All it needs is some strobe effects

You would’ve thought after 4ME and Fresh Ideas TV they’d try something new.

Judging by that promo video, seems like there’s a number of ex-TVSN presenters involved with this new channel

when they’ve got a shopping empire throwing money at them for access to broadcast spectrum, how are they going to say no

With this Open Shop channel happening, will advertorials cease on shows like The Morning Show and The Daily Edition? :stuck_out_tongue:

I know that answer will be a NO, but always wishful thinking there. lol.

As much as we all don’t like these shopping channels popping up, if they are making money for the networks, then I don’t blame them for having them. Most of us flick past them anyway. haha.

I’ll probably watch Open Shop about as often as I tune into TVSN - virtually never. Might cop the very occasional glimpse while flicking through the channels but that’s about it really.

No doubt Seven will be having their fingers, toes and everything else crossed that their latest venture into the TV home shopping market performs better than 4ME & Fresh Ideas TV did!

Indeed. Same deal with the off-peak screenings of infomercials on the normal channels.

What typeface did they use to create the logo

Back in the country last night and re-scanned to find this has appeared on the Seven multiplex in Melbourne. Label is openshop - no LCN and no video at this stage

openshop has finally made a tentative appearance in the Seven Brisbane and regional Qld multiplexes.

Currently just an LCN and EPG but no transport stream associated. Some tuners are managing to pick it up. LCN 75 except Sunshine Coast north where it is 65.

It’ll be removed from my channel line up the moment it appears.

For anyone at all interested, proof that there’s also space for Open Shop on the multiplex in Sydney:

Going by the EPG, it seems that the channel will launch at 12.30am on Thursday with the first (and presumably, pre-recorded) program being for the Oslo Frypan with a “Welcome” program at 7.30am.

My Sony Bravia LCD has it, but not my bigger yet older Panasonic Viera… Yes I know I need to update, but both have and still do serve me so well

You shouldn’t need to update until the device actually becomes faulty.

Never seen a ghost in the guise of a clock before.

Try looking to the right of the clock into the dark grey then look down.

Yep, there certainly is a ghost there. Anyone know a good Exorcist?
