MediaGuardian.co.uk | Broadcast | BBC to launch Pet TV

The BBC are to launch an interactive TV station for pets. The service will consist of various images and clips from television programs all looped round. So you can stick your dog, cat (yeah, really likely), fish tank etc. in front of your TV and see what happens.

It may also have cult appeal. When I lived in Maastricht in The Netherlands, one of the local TV stations had free air time before it broadcast. It used that airtime to broadcast various movies of a car travelling around Maastricht. You got the driver’s view, and yes, it did pass my flat! But, it got more weird: One movie was taken from a camera mounted on a trolley at the Maastricht University Hospital, so you could see all the doctors and patients doing there stuff whilst the trolley tootled round the wards. Amazing.
