Skipping around the TV channels the other night I came across “Polish Radio London 24″. I wasn’t specifically looking to ‘watch’ a radio station, as I think it’s an odd thing to do, never mind the extra energy consumption used in running it through the TV (carbon footprint, rising energy costs and all that). Anyway, I gave it at least 10 minutes as I was intrigued by the description - “A compilation of the best rock tunes to come out of Poland in the last twenty years”.

I questioned whether a station could fill 24 hours with famous Polish rock tunes from the last 20 years, but then they probably follow the same formula as many other niche channels, repeating the programming on a rolling basis. (I’m sure the Polish Rock Music +1 channel will follow soon just in case you miss anything). Sadly, the music wasn’t Polish or even rock - just a mix of Euro trash house - so I switched over.

Back in 2005 the BBC asked “Do we need any more digital TV channels?” Personally I think I’m missing “UKTV Food, excluding celebrities pretending to be chefs, or anything with Ainsley Harriot, Anthony Worrell Thompson or Gary Rhodes 24 +1” channel.

What would your TV channel be?
