All Reality TV, All The Time

from the scary dept

For those of you who just can't get enough of reality TV programming, it seems that some former contestants on reality TV programs are teaming up to put together a cable TV channel that will be all reality TV programming, all the time, 24-hours a day. The channel will show reruns of old US reality TV programs, combined with imports from abroad. However, there are signs that viewers are losing interest in reality TV. The first "reality movie" seems to have bombed, and plenty of reality TV shows aren't getting very far.

    It's not that people have lost interest, it's that there are too many of them. Maybe the reality channel will be a good thing. This way, the regular stations can go back to broacasting fluff, and I can not see reality tv if I want to.
