Channel X

Channel X
   Channel X is a television company headed by the independent producer Alan Marke. He is perhaps best know for bringing Jonathan Ross and The Last Resort to television screens in 1987. The formats of both this show and the television channel are borrowed from the USA, particularly from Late Night with David Letterman. This is acknowledged and is seen regretfully in some quarters as a sign of creeping Americanization of British television. Programming at Channel X is likely to become more and more like American television in trying to fill airtime with cheap chat and game shows and even soft porn. Concepts of quality and a mission to raise the level of the audience are left out of consideration.
