The People, Gary Bushell and Ratings

Reading Gary's column in the People. Part of it mentions that a programme on Jethro got over 1 million on this new channel sound tv.

Now either Gary's added a few noughts, or he's getting ratings wrong somewhere.

My opinion is based on the facts that the highest rating multi channel programmes usually get around 500 000, and they're usually films on ITV2, or Sky Movies Premieres.

Though unlike ITV2, I believe that Sound TV is only available on Sky, and it's hidden in the documentary section anyway!

Plus films on Sky & ITV2 are often publicised on all of their channels, where as I've never seen this Sound TV yet, everytime I put it on, it's Information TV (or something).

So could this have really happened or is Bushell trying to make Execs put more entertainment onto the TV, not a bad thing, I'd love to see more, but I just don't see how the ratings add up.

Firstly, Garry Bushell wrote the article.

Secondly, it was published by a tacky tabloid

Thirdly, I can't even find Sound TV on my Sky EPG!


So I think this is where the word 'bullsh*t' is meant to go!

LMAO. Sound TV is on Sky EPG 588, though I think it's supposed to be going into the entertainment section soon.
This is that channel that you may have read about that many old entertainers have put their money into.
It was originally going to be called Great British TV (A much better name in my opinion), it will showcase new talent and provide a home for old talent too.

I'd love to see more entertainment..... but just not Jethro (or most of the 'stars' who's only outlet is Sound TV)

They don't add up. But this does - Jethro is a personal friend of Bushell, and hasn't Gary thown some cash into this venture?

Fishy.
