An open letter from a reader<\/p>\n

Attention network executives, tv programmers and television bosses.<\/p>\n

This is a suggestion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing I do in the morning is have\u00a0 breakfast and see what is on at midday.<\/p>\n

At the moment – nothing – nothing.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the people who watch tv at this time are retired women, mothers who need a rest and women in nursing homes.<\/p>\n

Midday – This is the time when the residents have their lunches and try to hurry back to watch tv when there is a good movie.<\/p>\n

We do not want any tv with violence, we are elderly and trying to stay safe.\u00a0 I would be very interested in helping you choose<\/p>\n

‘good women movies”,\u00a0 romance, tears and happiness.<\/p>\n

We are very interested\u00a0 and quite happy to watch repeats of Downtown Abbey, Revenge etc.. during the day following the movie.<\/p>\n

We have from 1 to 5 p.m to fill our time every single day, specially for the people who are bedridden.<\/p>\n

No woman is interested in the repeats of Judging Amy, Jag etc..<\/p>\n

we have seen it again and again and have no other choice,<\/p>\n

or even other channels\u00a0 Masterchef or Reno Rumble.<\/p>\n

Hoping that very soon retired, elderly nursing home residents would be lucky enough to watch a really good movie on such cold days at say starting 12.30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Many thanks.<\/p>\n

Janine S. & Lorraine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goodwill<\/h2>\n

Yes, we all understand networks have to generate a revenue. \u00a0We also understand that ‘midday movies’ are unlikely to attract many advertisers.<\/p>\n

Heres a suggestion: Show a movie at midday every day for goodwill. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attention programmers and network chiefs!<\/p>\n

Think about your parents, your grand parents, the elderly, the unemployed people of Australia.<\/p>\n

Give them something to watch for a couple of hours during the day.<\/p>\n

Yeah we know you’ll flood the advert breaks with promos for your shows but we’ll cop that.<\/p>\n

Good luck to the network that breaks the mold and starts showing midday movies<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
