Blimey thats ridiculous :mysmilie_81: I was quite enjoying seeing adina on freeview and now in such a quick space of time they have left again - this is a joke. What shall we call it "musical jewelllery shopping channels" ie who will next be on channel 32 when the siren blows. I am still a rocks and co fan (well of course I am thats my nickname), but it doesnt exactly show gems tv in a good light now does it - maybe they are gonna go bust! :mysmilie_61:

Blimey, wish they'd make their minds up!!!

Yes I agree with u, what a mess up. Who is to blame? Is it gems tv for example did they drop ch 32 on freeview coz they werent making the money they hoped for, or was ch 32 on freeview costing gemstv too much to be on it, or maybe its simply that next week we will get another jewellery channel on ch 32 , maybe rocks.tv, who knows! :mysmilie_61:

If this did happen, it would be bad as people would loose their jobs, but good as we might not have to see Jame Russell again!! :mysmilie_61:

It's strange, as TJC seem to have dropped off 84, as well!

I noticed the other night that they weren't on C.32 and I was a bit disappointed, I like having the visuals on while i read my book. Surely this must be down to 'unforeseen circumstances', because it looks awful to just be on Freeview for only a week. A bit like taking a job and leaving after a month, kwim?

I know nothing about the broadcasting industry, but this just seems totally bizarre. Surely getting a slot on Freeview (or indeed any other platform) takes time and negotiation, and once you'd signed a contract you'd be locked into it for a set period. It's not like buying a jumper from M&S, then deciding when you got it home that it didn't suit you and taking it back a week later. As for customer base, that would surely build up over time as people discovered that they were there.

The only thing I can think of was that this slot was only ever available for this very short time and Gems rented it at a knock-down price in the hope of picking up a few extra customers for a small outlay. If that was the case, they should have said it was temporary when they went onto Freeview - otherwise it just makes them look daft.

They are on channel 84 tonight but didn"t come on till about 12:10am but assume that was CNN"s fault.

Ah, I see. I thought they'd gone as they took the Channel 84 details off their graphics for a while.

 

[Definiteness]

the replacement for Gems TV on Freeview is Babestation, on channel 99...

 

[Interactivetelly]

I'm puzzled by this thread as I have just been entertained by the new casual look James Russell on Gems TV on Freeview channel 39. I think the hours are midnight to 2 am.
In answer to the esteemed Plasmanoodle I also spotted Ian Gardner on TJC on channel 84 just before 2am

Doh just seen page 2 of this thread - and yes Graham James Russell is er interesting.
