Pick TV, The Old Sky3.

[chrissa1]

Does anyone know why they keep on showing repeats of Road Wars?
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy the programme and I have it on when I'm in bed reading, but there must be more episodes they could show in a longer rotation, instead of the same ones week after week.

There may well be more episodes (which could be shown in a longer rotation) but it's probable that Pick TV doesn't currently have the broadcasting rights to show them (or the money to pay for such rights).

In the current economic climate most commercial TV stations are struggling to survive. (Even ITV1 has come close to collapse at times). One of the first things which many cash-strapped companies cut back on is their advertising budget. That means that commercial broadcasters have much less money coming in which, in turn, means that they've got less money to spend on programming. Expect to see the same old stuff being shown over and over again on many channels!

I thought that Pick TV was still a Sky channel which had just changed it's name. Thanks Chris, that explains a lot.

Anyone watch Alibi, Chanel 130 on Virgin Media? It's all constantly repeated programmes.

[chrissa1]

I don't mind repeats as such. I just wish they would change the time of the showing of Road Wars. That, or I'll have to go to bed earlier or later. Lol.

Why do you have the TV on when you're reading chrissa? Doesn't it distract you from your book?

Well that's the stupid thing Tizzi. Because they are all repeats, I don't have to concentrate on them and can read my book. Living alone, I have the tv on for company more than anything.
