For those who don't know, there's a new craft tv channel launching at noon on Thursday, called Hochanda (Home of Crafts, Hobbies and Arts). "Twelve hours a day (9am until 9pm) will be broadcast live and the channel will be available on Freeview channel 39 (6am until 4am), Sky channel 663, Freesat channel 822 and Online via our website (IPTV)." Their full announcement is here.
:thanks: for the info Dan. I shall go set my planner and see if it will be of interest. :unsure:
Creative Expressions have announced that some of their big names will be on this new channel - Sue Wilson, Phill Martin, John Lockwood etc.
OK so that is not the same as The Craft Channel or even the internet only British Craft Channel :D Add C&C and QVC into the mix and that is a a lora, lora craft on TV!
If you want to check out either, Craft Daily has old videos here and British Craft Channel has catch-up shows here
Craft Daily is much more sewing and other crafts, not so much papercrafting.
MA your link to the Craft Channel goes to Craft Daily instead, shouldn't it go here?
Hope it's not just another version of C&C selling nothing but dies and CDs.
graphtec ,cleo, sixpence quilting,barbara grey,to name a few more
Same as C&C... Wonder why everyone has jumped ship
Probably :DQuote:

If I get chance I wremember (quite) a few years ago getting sooo excited when QVC where having one of their special scrap days.
Then I found online scrapbook stores and realised how dated and limited the supplies were on crafting TV. Are any of the guest presenters actual scrappers that have ever looked at the fantastic pages being produced around the globe?
I gave up watching regularly years ago, Rosemary Merry was the only one that seemed to make a halfway decent page and you can find most items much cheaper elsewhere online. The classes, sponsors, conversations and gallery on here are much more inspiring for me :)

Everything you say is true Louise, I think the only reason I am looking forward to seeing what this new channel has to offer must be a triumph of hope over experience! :D
You got that right!.... I think an injection of new fresh talent is needed.

Wonder if they could get Amy Tan, Heidi Swapp or Becky Higgins on? That would be worth watching,

What show was Shimelle on please? Just had a quick look through Saturday and Sunday's shows to see what it might have been and couldn't see a scrapbooking show. I did see some Heidi Swapp items listed for a couple of shows.
Thank you.
Her show was We R Memory Keepers stuff - the word Template was in the title
Thank you! Off for a look in the schedules.
It was 4pm and 7pm on Sunday

How do you watch this on Internet - we don't have sky or freeview box (Virgin customer )
They have a website hochanda.com (and FB page) live feed up later as they have to do the tv first!
This is what is said in the email I received from them although it doesn't mean anything to me "Virgin customers can switch their TVs to standard TV to access Freeview channels".Quote:

Two places- either on the C&C website, there is a drop down menu atthe top right of the homepage or on C&C tablet App. I managed to get the USA C&C website saved as a bookmark so I can watch those shows too bearing in mind not everything is available here.
Hochanda has improved over the last few weeks - needed to - the first couple of shows were quite amateurish.
Robert Addams has been on a few times and Barbara Gray.
Won't even be trying to find the Craft Channel - Dawn Bibby is on it - kiss of death to any programme.
Doe anyone know what has happened to Leonie Pujal from C & C? She seems to have vanished.
she's on extended leave, she hasn't said anymore than that as she's not allowed to. She currently in the US on a road trip.
How very mysterious! Thank you.
Leonie is definitely Hochanda bound when her contract allows her to.
Oooh, how do you know that? I thought she may have been on the way to the Craft Channel with Dawn?
A process of elimination by a user on another forum- Leonie has left C&C and said on twitter that she wasn't joining Dawn. Hearsay I suppose and there could be another twist in the tail.
I cannot imagine her ever wanting to work with Dawn again. Only time will tell though - intriguing isn't it? LOL!
