Default People who "brand" channels should be fired

On this week's Heresy, about 5:30 into the Listen Again stream, there
is a classic comment from David Mitchell...

"There's a whole profession of people who think that branding channels
is actually a job. It shouldn't be a job - they should all be fired".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/heresy.shtml

I thought some of the DOG and similar "presentation intrusion" haters
in this group would enjoy that.

Cheers,
David.

I'm surprised that pres' allowed the programme to air, perhaps they
were kept in the dark as to the content?!...

On Tilt on BBC7 a while ago there was a sketch about News24 where
someone was trying to read the news and kept getting interupted by
people shouting NEWS24, TICKER TAPE SAYS ... , and PRESS RED FOR
INTERACTIVE NEWS every few seconds.


Yeh, but the co-presenter, normally the bimbo, does that on the real
channel anyway... :~(

In my case, people who do that are fired.

BBC - you're fired.
Sky - you're fired.
ITV - don't even waste my time.

Come back to me when you don't turn up at my house / office with DOG-**** on
you.

a radio station like R1 or 2 were DJs quite often hand over to the
next DJ....
