Hey,
Who's in charge of making these decisions and how would you go about contacting him/her?

 

[dudley]

pretty deadly that after only an hour there are already nearly 50 signatures.
spam whoever you can think of, i reckon. add it to your websites

would a hardcopy petition be more effective though?

My friend at work who does the RTE listings had this to say:

"What will Leagues do now? perhaps star in a futuristic sci fi series in which there are thousands of clones of him living in an underwater city. It could be called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Wah wah waaaaaaahhhh."

She's never seen No Disco but she did meet Leagues on Dame Street.

Seriously though, it's a bleedin' disgrace.

Ha ha ha....I just spammed all over the place! Including Phantoms boards. Deadly! The petition is fillin up. Hope it makes a difference.

it's haughey, isn't it...

a hard copy of the petition will be available to sign from tomorrow morning in road.

 

[dudley]

for info, there are now over *400* signatures on the petition, which is pretty damned incredible for a late afternoon and evenings work.

this could only impress someone with marketing prowess, but how to harness it?

i figure a press release or something sent to record labels, newspapers *and* other stations is the way. ideas?

anyone with a good database of contacts for such a thing?

 

[Anne OMalley]

Excellent work, Dudley. What with over 400 names there by now it really looks as if the "No Disco" crowd is a properly committed one.

But is that crowd large enough? In order to ensure RTE doesn't come to a conclusion of the form "Oh, 414 fans - is that all...?" we should all be sure to forward the petition URL to as many people as possible.

Therefore: forward, Christian soldiers!

according to a well place source, the viewing figures have been amazing lately.
the planxty special pulled in 10% of the total audience share whilst the meteor awards got 17%. he reckons the audience floats between 20 and 40,000 per show.

Ptchah.
Bet I get 20 on XFM.

Joke.

Strange they're shutting it down then...

If only it were that surprising... Article 17 of RTE's charter is entitled "Failure To Recognise A Good Thing When We See It".

This'd be a jaw droppingly stupid thing for RTE to do. Scanning their schedule I find absolutely nothing that I care about remotely as much as No Disco. The more noise made about it the better...

Would it be any use to flood the RTE complaints desk with individual protests? There's an e-mail address and paper mail address on their website... I'm going to write one, anyway.
