KT on TV

[Neil Calton <nbc@vd.rl.ac.uk>]

Kate Bush live at Hammersmith Odeon was shown on Central TV (the ITV company
covering the Midlands) on saturday. That's the good news, the bad news is that
it was broadcast at 2.55 am. Obviously, the TV company thinks all Kate fans
are either insomniacs or owners of video recorders. Actually, a few of the ITV
companies and Channel 4 are venturing into late night/early morning TV for the
first time and are filling these newly available hours with a variety of
material (though mainly films). 

However, the Kate concert only merited a single line in TV Times (the
programme listings) and no details were printed, no photos etc.
I would probably have missed it if one of the local free papers had not
highlighted it and printed a picture of Kate on their TV page. Clearly
Central TV were merely filling space and not making a deliberate attempt to
entice Kate fans or anyone seriously interested in getting to see her work.

Be seeing you.
