THey haven't arrived here yet, due to the horrors of privatised postal services...

John and Plasmo, I hate to criticise Your Organisation, but it's struck me lately how very lame their TV advertising is at the moment. Take, for instance, oh, just at random, the ad for the online service, that promises things like "loads of info on your favourite shows". Loads of info? Wow, I must go to that website right now! That it finishes with some hopeful-sounding rhetorical question like "what will you find there?" Well, I don't know, why don't you bloody tell me? I realise neither of you has anything to do with this, but still, it must be frustrating to have a great product and have it lousily promoted. (Or perhaps you disagree...? With the lousy promotion bit, obviously, not the great product bit.)

You lucky people to have Buffy tape smugglers!
I have to confess I didn't hear about the german woman being eaten by a crocodile- and while I don't read the newspapers I do hear the BBC news most days, so it can't have got much coverage over here. Funny how they decide what's big news, isn't it?

I can't speak for Plasmo -- who caught the logging industry trying to rig one of our online polls the other day, cool! -- but yeah. The advertising is lame.
But we have a fundamental problem with the website.
People see that we have a website (we're almost universally known as a TV and radio broadcaster, for people who don't know) often just assume that we have details of TV and radio shows there.
We do.
But we have literally hundreds of thousands of pages of other, online-only stuff.
Going back seven years.
They don't see other broadcasters doing that, because their websites are just there to back up the TV and radio programs. What we are is an independant third information network.
If you'd like to let us know how to communicate that to the public quickly and simply, you'll have solved our number one problem.
