We had recently reported that possibly A4e had pulled Benefit Busters Epidsode 2 from the TV repeat and On Demand services.
Last night there was concerns that maybe the Government was involved in pulling the show off the air and off the internet. Read more on New Deal Scandal »
It seems that Channel 4’s Benefit Busters Episode 2 was pulled from Virgin Media On Demand service and the online 4od service. Why?
Rumour has it that perhaps A4e ordered the On Demand/Catch Up availability to be removed due to concerned pressures over the services provided which could lose them their Flexible New Deal contracts (?) and also there has been next to none reviews of the Episode 2 Long-term Unemployed show in the press.
I am aware that it was added to On Demand but since it has been pulled and “Dolce Vito – Dream Restaurant” replaced the 9pm Channel 4 slot on Thursday’s the 27th August On Demand (even though this programme was on at 8.30pm).
It also is reported that the repeat show has been dropped from Mondays listings.
Is A4e censoring the internet once again and goign a step further with the press?
Sorry to all New Deal Scandal blog viewers for not commenting on the Episode 2 of Benefit Busters on the Longterm Unemployed – I have not yet seen it and is not available On Demand and via the 4od website.
I will review the Channel 4 Benefit Busters Series 1 Episode 2 “long term unemployed” show when it becomes available.
