I was reading an article on seenit today (it’s fast becoming my favourite entertainment news site) when I read that there is a possible merger on the table between Five and Four!

Five has been a damp squib ever since it launched but Four at least has some (if on the slide) credibility .

Seenit say :

Most commentators think this is an unlikely deal and some claim the authorities would block it on the grounds of reduced competition.

To be honest I think some reduced competition might be a good thing, we have far to many channels spreading what little quality entertainment far too thinly… take the multitude of BBC Channels… why do we need BBC Four? It seems to me anything of value on BBC Four used to get broadcast on BBC2 and the same could be said for Three… too little quality too many channels.

Meanwhile the article that informed me of this possible merger is well worth a read; it seems Five are digging deeper into a pit of moral dubiousness
