TV & Radio Bits closed?

I just visited http://www.tvradiobits.co.uk/ to find "30 January 2000-1 October 2008 | TV & Radio Bits has closed. [...]"

Wha-huh?

Shocked. TV & Radio Bits was the first TV pres site I ever visited and I'm truly saddened to see it go.

Blimey, that didn't take long!

I'm sad to take it down, but circumstances have reached the stage where I have no wish to continue with it.

This is sad, TV & Radio Bits is, I think, my favourite presentation site. But if you don't want to continue, it's definitely for the best.

A real shame to see this go, one of the "reliable" sites I visited often and one of the very few now that provided genuinely interesting and original content. Most of the sites that have closed down in the past I haven't really cared about since you can find equivalent content elsewhere, but a lot of effort was put into this one and I feel as though I should comment on that. Thanks Robert.

...and that was "Thanks Robert" as in "Thank you for the work, nice one", rather than "Well thanks for taking it down you *******". Just thought I should clarify.

I'm offended either way dan

Thank you for the kind comments. To close the site wasn't an easy decision to make. It's something I've been going over in my mind for a few weeks now. I appreciate that it was a bit of a bombshell to take it offline so suddenly, for that I apologise.

It is a shame it's had to go...but on the other hand, when a website starts to become popular, you start feeling a commitment to keep it up-to-date, to get the latest idents up as soon as you can, to get a full Eurovision section up every year, and so on. I think I'll be glad to be free of these commitments.

Jesus, that was a shock, I'd been a regular visitor for over seven years. Even though it was around for years I still think of it as one of the newer sites, with MHP/TV Ark/TV Room etc as the old guard. I think the last site before now I was really sad to see go was APFS a few years back.

But thanks for the great site while it lasted!

Gutted. Sorry to hear about the loss of the site Rob. I wish you well for the future.

was the first ident page i visited, and appart from this forum my only source of info, spent many an hour just browsing the different sections. sad to see it go. thank you tho for all the hard work it must have taken.

A fantastic site Robert and a shame to see it go but sometimes it's quite nice to put a project to bed, especially if it begins to feels like a chore than something to enjoy doing - I had the same feeling with TV Home.

Shame that the archived version is blocked though
