Programming perfection?
Dr Mumbo was struck by the humility of the networks in their response to a poll on TV Tonight in which two out of three awarded themselves 10 out of 10 for the accuracy of their electronic programming guides…
Only Nine was humble enough to mark itself down to eight, the lowest score of all networks, as Andrew Backwell admitted: “In terms of us putting dodgy information in the EPGs –I’m not saying it hasn’t happened in the past, and I’ve been guilty of it– you have to have respect for the viewers. I know everyone thinks we don’t. But we really try to.”
Foxtel, SBS and ABC1/2 all awarded themselves 9/10.
