i have been off work so have been watching lots of tv. every day this week, the same programs have been on at the same time every day! the only different one is the saddle club which i actually love! canter banter has had the same one repeated everyday this week!! are things really that bad for them?
 
I find their website very ' bitty' so many headlines and all seem on a loop. Very confusing.

Am also confused about hickstead coverage, some seems to be highlights and really late at night ie 11pm - 1am on friday. Only live actions seems to be sunday for the actual derby.
 
We've had Sky, and therefore H&C for over 2 years now, and it has never failed to constantly show repeat after repeat! And I don't even watch much television!!:mad::rolleyes:
 
Couldn't agree more! They also tend to repeat stuff I'm really not that bothered about!! Wouldn't mind watching some of the dressage masterclasses over, but never seem to catch them :mad:

They really need some new shows!!
 
Totally agree, I love when they do the odd masterclass and really enjoyed at home with Carl Hester but I hate all the team fredricks rubbish
 
Wholeheartedly agree. I think they change their program list once a week, so if you watch the same program within a 7 day period chances are youre going to get a repeat of what youve already watched. They also repeat the same series over and over again. Would be good to get some new material for us to watch. I rarely even check the channel these days.
 
It's been like that since it launched however many years ago!! I think everyone has left and the station is on autopilot looping Monty, Fredericks & the Parellis 24/7... :D

Eddie Macken: The Ledgend is on tonight at 8 so looking forward to seeing that. Only had Sky for a few weeks so don't know if it's been on before or not!

best description of it ever!

H&C's always been a disappointment, and it had so much potential!
 
Never thought I'd see the day that I thought horse programmes on TV were getting dull because of how often they are repeated. But I do. Come on H&C, sort it out!

I thought H&C TV had gone bust, no new programmes, sky just repeating?????

There was another channel, the name escapes me.. (possibly Rural tv?) which used to broadcast some equestrian programmes, and that channel closed, presumedly having gone bust? Although H&C does show the odd one of their programmes :confused:
 
Yes they did get into some trouble. Wasn't there a story on it? I'll try find it but basically, advertising was a shambles. People not paying etc but the worst thing was the receivership was shocking - audiences were very low. Plus they also sponsored way over budget. MAybe the recovery was slow.

A shame really, it had so much hope!

Then again... only so much Fredericks & Co you can take in a week... horses are really quite boring when you think about it.
 
when i was able to actually get H&C it was just non stop repeats, only so many times you could watch the same program. also they would put in the listings that a horse program was on (fredericks or something else) and you turn over to find something about blooming tractors!

now i can't seem to get the channel, it's just a blue screen/fuzzy/or nothing at all so i've given up even looking at what might be on! lol

Rural tv was fantastic lots of unusall stuff a real window on the world.... H&C perfect for insomniacs!!! just terrible so crushingly boring , why would anyone advertise on it ,, sad because there is so much good stuff they could show,
hope it gets taken on by some company that has a little passion and media savvy instead of the piss poor losers that are running it now.....
