International TV Channels Thread

It seems weird how the English track on the Viasat World channels are handled when the ads are on: the raw feed's promos without the timeslots are overlapping the ads.

Remember to appreciate your niche TV channels that no one knows about or no one watches.
I also bring you some screenshots of Silverline (Movie Channel) that I grabbed yesterday, a niche German movie channel that finally found some budget? and is slowly phasing out their old graphics. Slowly. (The black and white pres is the new one, the neon logo one is the old one.)

Spoiler: It's screenshots!

The logo and name remind me of a budget electronics brand.

I am aware that the age of flashing glossy brandings is over, however the minimalism used by these Discovery-owned channels over here is in my ever-personal opinion unbearable

I like when the pres is simple but includes nice animations. Pure eyecandy, good motion design right here.

Not that unbearable, but I've noticed the new Scandinavian trend is TOO minimalism, which is way too minimal for my tastes.

They used to apply this with idents and colorful branding, but now the channels lack characters and are as bland as white bread

@themidnightlore the problem is there isn't anything aside from some graphics, while , e.g. in the UK And even Italy (incredibly so) they mix these with a real presentation, creative idents and stings.

All of their channels look similar, if not the same

WBD put all the love for the pres in Italy and UK and Poland (and had few cents left for the Nordic channels) /lh
While I do dig my fancy smancy pres, sometimes something very barebones is nice. (Perhaps even too barebones here, though?)

Talking of presentation, why Sky Italia still hasn't switched to the new look? I'm jelaous of the German Sky for that right now... (Unless Comcast really doesn't want to use the Sky One hot pink for Sky Uno and they're trying to find a replacement, or something. Not that they have to make the branding for 3 (+ then some) channels that only Italy has - Adventure, Serie, Collection (+ Sky Classica, Sky Investigation (grab Sky Witness for that) and Sky Uno+)...)

Even RTP's rebrand is a bit more engaging.
