Who really benefited from Live 8?

“What?! another commercial advertisment??? God….”

I watched Live 8, I loved watching Live 8, it started from 4 PM until 4 AM in Israel, and it was one of the best shows i’ve ever seen, but it was on TV….

I signed the petition at Live8Live.com, i think it might help…but that’s not the topic i want to talk about in this post, my topic is about the people who benefited the most from Live 8 show..: The T.V. Channels

You know, alot of you will jump and disagree saying “the singers!!”, no…and maybe yes, maybe they are benefiters, but at least they’ve done something

I don’t know how did it go in your place, but Israeli Channel 10 got two novice broadcasters to talk while there were breaks and stuff…and from here it just got worst:

-First of all, they said the African countries have debts of 1 Billion Dollars to the other countries, but then a “little” correction was made, a little one…the African Contires have debts of 40 Billion Dollars! see…a little correction :?

But this isn’t the case really…the fact that Tal Berman and his friend were fooling around with the finger tapping thing (fact:every 3 seconds a child dies) wasn’t that bad for me, the fact that they talked about their “hot” partnet in London instead of talking about the petition didn’t really bother me…i knew they were dorks….my real problem was the advertisments..

At 6 PM…2 hours after the beginning of the broadcast in Israel, i started counting how much time goes on between each advertisments round, 9 Minutes, and i’m sure it’d be alot lower if i didn’t count the straight 20 minutes of the Pink Floyd unite..cause those were the only 20 minutes that didn’t include adverts at all…

Each Ad round included 3-6 commercials, now, tell me…10th Channel, how much did those pay for a 21% watching, prime time? i’m sure the amount can help the African children alot…

Some of you might say “It’s Israel, ours were great”, or “didn’t you expect that to happen??”….but it’s my blog, and it’s my rules… :wink:

    I don’t have problems with ads…and from time to time i even find an ad very interesting so i check the product, but the ration that the ads were represented in really made it annoying…

    its not realy suprisng, Broadcasting to millions of people isnt a cheep thing to do, the tv stations have to make there money back, athogh i have to say over here there were i dont think any ads threw the entire thing, but in any case live8 isnt the causer, its the TV chanles abusting the sitution to make money, live 8 itself was uneffected “/
