No punches intended Stuart

Your not in a C4 chat room Chris and I'd rather you spoke really frankly rather than pull punches. There is no right or wrong here, I think both C4 and the wider creative community in NI want more action and more diverse action.

Hi there, I was at the Channel 4 Commissions conference at the Waterfront, back in Sept, and the key problem they discussed with the lack of commissions is that big commissioners like C4 and BBC are not looking for just TV, they're looking for the w…

I felt the process was a bit gentle Una, as a broadcaster I had gone expecting a much more challenging time, I suspect that it was just too much to discuss - news, regional TV, network production, digital media, indigenous language and the all-Irela…

TV Industry in Northern Ireland

The NI Select Committee of MPs met in Belfast yesterday to hear evidence for its Inquiry into TV broadcasting in Northern Ireland. The submissions from journalists and producers representatives' the NUJ and Pact both highlighted the low moral in the local industry due to a combination of redundancies and lack of network commissions. It would be good to hear of any suggestions to boost the industry in Northern Ireland just now

TV Broadcasting in Northern Ireland

To quote from Sean O'Casey's 'The Plough and the Stars', TV Broadcasting in Northern Ireland is "in a state of chasis". But don't take my word for it - here are the reports to the House of Commons inquiry by the NI Select Committeee.

'too techy' your right - we've always fought against that aspect of our work. We've been in the business for 14 years now and we still see internet technology disguised as a new type of magic controled by a male elite. Secret language, uniforms, coolness taken to extremes. Can you tell you've pressed the right button? ":)
