In the '80s, we got Countdown and Channel 4. In the '90s, we got the Spice Girls and Channel 5. In the '00s, we got Dave and Top Gear repeats.
And in the whatever-we-call-this-decade, we've got ITVBe and Towie. Lots and lots of Towie.
Not content with ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4, the broadcaster launches ITVBe this evening, a home for "entertainment and lifestyle" programming. That basically means more Towie.
Who would want to miss this momentous moment in broadcasting history? All the big guns - Jamelia, Mark Wright and Denise Van Outen - are involved at some point tonight, and we'll be sticking it out for the duration.
We'll be live blogging the whole evening from the Peter Andre kick-off at 7pm to the closing of the reem Towie party at 11pm - just dipping out in time to avoid Joe Swash on Celebrity Dinner Date.

PARIS -- Young producers will be in the spotlight at May's Festival de Cannes, with the European Film Promotion unveiling the names of 22 promising producers from across the continent Monday for the ninth year of its Producers on the Move program.
The initiative to promote young producers, financed by the European Union's MEDIA program and EFP member organizations, will feature round table discussions, co-production lunches and meetings from May 17-20.
"Particularly for young producers, it is extremely important that they can network with producers from other European countries and have an exchange of ideas on a high international level," EFP managing director Renate Rose said.
This year's crop of producing hopefuls selected from the EFP's member organizations includes Marc-Antoine Robert of 2.4.7. Films, whose animated hit Persepolis has already made waves across the Atlantic, in addition to Swedish producer Fredrik Heinig of St Paul Film whose first film Darling has been an international success.
Other Producers on the Move include: Manuel Cristobal (Perro Verde Films), Maria Drandaki (Bad Movies), Silje Hopland Eik (Cinenord), Alise Gelze (Film Angels Studio), Oana Giurgiu (Libra Film Production), Grzegorz Hajdarowicz (Gremi Film Production), Laura Hastings-Smith (Wayward Films), Dalma Hidasi, (Extreme Film), Sigrid Hoerner (moneypenny filmproduktion), Max Karli, (Rita Productions), Macdara Kelleher (Fastnet Films), Jiri Konecny (Endorfilm), Daniele Mazzocca (Verdeoro), Bernard Michaux (Lucil), Reinier Selen (Rinkel Film & TV Productions), Magnus Vidar Sigurdsson, (Saga Film), Ulla Simonen, Marko Skop (Artileria), Louise Vesth (Zentropa) and Leonel Vieira (Stopline Films).

PARIS -- The divorce papers were finalized Sunday as the end officially arrived for the three-year joint distribution venture Gaumont Columbia TriStar France.
As the U.S. studio and French major go their separate ways, the Columbia TriStar label is taking on its mother studio's name, Sony Pictures France. Sony's 32-strong team will continue to be run by Eric Brune, with Alexandre Bihn heading up the marketing division and Etienne Reynard head of sales.
From now through the end of the year, Sony will release six films in French theaters including Hostel: Part II on July 11, Daddy Day Camp on Aug. 15 and Surf's Up on Oct. 24, for a total of 15 films in 2007. The studio plans to increase its theatrical output in the territory to 18-22 films next year.
After a successful 2006 boxoffice that featured You Are So Handsome, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies and The Valet, Gaumont is hoping for a strong second half of 2007 with seven titles including Michel Boujenah's 3 Friends on Aug. 22; Christine Carriere's Darling on Nov. 7, starring Cesar-winner Guillaume Canet; and Djamel Bensalah's Big City, starring only children, Dec. 12.
