Annoyed with TV

Just wanted to moan about something. TV Scheduling. I am sick of it being abused by the Free-to-air stations. Shows getting knocked about, certain shows going into triple overtime, pushing back the shows you really want to watch.

I have a big problem with Big Brother. Why dedicate so much time to a concept which should have died before the first ep aired in Australia. I thought we (as Aussies) were a bit smarter than that.

As you might tell, I am no fan of BB, and even less of a fan of the regular late running shows, last minute timetable changes and regular rescheduling that seems to be the standard mode of operation for TV Today.

Last night, my wife and I had to wait nearly 1/2 an hour for a show just because another show had preferential treatment and was allowed to go well overtime. It is simply not good enough.

I thank you for you time in reading this small rant. For more ;-) use the Yahoo 360 link to my personal blog.

I've known about it for about a year or two... Never quite fully understood the concept or implications of it. I guess because we are so used to having 'free' TV here, it seems odd to us that another country institutionalises a fee. I'm sure somewhere in WWW-land, there is an explanation.
