You would have to be incredibly stupid to watch this channel for more than 5 minutes.

You would have to be incredibly stupid to watch this channel for more than 5 minutes.

You have to be even more stupid to watch the alternatives.

Let's try to keep the childish homophobic taunts out of here. Any repeat could lead to a threadban.

Still, a viewer is a viewer, and it all helps attract advertising and keep the channel afloat I suppose.

Not necessarily.

Westerns were the most popular shows on US TV in the 60's, but by the early 70's they were mostly gone, never to return.

Reason?

Wrong kind of audience, old people and kids loved westerns and that demographic didn't buy the stuff advertisers wanted to flog.

When you start seeing adverts for Stannah Stairlifts and retirement plans they'll be heading for the dustbin of history.

They blew all their money on a few celebrity gobshites as anchors. Plus Neill’s slice of the pie. Then realised they didn’t have anything left in the kitty to hire genuine professionals to operate the gallery, the cameras or the graphics, or for remote reporters. So they have hired a bunch of media studies graduates on the cheap for the grown up stuff.

When your USP is division and othering, an advertiser asks which side of the fence your client created buys most stuff. Express readers in Ipswich or the ‘metropolitan elite?’

They are probably basking in the viewing figures - but people are tuning in because they’re intrigued by what a shitfest it is. Clever ploy really.

Not seen it or read about it other than on here but it sounds like a reincarnation of L!VE TV which I think started as current affairs but quickly evolved into low brow stuff with highlights like topless darts, and eventually becoming a soft porn channel.
If topless darts makes a comeback on GB News we know where the channel’s going.
