"...Gary Barlow is on R2 brekkie show tomorrow. They also discussed LIS on Ken Bruce's show today. BBC TV certainly gets some help from BBC radio..."

What do you infer by this? It was this I took particular offence at which is why I had to pick up on it.

BBC Television and Radio covers ALL content across all channels and broadcasters in a fair way.
How did it offend you? Other than being loyal to the BBC, what they said was in no way personal.

I think its more likely being a BBC radio station their priorities are more with the BBC, and will use it when needed. Otherwise surely they'd be having one of TVUK judges on. I'm pretty sure they would have done before previous seres.

This is simply untrue. Of course BBC Radio will reference BBC content elsewhere, but it also references content and performers on rival networks too. Do rival networks do the same regarding BBC content?

I don't mind when things are factually accurate but it is right to challenge when things are unfairly implied.

Radio 2 did a two part documentary on Simon Cowell recently. Radio 4's Media Show interviewed Pierce Morgan the other week too.

This regarding The Voice on the BBC's website:

You're asking me what I inferred from my own post? I don't think it quite works like that.

So is it a fact that BBC TV gets help from BBC radio? Yes? Well then it's not lacking in fact now, is it?

A lack of balance? Did I go on to say that "to be fair" the station was interviewing Kara Tointon - one of the stars of ITV The Halcyon - on the Steve Wright show? Is that showing a lack of balance in need of addressing?
You seemed to miss that bit out when you quoted me.


But alas, you took offence by my post. I am sorry, I do forget how hurtful my words can be, especially on such sensitive subjects.
