Step right up...
They monetised tv by giving it away, awe
The inverse devil-in-the-detail shoe drops...
Freeview pay-per-view may arrive in time for Christmas
Freeview is now only used to let people watch free digital television. But chief executive Sam Irvine said all FreeviewHD set-top boxes and Freeview-certified TVs with broadband ports sold since mid-2010 could support an "interactive channel" that could play videos on demand.
These could be either free or charged for by broadcasters. "We are a free platform but there is nothing to say someone couldn't [charge]."The large print giveth and
the small print taketh away...(apologies to Tom Waits)

Demo graphics...
The Audience has a confusing logo - what idea is driving it?
Is that a bandwagon wheel, a tape reel, a pizza, a pie chart, a ruddy miscoloured lemon or a curious orange?
Or is it a focus for crowd sourced push play or a radiating hub broadcasting to the inner circle...One assumes the voting is limited to one vote per user per song, and that users are tracked by email address or IP address so one person can't create multiple accounts to get extra votes.
Still, good on 'em, a nice initiative, put all the released and unreleased artists in a big box and let them 'juke' it out...

Ripped from today's headlines...
Tiger (black) and Leo (ginger) like to play in our not-very-old peach tree at dusk. ... and generally supervising the neighbourhood.

They say it takes a village to raise a child
and a community to lower a cat...

What goes around...
Dear DJ MC Coskrie, PolyGramy is a fraught, but rich topic, it was created by renowned screwers, Philips, in 1945 as their Vinyl Solution, it partied hard, fast & loose with Disco, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees and the Village People till 1999 when it got into the bed of the gin-soaked Seagram rum running empire and finally merged into Vivendi's Universal Music Group (UMG) - so many partners, so few scruples...... or did I read that awrong?

Hard News: Reading the Numbers, in reply to Ken Sparks,
Elementary my dear, what's on?
They’ve never promoted it or provided programme listings for publication.
To be fair The Press in Chchch has run TVNZ7 listing for quite some time, if not from the outset. Though I wonder what will take its place when the plug is pulled - maybe they will run the TV1 +1 hour listing, but in an ironic and sarcastic way....
