It's starting to annoy me as well. Especially when you visit the London Live thread and some of the videos are of obscure US local channels which don't add nothing to the debate.

It's more the constant complaints about how things over here are being done wrong, not necessarily because of a lacking in what is done, but because it's not being done in the American way. That and his inability to take any form of criticism of American television.

Oh yes, he can't grasp that we don't exactly need the US style weather alert broadcast system either. I think all of us agree over there that London Live needs change, but not exactly to the American format he craves.

It's a bit of a shame as he doesn't seem to get the fact it's primarily a UK forum. Most of his posts would be fine if he created US or 'North American' threads, but the constant diverting the topic in question really gets to me now.

He clearly has a deep knowledge of small stations, and posted some really good pics of studios and sets etc and news music.

However, the defensive tone he takes and his "H8rs" comment just irritate me.

Surprised they didn't list the exact time and second they left the building and where they lived.

I took it as an attempted form of sarcasm in response to the post of "Where is Huw going after he leaves the studio?" but maybe I was wrong.

I assumed it was creepy because it was posted by BBC News Fix, who finds no pleasure greater than that obtained when noting down who presented the 8:30 - 11:00 shift on the BBC News Channel and if there is a reason Anakin McVeigh is doing that shift and not her rightful evening shift.

Alright own up!

Who suggested the Sit-Up TV thread be split in to a rota thread?
