Which 1 r u most looking forward 2?

Why, oh why, must people type like this? I am not specifically having a go at cupthehand but this just annoys the crap out of me.

SMS messages have an awful lot to answer for. I was really surprised at the BBC a while back when they had a text night which actively promoted the mutilation of the language.

By the way, I did't vote in this poll as I couldn't care less.

I voted P-Rock but who is launching it? Is it another Emap channel?

The only other option that should be there is Atari Jaguar!!
I would've voted for that straight away!

Sorry bout the lack of any other option but sure jaysus gimme a chance it was my first time posting a poll

P-Rock TV will transmit 24 hours a day. The channel will include a weekly chart show, along with special programmes focusing on bands and labels in the scene.
"It will play contemporary as well as old, never seen before and classic punk rock video clips. You'll be able to see videos rarely shown and loads of punk and rock videos that have never seen the light of day in the UK and Ireland before." States the Metal Hammer magazine.

Although to be honest I don't know for sure if it is in fact an E-Map channel I very much doubt it.
Hopefully anyway its not they've spoilt enough of the EPG as it is

I call it cross-pollination

Welcome along

Is Simply Asian another one of Adam Faith's Simply Shopping Channels?
It is on test, and doesn't look like a shopping channel. Poor video quality.

Rapture went bust. Somebody else is supposed to be relaunching it. The test card has been there forever.

Can't somebody hack the Vbulitain code so that polls always have a "none of the above" option?
(Cridland on Media UK is probabily the expert)
