I’m not sure that the public really cares as much about TV channels’ birthdays as we here might like to think.
Graham Norton hit the nail on the head when asked about his show's 20th birthday by Phil & Holly on This Morning: "The only people that actually care about that sort of thing are me, and the people at my office... audiences don't care, they just want to turn on and see the best show they can see."
Bit awks considering This Morning have a commemorative programme every time either of them has a bowel movement.
I don't think that's fair at all. They've marked 18, 20, 21, 25 and 30 - all the milestones everyone celebrates.
It is a big achievement for a magazine show so I get why they celebrate it. But their 30th was the weakest because they were going over old ground and then there was the toe curling Fern interview. Hopefully they'll not do another one until the 40th or 50th.
As for itv2 celebrating.. well it's a youth channel now so it's not really the same channel from what it was so it'd be lost on most people including me because I couldn't receive it for almost 10 years after it started.
