IW not broadcasting 0100-0500hr

I've turned to IW a couple of time in the last few days only to find an on-screen announcement "IW will be back at 5am".

Economising?

How could IW do such a thing with such dedicated viewers as yourself, how could they let you down?

Surely there must be plenty of repeats they could run!:3:

They've pulled the plug on my..... errrm..... performance! I'm outraged I put my <strike>arse</strike> heart and soul into that :17:

Not a "dedicated viewer" Mitzi, far from it - just a channel-hopping night owl

A week or so ago they showed the 4-day deal halogen oven at 5am, I tried to order it on In First but the price was £12 more Indignantly I phoned CS (Madam here does some daft things, money-wasting things, when cross!) and spoke to a hog-tied lady, no joy, "The offer's over".

I've already got the cheapo Bid.tv version of the oven - but my brother left the tongs in when he baked a pie, so I thought I'd get it for the generous accessories and for when mine breaks down - the bulb was 'gone' from the start.

Phew, that's my little ramble for today

I recorded the craft pick of the day the other night at 12am and noticed the machine stopped recording at around 12.30.
Curious to know why, I switched to the channel and saw the back at 5am displayed

And my trusty machine had duly recorded the 12am programme for me for just half an hour and it was the dratted Flymo!

The recorder has more sense than me:54:

I wonder if the new personnel at the top are finding the revivifying of IW rather more difficult than they envisaged :33:

Still can't understand their need for so many channels when they can get decent stuff on one:33:

Freeview?

Ideal World leases its Freeview capacity to a soft porn premium rate chat service during the night time.

I think it's Babestation on channel 33.

Yes, Channel 22 on Freeview. Up until this week they were showing repeats overnight. The porn news makes me grateful I don't have Sky :37:

Spot the deliberate error:54:
I meant to type "can't get decent stuff on one" doh
