It's an Exclusive
You have probably been bored witless by the TV stations trumpeting that their news story is an exclusive. Channel 7 is the worst followed hot on the trail by Channel 9.
A simple question. Does the viewer care? Of course not! It only the channel that does. The commercial channels just have to give themselves a continuous hug. Yuck!
Also the volume of advertisments on the commercial channels, particularly 7 and 9, is excessive. The other evening, I counted 14 adverts. between a screening segment of a movie. 10 were for their client's products, 4 were for programmes being run by the channel. Give us a break, give us a movie break! They have this hysterical need to pat themselves on the back. We are watching advertisements with the odd bit of a movie thrown in. I'm fed up. The only way I will watch a movie from the commercial channels, is to download it to my hard drive HD set-top box and fast forward the adverts.
