Talk:Ideal World

How come the fire is not mentioned? Do you not remember when the studio burnt down because of an elecy fault? 172.201.71.168 04:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Missing Information
I have included a "concern template" regarding the lack of information in the article. The current article serves no real purpose and is nothing more than a few sentences. As the above person has mentioned, where is useful information on Ideal World? The actual history of the channel (launch date, early programming and presenters etc.) should be mentioned, aswell as the March 2001 fire. I will try to improve the article in the near future, but would welcome anyone to provide the useful information needed. Thanks Paul S UK 19:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Hi Paul - It looks like some of your concerns have been addressed with more history and the fire mentioned. I've added a bit about their recent acquisition by Inflexion PE. Sandra.anderson.brighton (talk) 19:59, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Ideal World will be wound down. Trading will not resume. Percy2345 (talk) 19:15, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "Trading will not resume." - therefore, in accordance with the commented-out is/was advice, I have shewn it as a defunct business that previously broadcast. Poor form to bury info several sections down without incorporating into lede summary, as it is a major event.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 19:56, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
