Stuart Bocking gets a 2CC Promo
May 24th, 2007 at 02:42pm
Fresh from his appearance on a rather peculiar beat-up of a story on Media Watch earlier this week, Stuart Bocking is the latest 2UE based presenter to get a 2CC promo.
It’s great to see 2CC putting in the time and effort to promote their programs as I’m sure there are plenty of people who tune in for one show and ignore the rest, and it’s good to see 2CC finally recognising that.
The logical next step, and one they may undertake closer to the next ratings period, is promote their programs in other media. One does have to wonder if we will see a few ads here and there on commercial television for 2CC. It would be quite a stretch from the usual budget, but would be a good idea, especially during news and current affairs programming.
Update: Add Sharina’s Psychic Boredom to that list. Looks like 2CC aren’t sparing any show from the promo extravaganza. End Update

Sharina’s ‘psychic’ show is not only boring, it’s downright dangerous.
It belongs in the category of other occult practises such as
witchcraft, fortune telling, and communicating with ‘dead spirits’.

Interestingly John, her show contains all three.
I didn’t hear it, but my sources tell me she had a call a few weeks ago from someone who had previously been told by Sharina that she would win a lot of money and find a new job…the caller rang back to inform Sharina that she was now unemployed, homeless, and nearly broke.
Incidentally John, would you consider weather forecasting a form of fortune telling, and if so, is it just as dangerous?

Weather forecasting is not fortune telling.

Fair enough.

Even just listening to that program is giving tacit support to her pagan practices.
Look what happened to the woman who was told she would win
a lot of money !

Another point worth mentioning is that whenever somebody involves themselves in occult practices, they tend to attract the attention of demons who are always on the lookout for a susceptible mind.

For those who would prefer something with a bit more credibility, I’d suggest “The Spirit of Things” on ABC Radio National with Rachael Kohn (Sundays 6pm, Mondays 9pm).
