This happened today...
![[Image: FSfKPBjXwAEIX_K?format=jpg&name=large]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSfKPBjXwAEIX_K?format=jpg&name=large) It was a really great chat, and it'll be available to download next week.
I'm on Andover Radio every Saturday afternoon from 4pm-6pm. Follow me on Twitter.

Looking forward to it. Wonder if we can get it heard by more people than watch his TV direction these days

Not sure if Vanessa understood what had happened as she didn’t seem to get Jeremy’s “are we on the right show” quip shortly after.

Is Vanessa Felta some sort of super human presenter? Not many people would present a live TV show in the evenings, then get up for 4am to do a radio show and then another one at 7am. She's probably popping up on This Morning tomorrow too
Crazy schedule... does her voicemail outgoing message just say 'yes I'll do it'?

I thought that - but she did at least wait for the VO to finish - but seemed stuck in 'read the autocue' mode so didn't want to make light of it...

Not sure how serious it was, but there were articles doing the rounds saying she was interested in the Countdown job!

Vanessa also occasionally covers others' radio programmes during holidays - she's presented a few weeks' worth of Jeremy Vine on Radio 2, for example. Notably, she was down to present JV on the day on which Prince Phillip's passing was announced. She was giving details of upcoming discussion topics on that day's programme and inviting listeners' calls before being yanked off air mid-sentence.
"Good evening. Dull, grey, cold, miserable - and that's just me. The weather hasn't been great, either."
Had to laugh at her doing the agony aunt role (as she regularly does) for This Morning about "Neighbours at war" and her advice to all three callers basically being to put up with it. Heck, maybe her neighbours are nightmares hence she is always working.
As for ratings - the Guardian raise an interesting point that TV channels getting zero viewers nowadays is far from a unique thing and that TalkTV is just another in the dozens, perhaps hundreds, of channels which have existed for years on very low viewership. Suspect it has by far the highest budget though. https://amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...s-watching

Yes, there's so many channels that not all of them will be watched to a measurable level (I always think that there will always be someone, somewhere watching any channel on the EPG but of course it's just not in a Barb household). However as the article says its the profile of the programme that makes it notable.
Piers Morgan/Talk TV and before it GB News both launched with big budgets, a lot of publicity and also a lot of bragging from massive egos about how they were going to shake things up. Neither lived up to the hype when they launched. But it will pass and even if ratings don't pick up the attention and jokes about low ratings will soon move to the next new ventre.

A little late with this but Adam Boulton was introduced by Jayne Secker as a 'political commentator' on Sky News just before the Queen's Speech. I know he did overnight local election coverage last week on Times Radio, but this shows he's not exclusive to News UK. Seemed right at home!
