Judging by this website you already have an army lol! Just normal telly, which doesn't even have Channel5! Dad got Sky taken away because he had an argument with some guy down the phone after they refused to play the pay per view movie we paid for. I was sooooo sad when it went :cry: He was gonna rejoin when they sent an apology letter, except they didn't, just a slip to send if you wanna rejoin....hence I have no Sky lol!

Oh yeah...that was the other sad thing, we did get a freeview box from some dude up north that my dad knows. We got it, plugged it in and it didn't work - which confirmed my fear that we couldn't get it :( But *evil laugh* it was that way with broadband for a while so who knows for the future? Maybe I should start a petition to bring freeview to Kent...hmm getting ideas..!

My dad said the other day that there was a guy he knew from his old work. And he used to have a huge satalite dish in his backhard conneted to his TV. It was said that he could pick up CBS from America and NBC n all that stuff. Like Sky news does for CBS, they must bounce the stuff of satalites for other tv stations in other countries to pick their channel up. Must be interesting to mess around with that, better than watching Big Brother...

on the grid.

Yea, have always wanted to take a look at US tv (mainly to take this p*ss out of it). There would only be the Olsen twins, Paris Hilton, 50 Cent and mabie some old A-Team repeats. But it's funny that they cant do things right!

Commentry from the England game:

"Headball from David Beckham, MichaelOwen puts in into the net, behind the man with gloves" The fact that they couldn't say Michael Owen in two words got me...

on the grid.

Freeview will takeover Sky Digital at the time of the analogue switch-off, which I can quite believe.

The poll, published today, revealed that 62% of delegates registered for the MediaGuardian Edinburgh international TV festival thought that the service would come out on top.

Channel 4's hotly anticipated digital service, More4, will launch on October 10 with a daily topical talk show featuring Boris Johnson's dad, Stanley, as a presenter.

More4 is to have a weekly movie slot, with free-to-air UK TV premieres of titles including The Magdalene Sisters and House of Mirth, plus films from the Film Four library including The Crying Game, The Madness of King George and Dance with a Stranger.

The new digital network will also have repeats of Channel 4 factual shows including Jamie's Great Escape, The Year London Blew Up, The Somme, Priest Idol and The Unteachables.

    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
    • Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.
