  Shame then that is such a badly thought out venture....it suffers from all the same problems of other industry models of in-house fighting among the various bodies and competing companies to produce what is scarcely second-rate programming. This is an incredible missed opportunity by an industry that still does not fully understand how to integrate various media models in particular i-TV capabilities and the web ste is a discgrace that is so flash dependent most users will despair before they log in.
  And for a joint venture that is marketing driven that utilises the supposed big brains of marketing from the studios to independents as well as interested fields it is amazing that this damp squib of a channel barely ignited to splutter onto screen with a marketing campaign designed to bury the channel as there has been so little to nearly zero coverage. For shame...but then again this is a film industry who have been unable to even begin to grasp where the real enemies of piracy lie and where there real priorities lie.. Good luk but don't hold your breath for success as this is still dependent upon Orange money and let's be honest there have been many reports all not made public about - in short - what a disaster Orange Wednesday has been as a marketing exercise...but then Orange only used it to bury the R & D spend for technology on other elements...hey ho!

  As the Editor of the box office film review website UKHotMovies.com, I can say that we have been campaigning for this for a long time. The British cinema industry needs Eat Cinema to succeed. Posted on Mar 04 2006 22:59

  Hi there.
  Congrats on a great new show. I noticed you mentioned audio description on the 'behind the scenes' segment.
  It's great that it got a mention - it all helps to create awareness of a wonderful development in cinema which is not very well known amongst the general public.
  In a nutshell, subtitled and audio described cinema enables people with less than perfect hearing or vision, (like my son and many of his friends), to enjoy films at the cinema. Almost every popular cinema release is now available with subtitles and audio description and around a quarter of UK cinemas (170)
  screen thousands of 'accessible' shows every month.
  A regular mention of this on the Eat Cinema channel would do wonders to create awareness - to tell the viewers that accessible cinema is 'out there'. Almost everyone knows someone who would benefit from accessible cinema.
