Batting for the other side

mediaroar has been feeling rather guilty recently.

Yes, yes, I have been as faithful to my blog as Bill Clinton was to the next President Senator Hilary.

mediaroar has also been feeling bad for his old chums at ITV. Falling share prices, no boss and as popular as Christiano Ronaldo in Kent.

Whispers were heard over the last week. "wait and see, we have an announcement that will knock your socks off"

mediaroar was not too excitited at the thought of ITV5.

Lo and behold, mediaroar's socks were well and truly knocked off. ITV have only gone and poached the BBC's big Kahuna!












(michael Grade, probably safer in Najaf than white city.)

Michael Grade has worked, well, everywhere. ITV, BBC, Channel 4, Hollywood, BBC ... It's a bit like mediaroar's C.V. with proper jobs.

Competition is great. Hope is great. ITV is not great, but things can change.

So what would it take to buy this man's loyalty prise a top exec away from his dear BBC?
mediaroar likes to think it was that this man simply couldn't resist 8 million big ones the challenge. If anyone can do it, Michael can.

mediaroar offers this caution to the newly crowned busiest man in Britain: While this will make a fantastic, and early, 64th birthday present, careful the stress doesn't get too much Mikey, after all - you can't take it with you...

mediaroar wishes Mr Grade the best of british with his new project, and also to the Beeb, who are now, probably, nervously eager, waiting to see how much money the government will let them add to the licence fee - and they have lost their bulldog.


grrrr x

Do you earn more than Michael grade? Something in the media pissed on your chips? Are you still watching lost?
