What about the other side of the coin? To get any callers at all they first need to have viewers.

We on this forum probably represent the diehards of their viewing public, and many of our members have said that they no longer watch or call because of the OSG obstructions and the ad interruptions. If we're this pissed off it's a fair bet that a very large proportion of casual viewers (i.e. potential callers), most of whom don't even know this forum exists, take one look and quickly flick over to another channel and never come back. Cellcast might well be losing far more business than any they're creating. 'Babestation' claims that receipts are up, but with ever more viewers turning to digital and discovering the channels for the first time, that's almost inevitable.

In this ever-moving market they have no way of judging the true effect of their actions.

As it is now evident that the pre-Xmas promise of revised graphics was just a fob-off in an attempt to keep us quiet, could one of you please get a message of some sort to the studio crew asking them to tell the cameramen about the existence and position of the black boxes?

Thanks.
