Just heard Rae Carpenter mention on-air that this is her last week at Gems. How many more established presenters can this channel lose? Over the past year or so, Steve Bennett has lost a lot of experienced and very well-liked presenters, closed the US channel (yet again) and 'shrunk' the number of channels in the UK operation (closing the Diamond channel that he was so vocal about when it opened, but which resembled a train wreck when it operated). He is now left with a seemingly ever- diminishing number of experienced presenters and too many presenters with little or no charisma, in my view, and shows that are increasingly 'shouty' and hard-sell. And I notice they are now selling perfume and candles!
I think the writing's on the wall for this channel. Bye, Steve.
