TVs (that's televisions) in pubs

[ROBCamra]

Just had a thought. Is it possible that successful pub cos could organise their own TV station ? Such as those gormless radio stations you find in supemarkets. Perish the thought.

Punch Taverns could show boxing all day.

Enterprise Inns could show Star Trek.

Ember Inns could show Fireman Sam.

JDW could show the Weather channel.

I'm sure there's loads more.

I think, sadly, most will end up showing the BBC News channel - so totally depressing

Winchesterclub - Minder

Hondo - Silent Witness, or Take the High Road

Mankey Badger - Tales form the Riverbank

Apres chain - Ski Sunday

Oh dear, I can picture some bright PubCo executive who just happened to stumble across this thread and is at this minute rushing off to Tim Martins office with a great new idea in the hope of getting a promotion.

JDWTV will probably be coming soon. At least we'll all know who to blame.

I seem to remember he was one of the suggested hosts in another thread. Maybe it is an attempt to get a job.

That is the problem when Arwkrite is allowed to dry out...he goes all Corporate. I can remember when I had brilliant ideas ( I used to nick em out of books ). Then I took a look at whose ar£3672£ I was sniffing and I thought why bother . I was hoping to go cold turkery, I am starving and some turkey soup would be favourite.

Hondo - Silent Witness, or Take the High Road

Hondo strikes me as more your "chewin' the fat" type (although younger) rather than all that short bread tin stuff, if that's not insulting an Embra person with too much West coast prejudice.

Like the Silent Witness bit though, spot on pal, tacturn Scotsman or what?

Old Boots - Wainwrights Walks

More like the ever cheerful Rebus

There are already some pubs that use their screens for advertising special offers, events etc. The Hop Poles in Hammersmith is one and I think the Steam Passage in Islington also does it.

[Soup Dragon]

A few places locally have started doing that - rather they switched them off.

Pubsignman - A Picture of Britain

TV programs

runningdog - huckleberry hound

oggwyn trench - time team
