I know the ITV channels do carry "teleshopping" and or nightscreen but most as far as I know do close .... its just annoys me personally is the "give up" approach and resort to the cack thats thrown on and speaking from what I remember from the 90's they either ran "non stop" into the night or just closed .... but I guess some need "revenue" coming in ..... yes who is actually BENEFITING here ... it aint the viewers regarding the state of UK programming at the moment ITV the worst offender of all with all the "reality" cack manifesting on ITV1 and ITV2 ... i'll be glad to see all this stuff gone and get something more decent on!





Fulfilling OFCOM requirements over viewer satisfaction.
) but PROFITS must come FIRST than VIEWER SATISFACTION sadly .... oh well TV networks will be heading for a big bang shortly and I for one can't wait (programming wise I mean)
