The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

On the radioI've worked at six different 'Red Brick' radio station in my time, and it is the same everywhere..
During competitions, if you don't hear a winner's voice on air, no-one won. Either because no-one entered, or the prize simply did not exist.
If you do hear a winner on air, you can bet your arse that it was the first person to call that was female, that lives in an identifiable suburb outside the main broadcast city, and that sounds hot.
The only time a bloke will get on air is if NO ladies call at all. Entry levels for competitions are typically woeful overall.
We thought all the recent TV scandals may have changed the boss' minds, but no.
Plus I never ever 'won' a top range Nokia, which I certainly didn't sell, nor spend non-existant hundreds of pounds on...well, I'd like to say drugs, but it was council tax really.
