Come on, Heidi, it's a news and sport channel.
Tonight bumptious Colin Murray starts a run of shows, 9pm to midnight, Monday to Wednesday. The billing says "Colin Murray with late night discussion on the issues that matter to you".
Mr Murray says "9-10 news then every night at 10pm I’m opening a virtual pub!"
"Loads of people I now have talked about the increased and, at times, acute anxiety they feel as the night creeps in and the clock ticks on.
"The fact that a lot of our channels pump out their flagship news programmes at 10pm and later can exacerbate this. That's fine for some, but for me and many people I know, we've started to turn off our news and social media streams after a certain time, in order to protect/help our own mental health.
"So the idea behind opening a virtual bar is not a novelty, but more an extreme alternative to hard news. We have to take a news break for two mins at 11pm (unavoidable) but apart from that, nothing."
Tonight's guests include Johnny Vegas, Katharine Merry and Fleur East.
From midnight to 1am, it's two pre-recorded podcasts, then simulcasting Radio London til 5am. Towel thrown in.
