I think you missed a bit off at the end there. “Don’t like it, fine... reply with your point of view”
That is how forums work after all.

I would like a day go by when the petty mindedness of people on here stops. I submitted my point of view over the audience ratings. Don't like it, fine.

I know another poster previously predicted this yesterday, but that statement from Susanna and the general mood in the studio in that clip genuinely had some serious parallels with Jennifer Aniston's equivalent in The Morning Show.
Or... The Morning Show used cliches, tropes and parallels with statements and moods that have occurred when similar scandals and departures have happened in broadcasting in the past. Susanna was hardly going to come on blowing a kazoo, letting off party poppers and singing "ding dong the Morgan's gone", neither was she going to sit there, dressed in black, tears streaming, snot pouring out of her nose like Juliet Stevenson in Truly, Madly, Deeply.
Isn't there pretty much a standard for this kind of thing? When broadcasting goes wrong: remaining presenters deliver a statement citing their friendship with (and/or respect for) the departed colleague and their understanding why either they couldn't, or didn't want to continue in the role... then, broadcasting continues with a serious look on its face for a while until a new normal is established.

He seems to have done everything else on ITV.
Now I'm imagining Rylan at the helm the day Operation Forth Bridge kicks in... I may need a lie down and half a pint of Sanatogen.

Would Matthew Wright offer the right balance of journalistic tenacity and cheeky banter?

On that note, thought I'd dig them out and give them a tweak.
Cheerio for now X
…and finally
I'm with everyone else... this is really sad news, haven't been this upset since TVAM got the elbow. Brilliantly simple to navigate and explore, excellent insight and often hilarious banter, TV Forum has been a very enjoyable part of my online life since the beginning. How lucky have we been that Asa created, curated and shared this site with us for the past two decades?! Frankly... he's long overdue for a bit of a rest! Thanks Asa, the Mods, the Mockers, the Posters and the Lurkers... but mostly Asa, who was kind enough to say this...Quote:
Other things off the top of my head ... Pip2's incredible 'TVF as a channel' mock for its birthday a few years ago was amazing.
Cheers, Asa

Brekkie, thank you so, so much. I'm thrilled by your appreciation. And a little bit emotional.

Without a doubt for me pip2 is the standout contributer here.

And his BBC1 Globes by far the best design, bringing a classic right up to date with something which truly would have looked so great on TV.

(Unfortunately I think the content has largely been taken down).
The mock regional ITV News set was also superb - although to be honest almost everything they've done was.

Honourable mention to mdta and Bail too.
