Thanks Fez, yeah i went for an audition, fucked up the first one, so went and auditioned again, see the hate thread in GTFO.
Ah well, i'll say it again, how could anyone compete with Nicky Watson.

Quite easily in my opinion. I don't see what anyone sees in Nicky Watson. She looks like a fish.
I'm excited about Alt TV though - should be good.

The guy that was doing all the auditioning was fairly young and relativley hot, my guess is that they wanted to hire people that A. would be nice to look at in the studio (not that i'm not, modestly saying so) and B. that viewers would tune in just to watch i.e. hot girls who were good in front of the camera.
Unfortunatley i think a lot of guys out there do like nicky watson, again, i agree with you, i dont know why, she's two bowling balls on a rake with a face like a trout, but she will get people tuning in so smart move on Alt's behalf.
Plus shes had TV experience before, lots of it. Myself, not quite to her level, and so.............i sit here defeated by the trout mouth. *sigh*. Enjoy kiddies, i don't think i'll be able to.
EDIT// Okaaaay, so i guess i sound a little bitter, hmmmm, methinks i shall go have a wine or two.............or three, that oughta get rid of it.

Agreed! They have a "swishifying" effect on people.

Shows are hosted by 36 presenters. Apart from one or two names, like a rock show hosted by Nicky Watson, they are largely unknown. They'll get paid when their show attracts a sponsor.
It's the same volunteer culture that helped grow George FM. "That means having milk in the fridge and beer on a Friday," says Kirby, who clearly appreciates the support.
But it is a commercial enterprise and, with Sky Television's $30 million bid to buy Prime New Zealand putting a value on that UHF channel's viewers, Kirby thinks Alt TV may have planted its flag on valuable territory.
"BCL said with our potential viewership, the frequency we have is worth in the $4 million range," says Kirby. "We're just waiting for [Rupert] Murdoch to take us to lunch." |
