Channel Ten are crap!

Have the programmers at Ten lost their minds?Send the kids on work experience back to primary school and employ some adults again. PLEASE.

As a user of a service I don’t pay for (other than selling my soul every ad break), I would also like to vent my frustration at the free to air rubbish. Gripes with Channel Ten:

1) WTF is with the replacing of Simpsons on Tuesday with f*cking Idol? What f*cktard came up with that idea?
2) It’s a fact; the advertisements are louder than the programs.
3) Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond. They’re finished. Let them go. Seriously.
4) Law & Order. One themsong; many shows. Who can keep track of that shit?
5) Sex in the City. I believe they are starting to air this after having bought the rights from Channel Nine. Once again; it’s finished. Let it go.
6) Sports tonight. Enough Golf and AFL already!

That’s all I can think of without sounding too much like a pom.

I emailed them about this about a year ago – I can’t even remember what I was trying to find now. Anyway – I got a form letter back explaining that I needed to pick my capital city from the drop down menu…..sigh.

No umpires in Rugby, we have referees

Go on, Spectra, enumerate. Just one or two. (I don’t want to be the only one!)

Don’t misunderstand me, by the way – Channel Ten are indeed crap. As are Southern Cross Ten. And Seven (and Prime) and Nine (and WIN). All for so many reasons that I couldn’t even begin to enumerate them here…

Actually, the reason you can’t find it on Ten’s Sydney guide is because we don’t strictly get “Ten” down here. We get “Southern Cross Ten” – an “affiliate” station. They have their own guide at http://www.southerncrossbroadcasting.com.au/ (“TV Guides” – bottom of the menu – apparently the only “service” they offer). Of course, there’s no actual information of the kind you want to know – that’d be asking too much.

Is your beef that Southern Cross Ten are badly organised, or that State Focus is a really crap show?

Of course there’s nothing on the program via the Internet. Because 10 and SF aren’t about providing information to their viewers; it’s simply the cheapest way possible for 10 to satisfy the ABA (now ACMA’s) paper-thin local news and current affairs requirements.

If they seriously wanted to make a current affairs show about this region’s issues, they’d have a host who actually knew how to interview, and do more than have actual interviews with mostly Canberra themes – but they don’t want to spend the money on preparing stories – AND they don’t want to spend the money on maintaining a website on the show and the stories they do.
