If that is the case, why hasn't BBC1 also seen a 35% drop in
viewers?
How has BBC1 managed to hold onto so many of its viewers when all
the
other channels have lost them?

Ooh. Now there's a tricky question. Well let's see. Which channel:
is owned by a British company, and makes British programmes for a
British audience?
is available to terrestrial, cable and satellite viewers?
is the first one to be seen when opening any TV guide?
does not have to put breaks in all its programmes for adverts?
does not incur any additional payments in orde to be viewed?
has an international reputation for producing?
has less than 10% of repeated material?

Answers on a postcard...


ITV(1), Ch4, Ch5? Seriously it is NOT BBC1 (or BBC2) as it most
certainly DOES incur additional payment - the TVL...

Do you know what the word "additional" actually means?

How about "does not have to put breaks in all its programmes for
adverts?"

No?

Never mind...

You just don't get it do you, if you appease something (or someone)
they will not change, they will take your silence as acceptance.

Which brings me back to my original question: how are YOU changing BBC
policy on DOGs by persistently moaning about them on this group?

Please quote anything that ANYONE has said that labels them as a DOG
lover.

Why else would they want to stifle discussion of them?

Because 689 posts on the same bleeding subject is BORING and you've
achieved NOTHING.

Oh for Gods sake.
Noone here loves DOGs.
We don't think they are great and wish every channel would have them.
We just somehow manage to ignore them, and don't think they are the
end of the world. We don't find that their presence is cause to cease
watching any television programmes.

All the people who have stopped watching Sky One and the Scifi channel
would disagree with you.

No they wouldn't. I stopped watching Sky One because it's no longer
available on cable. I stopped watching the SciFi Channel because there are
no programmes I want to watch on it.

Have you carried out a survey to back up your claims? Please submit your
evidence for such a statement. I, for one, am proof that your assertion is
incorrect.

Because it's boring?

Where are the BARB figures that show an increase in viewers coinciding
with the introduction of extra screen junk?

Where are the BARB figures that refute it?

Exactly the same here. SciFi Channel's total crap these days...

there are no programmes I want to watch on it.

And we cancelled our subscription to Sky (thus losing SciFi as well)
because we worked out that we watched so few programmes on
subscription channels that it would be cheaper to buy them on DVD.

I'm another.

No, reply, how surprising.

And you never replied to my question: What do you hope to achieve HERE
by persistently moaning about the DOG? I'll answer it for you shall I,
considering the truth is too embarrassing for you: You and Jerry are
just a couple of pseudo intellectuals showing off, who have latched on
to dismissing something as pointless and crass as the DOGs in order to
make you look intellectually superior. Yes, we get it boys; now STFU
about it.

But it is only a minor part of the screen. The DOG appears in a
corner.

Only if the programme is broadcast in 4x3 mode or you are watching on a
4x3 set using 'centre' mode. Otherwise the DOG is normally quite a way
from the left side of the picture.
