    I've think we've all had it, Rob. Very good of them not to dish out a generic, banal response.

    To be fair, he has a point.

    He does - but it's very nice to actually get a real response.

    yeh fair play to them for responding. i think we whould all suggest that they start showing friday fight nights live on a saturday morning, or look to pick up more international boxing.

    i get the feeling that maybe its not all about ratings. maybe advertise do not want to be associated with boxing.

    i could undertand a cult programme like the boxing hour being on Fiver but to expect to put it on terrestrial tv is overly ambitious.

    If anyone cares, I just sent this in response:

    Dear Mr Charles,

    Just a quick message to say thank you for your in depth, compassionate response with regards to televising the Bunce Boxing Hour previously broadcast on Setanta Sports. Thus far we have had a virtual shut-out with regards to actually receiving responses from various networks that we have collectively contacted about the campaign. A number of us on the 'Bring Back Bunce' campaign have expressed gratitude for your time and well wishes here:

    Once again, many thanks for your time.

    Although it's not a popular opinion on here, I think that the BBC is a decent shout. Buncey has to keep reading out all of the places where people are contacting him throughout the UK and Ireland on BBC London. What's a new show to the BBC? Also..... no adverts and more time!:D
