In the next franchise battle (And if someone tells me when then I would be greatful) let's make some first person reviews on it,pretending it's just happened.
I'll start:

'I was gutted when I found out UTV didn't make it. 35,000 pounds is a lot,but Irish Network bidding 39,000 pounds had to have the most bring name ever!
So,Carlton's lost out. I knew they would. But they only lost the Midlands! Apparently they failed on their business plan,whatever that was.'

So,anyone else willing?

Can I just say how glad I am that Sky News lost the bid for ITN to America's NFBBC (News & Foxy Boxing Broadcasting Channel)

Don't take this the wrong way but, what's the point?

I am absolutely delighted that Neighbours has been axed, and that the BBC are going to show repeats of Eldorado in its place.

My thoughts (and dates) are on the TV Archive web site, in TV Articles

I am delighted that all soaps have been axed and replaced with the slightly more interesting watching paint dry programme - sponsored by Cadbury's

And it's nice to see Border being bought out by Scottish and showing some decent coverage of south-west Scotland for a change!

I would just like to say how brilliant it is that Thames has come back to the ITV network to replace Carlton & trhe fact that Carlton television is in �500 million pounds of debt. Also good to see the IBA back instead of the ITC so that we wont have anymore mishaps like we did in 1993:D
