Fair bit airs on FOX Classics

One such initiative is the âQ Breakâ, or quick break. At the start or end of a program â not during it â Foxtel will run a three-second explainer, followed by two six-second ads.
The âM Breakâ, or minute break, follows a similar format. It involves running two 30-second TVCs before jumping back to the program.

I got over excited when i read that Foxtel was going to enhance the viewing experience. I thought they were going to reduce the 52 minutes worth of ads they play every hour.

I hate when channels do this, just show the ads, there is no need to tell me Iâm going to see an ad the next second.

From Mediaweek - When the reel ended, Delany said. âAnd thatâs just the start. There are more Fox channels to come.â

lol
they should just name it:
FOX REPEATS (sells it self)
FOX COMMERCIALS (sponsors and infomercials)
FOX CRAP (anything that has been produced by Rupert owned companies over the last 20 years)
FOX PERTH (which is the plus2 time shift channel)
Linear pay TV channels wonât survive beyond 2025.

âWhat Women Want!â
WTF???
Why do they do that? So they want to keep male viewers away from these channels now?
So stupid!!!

Itâs advertising talk, which is exactly what last nights Foxtel event was for. Their targeted audience for the channel/s are overwhelmingly skewed female, with programming to suit.
Of course anyone can watch the channels and a diverse range of people might find the content interesting but theyâre just highlighting a specific demographic here.
Kind of like how 10 bang on about under 50âs audience, but people over the age of 50 might really enjoy their content too.
A non issue really, no need to be outraged.

Is Lifestyle getting a new logo, or is that just for the purpose of that Graphic?

New logo
Foxtel should also brand a Channel as âWhat Men Wantâ
Actually why stop there? This could catch on everywhere:
- Triple M: What Bogans Want
- Alan Jones: What Women Donât Want
- Rove: What No One Wants
- Netflix: What Foxtel Donât Want

The current Lifestyle branding only lasted three years but Iâm gad theyâre getting rid of it. That chevron/heart/tick/whatever the hell it is element has always annoyed me.
Not sure why they felt the need to ascribe those channels solely to women in that presentation. Did they miss the controversy last year when Ten attempted to assign genders to Boss and Cumquat? Iâm more likely to be watching one of the Lifestyle channels than a sport or doco channel on the odd occasion I fire up the Foxtel these days and my junk was still attached last time I looked.

I can understand why an Australian commercial network wouldnât be interested in airing this despite the enduring popularity of the series. A renovation show that doesnât constantly feature product placement and contrived scenes with the participants shopping at a homewares store chain or taking a break at a fast food franchise would be a step too far for our networks.

The renovation shows on 9Life seem to generally have any promotional logos blurred out.

Itâs seems to me that Fox cricket isnât committed to womenâs cricket though. They donât show oversees tours, they only simulcast the WBBL and Womenâs home international matches.

They have a lot of more important matches to show then womenâs cricket. Unless they want to spend bend the big bucks and do a Fox Cricket for women, (which would be a financial waste) just like the Womenâs league is.
