No I wouldnt want a Shortland Street channel as a matter of fact - one episode in the schedule at 5.00pm per weekday would be ample.
Where you got the idea of a SS channel from ive no idea. I'm getting a bit fed up of this problem you have with me just cos I dont like Crossroads, its obvious thats the reason, the same reason people have problems with James Martin.


Have I expressed distaste or problems with you in this thread apart from one jokey reference about the Shortland Street channel? I don't think so.

Anyway I think we should have a HTV Wales channel on Sky


You already do, go to Wales, install Sky Digital and tune into Channel 103 or add it via Other Channels for non welsh viewers Razz

DUH! - I was talking about a channel dedicated to HTV regional progs not the ITV region we currently have.

And as for that schedule the people mentioned are newsreaders on HTV Wales, you wouldnt know them unless you watch HTV News, you live in Carlton for Central land dont you - you may know Charlie Neil, Emma Jesson and James Wright who do our weather forcasts as they also do the forcast for Central.

I think bringing back Crossroads would be the worst thing a tv station could ever do now.

Likewise on Shortie Street.

I would not mind Crossroads coming back but I'm not really too bothered (I have my tapes so I don't care anymore about most of ITV1's output Razz). There doesn't seem to have been a lot of effort gone into this 5-6pm "relaunch" to be honest.

I have loads of SS on video so I will probbaly rewatch the eps I have in the near future - but no the best thing ITV could do is bring back SS, remember the show is still being made in NZ and there are lots of people who want it back (about 300 people signed the petition and thats just the fans online) I think there is more chance Shorty St coming back than Crossroads.

I agree with you Shocked I dont think much of the 5pm-6pm progs - how about SS at 5pm and then Crossroads at 5.30pm then we'd both be happy and Crossie would inherit a lot of viewers from SS at 5pm Very Happy
