Is your National TV channel any good?

As far as I can guess,India's national TV Doordarshan is the worst...pathetic to say the least.All the programs are pure crap...and I cant even begin to describe the programs which are on air on it...Nothing comedy about the comedy soaps...no suspense in detective serials...and sick-to-death drama in all the drama soaps

And the DD News channel is also the worst news channel I've ever seen...the news reporters at the event venue and the ones in the studio have no contact most of the times...they both stare at the cameras blank-minded...and it looks very funny...I'd rather prefer watching DD news than any comedy soap...

Only silver lining is the free Cricket Coverage of all the Indian Cricket matches...but the Fourth Umpire program is also the worst

Well I cant remember all the things about our great National TV right now but I think my Indian friends here will second me and come up with some other stuff...meanwhile let us know how is your National TV channel?

We have five Channels... they`re OK I guess. Pretty crap when it comes to some sports, like International Tours for Cricket.

In Australia we have ABC, SBS, Channel 7, Channel 9 and Channel 10. ABC is the government run one, SBS is the boring, newsy-old people one, which sometimes runs good shows.

Channel 7, 9 and 10 are pretty much the same. Of course they have their upsides...

Channel 7 - Lost, Desperate Housewives
Channel 9 - Wide World of Sports
Channel 10 - Cricket, Footy, Simpsons, the OC

Etc. There's other shows aswell, some of those shows people may think are crap. But yeah, it's pretty good. I've lived in Indonesia, the Phillipines and Hong Kong, and Australia probably has the best free TV, though the cable TV in all four countries is awesome...

This part : Lara was for an extremely large part of his career extremely inconsistent, even if the averages say that he`s not.


I mean, it makes sense.

Your Country's National TV......

.....sucks !!

Of course, some "patriotic" countrymen will "defend" by saying Pakistani TV sucks more !! As if it matters to me how Pakistani TV is :sleep:

But then anything that is controlled by the government is despicable so no reason why the TV should be any different :mellow:

Don't have any basis for this statement, but I think NRK1 (the national channel here) is the only national channel in continental Europe that have ever broadcasted an ODI. So for that, they get ten points. Apart from that, it's the normal state-produced infotainment mix - some humour, some news, lots and lots of sports. NRK2 was supposed to be very cultural in the beginning, but has now turned into a music video channel most of the time and replays the other times (tho they do show Black Adder and Monty Python's Flying Circus these days). Then there's TV2 - lots of crap reality shows, almost never watch that unless there's a football match with Glimt or Norway. TVNorge is even worse than TV2, amazingly - 24 hours of American TV or music videos.

The channel I watch the most is Eurosport, but that's not national...

Sorry. I should have clarified.

Everything business activity that private enterprise or private individuals can do but the Government insists on controlling sucks :)
