So then, which EMAP channel do you think has the best presentaion? I'm talking about the on-screen graphics, break bumpers, etc. You know, everything. I prefer Kiss to the rest (just a shame it's so god-damned pink!).
I like The Box's logo is best. Smash Hits' logo looks like something they've just knocked up in 2 minutes flat in crappy Paint Shop Pro!

I like the Box's break bumpers, but I don't like their graphics - I prefer those on Kiss... Q's got the best tunes tho.
BTW, check out my EMAP channels design challenge in Mock Designs...
I wouldn't say that to the average Kerrang! viewer - you'd be likely to get your face kicked in...

I've a theory about all these EMAP and music channels....
They charge people a premium rate phone call to dial in and supposedly select the tunes they play...
They prey on kids, in effect, and they also charge you for texting them with messages...
But has anyone got any proof that their playlist in anyway responds to phone calls...
My brother dialled in to choose a tune once and waited 3 hours for it to be played - and that was in the middle of the night when they don't get many calls.
I reckon it's a very smart way of supplementing what little money they make from advertising. They just programme all their videos on rotation - and then make you believe you can choose what gets played next. Very smart!
