I must have been "lucky" ... they do seem to shift the focus.....
I have participated in "market studies" / focus group for a local company.... one about BEER tasting which was right up my alley... and another was about programming for an UNKNOWN channel... it was either the History or the Discovery Channel...so I'm quite sure they do the same things politicians do... put their finger in the air so to speak to see which way the wind is blowing...
I don't watch anything too much.. but being a captive audience for a while is enlightening...
by the way nice to see you're back posting.. it seemed you were absent for a while.. or we just weren't interested in the same things..
I've not been the most active poster the last few days. I had some stuff to do. I've posted on a few threads but not much in that time, probably just not on the same threads. Yeah, they probably use focus groups and the like. I tend to have the History Channel on here 24/7, even when I'm not paying attention. A definite trend, particularly on Tuesdays, is tending towards general alien phenomena.
Really? Just about every single time I have it on nowadays its about aliens abducting people or stellar phenomena.
