If there were three things that needed cutting from yesterday's programme, they were Andi Peters, Ross King and Richard Arnold. Andi so far has not appeared - fingers crossed - although I shan't hold my breath. Ross was on at 6:15 talking about Robbie Williams. His role isn't needed and he himself is just excrucuatingly awful. Richard, the lesser of three evils I can live with, but preferrably he wouldn't be there. I seriously don't feel entertainment news needs an everyday slot though. I think he should do the hotel room celebrity interviews and that be that.
Yes I agree.
The Robbie Williams bit at best only needed a quick mention by one of the main presenters. We didn't need Ross King telling us every little detail.
That's interesting. I didn't think Channel TV's output was back-hauled to Chiswick/Leeds, I thought
they simply opt themselves out of a 'dirty' Meridian feed locally ?
I think it comes from Chiswick now, although even if it didn't their output still needs to be brought back to London for uplinking to Astra
Yes, it does, though the Astra uplink element is within Arqiva's domain, and not Technicolor's ?
Susanna and Ben reading out comments on the top story this morning, pretty good move. It seems a lot more relaxed this morning, and still strong news content despite the mentions of entertainment (Rob/Zac) at the TOTH.
