Almost every week there are new channels appearing on digital TV. Why is there not a Science Communication Channel containing science, technology and medicine? Science Communication has broadened in so many directions that there could be music, laughter and drama, as well as news, discussion and engagement. Sky Arts is often praised, so why not Sci-Com? It is not that expensive to start a TV channel these days, and there would be support from science research groups, institutes, etc., as well as ads from technology companies and health organisations. Given that science is moving so fast and changing so many ideas there would be no shortage of material. And perhaps there could be a Science X-Factor competition to encourage amateur research?
