Anyway - the launch of Virgin 1 or the first night of Channel 4. I know which I'm opting for, and I imagine most people around here will be making the same choice.


*Hugs dual tuner TV Card* Razz Tho I'm interested in V1 just for the presentation of the channel more than the programs which quite frankly are terrible or things I've seen lots of times/own on DVD

As expected, that was a rubbish launch. (Ident, cut to first programme)

nice ident there - for those who missed it/had no intentions of watching, it features a large '1' acting as a magnet for a multitude of red objects which are seen rolling across the screen in preceding shots...

What else were you expecting, there's been previews for hours beforehand, what else could they do?

right, so the custom adapted promo that led into a fully produced 'coming up tonight' segement before the ident was not good enough for you? the chatty and time specific announcemnet not to your taste?

What WOULD have pleased you? You master of TV branding, marketing and viewer retention.

Well i'm not talking about that, Just compared to previous launches of TV channels, launches nowadays aren't as exciting.

Nice idents. Not too over the top. The DOG is bareable as well.
I just don't seem too interested in most of their programming at the moment. Sad
