I rarely watch free TV anymore. I’m sure I am not alone. There is less and less to watch.
7Two does have a few good things on it (Air Crash Investigations, Bargain Hunt etc…) but it has always to me been a free version of UKTV with fewer 1st run shows.
Go! and Gem are full of repeats and failures from 9.
Seven has done a much better deal of programming it’s secondary channels and not cannibalising their own audience.
