Digital summer

Australian summer television will be interesting this year with the recent addition of multiple new free-to-air digital channels. Will we be bored or will there be some bearable repeats to watch of sitcoms and movies we've watched dozens of times already? It's definetely exciting now with 7mate, 7TWO, GEM and GO! in the picture for the upcoming summer.

Laughable advertising

Channel Ten promoted the movie Wall Street was next - just 10 minutes into the movie Mrs Doubtfire which aired at 6.30pm. It was funny to see a promotion for the next program so soon into the movie.

Why do television stations they keep doing this? So many times when a program has started, often in the first lot of advertisements the upcoming program is advertised as 'next' even though there's three quarters left of the current program. Advertisers should at least wait until half way to promote the next program. What do you think?
