wow,
I did`nt know that was starting so soon, I thought it was around June.
Now that its getting closer I may have to connect up the set top box I bought myself for xmas, which is still in the box, as I consider, what the
new digital channels are already offering, are just old programs that I saw last century.
Do you know whether the Owner of Wintv had anything to do with setting
this one up too. I heard that his *fighting committee* have some great ideas
for new programs. Now all those young people who have to go to Bunbury University to do Media Studies, may have a chance to learn, from someone local. I wonder if the students at the Academy of Performing Arts, and the Eistoffed (not sure how that`s spelt sorrry) will have their shows produced for this channel, as it won`t cost as much as the commercial channels, will it?:)
