  • Exposed: Gut-level contact

    It’s not pleasant getting contact from a TV presenter. They make an approach and it doesn’t feel good. They have a strong gut but yours isn’t so developed. It takes a few days to get over it.

    This site had a spate of attempts at contact. We took days out in hotels to rest it off. We did our breathing exercises and went off. We never made contact again. It was a lesson learned.

    The problem is people in TV don’t understand how important health is. Their campaigns of harassment don’t come to an end easily. It stops if you give up. They’re obsessed with causing upset.

  • Never mind the TV channels

    The reality of running a TV station in the UK is it’s fraught with difficulty. It’s not going to be easy, and that’s just for starters.

    The setup is meant to support televisual glory, but the reality is hard graft. The ratings slide, presenters misbehave, and advertisers wobble.

    At least, it’s the experience of those not in the mainstream of media. It’s a larger, broader mission to achieve, and it takes effort to do.

  • UK’s TV gets better and better

    The innovations in UK television have kept on coming. The advent of new channels, platforms, and ways to view have increased at pace and fit a busy market churning out the hits.

    The latest iterations of political chat show programming such as TalkTV and GBNews have enjoyed patchy success, but their introduction mark a milestone in moving things forward.

    The introduction of Freely, a new platform by publicly owned Everyone TV – a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 – is another step forward for television viewers.

    The variety of home-grown programming is increasing at pace and making waves too. Lately, Have I Got News For You hit CNN – a major American cable network – in September.

    The ideas, scope, and appeal of programming is hitting different spots across the UK. The benefit is that entertainment is more open, accessible, and informative than ever before.
