Show notes for episode 39 on Channel [V].
The episode title is taken from The Cruel Sea song Takin’ All Day. It’s supposed to reflect how it was a 24 music channel.
I worked for Channel [V] in the later years and I was there when they wanted to stop it from being a 24 hour music channel. What was even the point? Just rename the channel then. God there were some idiots there. Lots of great people, some idiots.
I could have possibly written more about the years I was there. There were some big characters. Lots of people who I respected a lot. But that was the story of a different time and for a different time. But thanks to everyone who I worked with there, except those 2 dickheads who everyone hated. You can fuck off.
