A&E have axed Live P.D.

How often did it run? I remember More4 picked up a few episodes the weekend after broadcast but they were three hours long and ran usually until 2am on a Monday morning so they were bound not to do well. I was under the impression that it wasn't a weekly kind of thing and even if it was they would have at least shut it down for now.
Nope. It ran from October 2016 to May 2020 - it didn't stop for the virus. It usually aired twice a week.

Nigel Farage has 'left' LBC after not having his contract renewed and Tucker Carlson from Fox News has lost his Disney and Papa John's endorsements.

But LBC may have chosen to rid themselves of Farage, now that he got what he wanted and the UK is extracting itself from the EU.

It's like a planet that has used up all it's energy and drifts around space without a purpose.
Without 'Europe - what is it good for? rock to tie himself to, the fear of him going rouge on other topics, might have been too great.

And Disney calling time on Tucker Carlson (a face that anyone would never tire from punching) isn't a great surprise to anyone, given that he basically called Elmo from Sesame Street a racist on his show over a very easy to understand for children take on recent events in America on CNN last weekend..
Disney of course, own the Muppetts and Sesame Street.

The way LBC works, don't they now have to either get rid of a left winger or employ another right winger for balance?

If you get rid of a left winger, then apart from James O'Brien, who else from the red leaning side is there?

I'll take a flyer that Farage will end up as a regular contributer on Times Radio launching shortly, and that gave LBC/Global a nice little opportunity to fade him out.

I'd say Shelagh Fogarty and Eddie Mair are a small margin on the left?

Isn't Farage a bit downmarket for Times Radio considering they're trying to appeal to the sort of listeners who likes Radio 4? He'd be more at home at TalkRadio,

Definitely Fogarty and Mair are both more towards the left. I see tonight they have Iain Dale starting at 6:00pm instead of 7:00pm. In that case Iain is more to the right, but not at Farage level.

There's a free slot on Sunday mornings coming up on talkRADIO when Times launches.

I don’t know if Iain Lee’s slot has been found a permanent replacement but that might be a good bet. But I think if they wanted him Farage could walk into any slot he wanted.

Appears even at the funeral they managed to include footage of the wrong black man, which was then subsequently broadcast by many news organisations.

How odd. You would've thought that whoever was organising the funeral would've done some basic fact-checking of images... and would they not typically only use images supplied by the family?


You'd be surprised by what images families supply for funerals. I could well believe it was supplied by them and didn't get spotted until the actual service.

Yeah you can’t really slam the news organizations. Videos like that would be supplied by the family and organized by an outside source. I don’t know who produced the funeral, it was only labeled as pool. It’s possible it was the church.

Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour and Laura Ingram's Racist Roundtable are both major problems for Fox News. But the channel has a long history of hosts saying and doing problematic things. YOu never hear one word out of the management about them. NOTHING. Complete and total crickets and tumbleweeds. If they do say anything. Its some tired old retreaded line about their primetime shows are mostly opinion and have nothing to do with the news division. Lies. The recent garbage and hate these trolls spew is no surprise. BUT the advertisers that are running now...they will be back. Its always about money. After the protests and heat all these big companies ran adverts about equality and stuff, but they will slowly migrate back to those programs, like they always do. They follow the money. Then when they get caught out they throw their hands in the air and say they didnt realise they were advertising on that show, it was a third ad buying party they use. Yeah whatever. I say.....





What a nasty horrible disgusting person:
"They are coming for you". Whose they Tucker!?



Here is the ads someone is putting up around NYC to highlight his horrible show.

Laura Ingram's program isnt that nice either.
