Watching L!VE TV would have left you wondering how it had ever emerged from the primordial TV slime and why anyone would pay for it. Delving deeper would have revealed the real cut-throat story of cable against satellite, Murdoch newspapers against the Mirror group and even, on the station itself, trendy 'Yoof' against Page 3 values. L!ve TV was a desperate foot in the door and it's the desperation that makes such an entertaining read.
