@anon_opin Top of the Pops remaining on TV should have been a non-negotiable part of BBC output, written in to the charter. It was an intrinsic part of Britain. Our culture lost a huge amount the day it was cancelled.

@declanlabour @ATokkers5 Seems that way yeah. Bring back Hennessy Sports I say!

@ATokkers5 Does anyone know if Channel 5 boxing is fully done then?

@hol40900 Anyone who votes for these charlatans needs serious help. What a farce.

Zia Yusuf calls the Equality Act "unfit" can't say why. It protects you from being fired for pregnancy or race. Reform loses candidates to scandals. The only unfit thing? Their judgment. 🇬🇧

@BrianRSolomon I find late 80s and early 90s far more fascinating, even though I was obsessed with the business during the Attitude Era. Every year from say 87 to 97 saw such fascinating shifts, and the presentation was timeless. I could watch Clash of the Champions intros all day.

The most ironic thing about being obsessed with old wrestling footage and watching it all the time is that the three things I never, ever revisit are: WWF Attitude Era, WCW nWo era, and ECW.

@zeeuntitled The days when we had a functional music business…

it's kinda crazy that this is what wireless lineups used look like

Me? I saw him at Wireless already WATTBA

Top shelf nostalgia song. Love them. They were so effortlessly cool. 💕

@reformexposed What is this event? A book signing at a prison portacabin?

“Keeps on giving freely of his time”.
You can even see his card machine in the photo, Sue.
Sue@thebestsuse
So good to see Matt Goodwin tonight in Poole. No script; just straight from the heart about what he sees …. and he knows we see it too. This guy is working so hard; he set the blueprint for a hard fought campaign in Gorton & Denton and keeps on giving freely of his time and energy to ensure we shake up the political landscape on May 7th. He’s a big player making a big difference. Thank you Matt! Sue

Wireless Festival have promised to bring back the whole of the 2006 lineup for a 20-year anniversary

Reform UK's home affairs spokesperson @ZiaYusufUK tells @KamaliMelbourne that condemnation of Kanye West playing at Wireless "is absolutely a bandwagon that's being jumped on."

@willmgreenhalgh @severeerror52 Amazing institution but also one of the most frustrating places ever.

@LawtonGamst @severeerror52 Same bbc that took till like 1976/7/8 to stop junking tapes and films. Not surprising
English
Anti-trust legislation really fucked over a lot of the British TV industry because the legislators didn't see the threat coming. The BBC had to *fight* to increase the 30-day limit on iPlayer because Ofcom thought that it'd be too much of an advantage over competitors
Cameron Yarde Jnr@CameronYardeJnr
A history of divvy decisions have hurt British broadcasting. Project Kangaroo, which would've had a joint BBC/ITV/Channel 4 VOD service, being axed. The junk food ban killing advertising & therefore budget for CITV, the 1990 Broadcasting Act, BBC3's linear Chanel closed. Ruinous!
English
@SeanMcShaney @CameronYardeJnr The horse bolted when Kangaroo got shut down sadly. Netflix was sending DVDs in the post when it got canned. A real shame.
English
@LawtonGamst @CameronYardeJnr Aren't they trying that again? Hopefully the CMA dont stop them. And aren't they all on Freely anyways
Cameron what do you make of PSBs moving to YouTube? Shouldn't they all go solot, try integrate with Netflix etc

What is clear is that the collapse of linear advertising (incl junk food advertising) has caused children’s television funding to collapse in the uk. With streamers not really interested in investment it is just the BBC keeping it going.
English
@CameronYardeJnr Yep, no foresight whatsoever when it was blocked. It was all ready to be rolled out too. Gave an open goal to American big tech companies to take all the market share from British broadcasters. Doesn’t look like they’ll ever recover the lost ground. Insane decision.
English
@LawtonGamst It screwed over British broadcasting. Now look at the mess they're in now.

@NewAgeBoxingUK April Fools was last week wasn’t it? What an absolutely bonkers article.
English
@mikeysmith Do they realise the article title ends with “attempt to bypass journalists”? Farce of a party.

Imagine being this afraid of people asking you proper questions.

We do things differently at Reform. This announcement means that we are the only political party that produces its own podcast – bringing you closer to the action. The Reform UK Podcast is now available to download. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@TheCyberdevil Such a shame they got rid of the kids blocks on linear channels. That was the beginning of the end and should have been protected for the good of our culture.
English
I think this is such a terrible shame. A 42 year old brand that has been a part of so many childhoods just fading away. Kids deserve good British TV. It’s just CBBC left now.
Media Central UK@MCUK_Official
In TV news, the CITV block on ITV2 is officially ending on 10th April. This really means the end of the iconic CITV brand that's been around for 42 years. Farewell CITV, this time for real. CBBC will have some of CITV's programming while the rest will be under ITVX Kids

@MittensOff Is this an official poster? No idea what software they used but it’s easy to centre text…

Bede in Warwickshire, if there was ever an opportunity for a ward to do the right thing on 7th May 2026 this is it. Your local authority didn't have the bottle, so it's over to you; get rid of the kid. #ReformUK

@GuyLambertUK @Shuttsapalooza I worked at the BBC for 15 years so feel your pain. But at the same time the commissioning, whether through lack of budget or strategic issues, has been flawed - taking away blocks on linear channels, replacing live Saturday morning shows with cooking. The excitement has gone.
English
@LawtonGamst @Shuttsapalooza I work in kids TV and that’s untrue. Thousands of us have lost work thanks to repeated smashing of the BBC Licence Fee via Government and absolutely no support from Lisa Nandy now. The TV industry is collapsing and no politician cares. If the public want good TV, demand it
English
How kids watch stuff now is insane to me. I was at a family thing the other day, yapping away with the kids, asked what their favourite TV show is & they all just said YouTube. Not even a person on it. Imagine asking a 7 year old Shutts his favourite show & he just goes “BBC Two”
