TV Freeview began today with a wimper. Nothing to write home about yet (more news channels! more shopping channels! more documentaries!). I'll be writing about it at length elsewhere at some point, but I will say that one of the killer apps might 'The Music Factory' which is basically Mtv when it first started -- wall to wall videos, but with a massive playlist and not affraid to mix it up a bit -- saw Aha's 'Take On Me' earlier next to Avril Lavagne next to Donna Summer. The chance to listen to Five Live without interference is a boon. And oneword might come into it's own. And BBC7 (a sort of E4 for Radio Four) looks like something to look forward to -- I seem to miss a lot of good radio and this'll be a chance to catch up.
