Over the telly situation, or just in general terms?

The fact that they're getting a That's TV service. I wouldn't put anyone through watching that.


I'm still waiting to experience it !

I won't be surprised if That's TV ends up going bust in the next 2 years.

Were in a position where we can from time to time access That's Manchester and Made in Liverpool. That's Manchester is a pathetic excuse of a TV station, Made isn't much better but looks a tad more professional by comparison.

When you compare TM to the former Channel M, it confirmed how much of a professional job they used to do, on a similar less funded and less guaranteed budget.

No one would miss them then.

It does come to mind, when their programming is poorly made. That's TV have prioritised rapid expansion across the UK instead of building up their programmes and cementing themselves as a force for Local TV.

Sure, we have the likes of London Live abusing local programming commitments and having Ofcom sucker up to them, but even I'd take them over the That's TV channels.
