W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?
M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late — eleven or even midnight—when I''ve finished work. W: And what sort of programs do you go for?
M: Some news bulletins. But I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
W: Fine. And turning to the new channel... which type of programs would you like to see more of?
M: Well, 1 think we need more things like local information... you know, providing a service for the community.
W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the directors some specific advice when they set up the new channel, what advice would you give them?
M: I''d advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. And in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interviews, talking with their potential customers.
W: Oh, I''m glad you think it''s valuable!
M: Certainly... yeah.
W: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts?
M: Well, out of that list I''d say every quarter of an hour. I don''t think we can complain about that, as long as they don''t last for ten minutes each time!
W: And... would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel?
M: Yes, I''d be very happy to, as long as they''re held here in my area.
W: OK, I''ll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list?
M: Well, I''d prefer not... except for the information about the promotion you mentioned.
W: Can I have your name and address?
M: Of course... here''s my card!
W: Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you.
M: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks.
