I need some help to deceide. Both Close up and Campbell Live have offered to do a story on me (in reguards to PND and my book). I can't be on both and so have to deceide which will be best to appear on. So which do you or would you watch? Your help would be appreciated. ------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

Campbell live....I'd watch it if I knew about it on Close Up (they did a fab job on Anita's story last night) but that said I far prefer Campbell live. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I choose not to watch Close up from a while back, the host was very nasty to a former surgon that operated on my Bro. So for me Campbell. |

We watch Campbell Live - and as xanthesmum said, the age group who you want to target will be more likely watching that. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

I don't watch either (DH has to watch the simpsons) but what ever it is on i'll watch it when it is on - just like last night I watched Close Up for the little girl (Thanks Paws for letting us know about that). ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I only watch Campbell Live. I prefer his interviewing style and he makes the interviews really interesting/entertaining.
Good luck either way you choose  -------------

Awesome Lou! I'd say go Campbell live too, John Campbell is a far better journalist and much more interesting to watch.
I was a bit disappointed with the Aria piece Close Up did last night, sure it was OK and it got the message across but the presenter (with the funky mo,I don't even know his name  ) didn't seem overly excited about it  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

That is such an overwhelming response! I prefer CL too, seems more in touch with the typical NZ population IMO. ------------- |

haha! My partner was actually on it a couple of weeks ago  So just have to defend it because of that.. and he said that Mark Sainsbury was really good, DP rang up to have a chat with him afterwards and he was quite helpful.
I don't watch much tv, but I'd go with Campbell live if everyone here watches it lol.. if younger people watch it, then that is the audience you want to target. Good luck! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
