And endless repeats of Seinfeld, MASH. Maybe “No.96” also? Gotta be better than the current schedule. As a cheap'n'cheerful network in the 90s, they had an audience that knew what it wanted, crap but enjoyable crap, voluntarily ingested, and most importantly, under 30yr. the last remaining vestige is that kinda-sorta panel news thingy (can't recall the name.. <i>project</i> like when we'd cut out pics and stick 'em in a book for extra marks in the extra slow class?) during the week which occasional does good work.

Through the year they took Formula1 off their HD station and put it on SD upsetting fans (caused enough ruction for them to reverse decision). Small maybe but stupid. Wonder about the Fox connection too. Agree with geomac generally and specially about the AFL, it created a halo effect for me anyway.

What Packer thinks would be interesting , maybe he is in the know or has bigger fish to fry , casino . Continuing with AFL games was a no brainer as it also generated other programmes . That cage martial art fighting series was popular among the youngish and was also taken off or lost . Fox sports or a channel Ten reason for losing them ? I never watch morning television but that kiwi bloke seemed even too crass even for that time slot . Paul Henry has as much talent as Greg Ritchie and maybe is better suited to the talk circuit sports night smoko . Mind you I,m only going on snippets of him I have seen , never watched the show . Gina is quiet considering her loud disapproval of the Fairfax board yet Ten is doing worse . Bolt being her pet might have some bearing . How can they bone talent and keep Bolt ?
