Livewire - The UK's first
live video games show
No flashy sets. No Gangster
presenters. No fanboys!
October 29th 2004, London, United
Kingdom: Livewire is the latest videogames
show for the UK audience, featuring everything
that gamers want to see. With the most up
to date content, and some fantastic guests,
you can look forward to some laid back, but
informative videogames television.
Taking inspiration from some
classic shows from the past, the content is
tailored to what you, the gamer wants to see.
Featuring a heavy online focus on Xbox Live,
Jolt online gaming and PS2 online, the community
will be an important aspect of the show, with
regular kick ass competitions and the opportunity
to visit the studios to take part in a truly
interactive games television experience.
Gareth Williams, Producer of
Livewire said" I've been working furiously
for over 6 months researching the kind of
show that the consumer wants to watch."
He continued "I think we've got the right
balance between previews, reviews and interviews
and focusing on the online aspect of the show
is sure to set us in good stead with the gaming
audience. With televised online tournaments
and some fantasic competitions, unseen in
video games shows, we're hoping to be come
the show of choice for gamers across the UK"

Bandits Take on Things....
It will be interesting to see what Livewire
is like given the present state of TV Games
programs in this country. We've got Gamezville
which is okay but only because there's nothing
else on and it's obviously the show they're
having a dig at here with there no gangsta
style presenters. Then there's Gamer TV whose
narrator seems to be a mysogynistic, homophobe
who's also anti gaming in that he spends time
referring to gamers as anoraks, geeks, girlfriendless
etc. We also have Cybernet which is a great
show concentrating on the games but it's generally
on at ridiculous times like 3am and it was
better when it had the female presenter. Finally
there's GamePad which is a good show hosted
by Violet Berlin but the info is usually old
even when it's first aired (then it's repeated
and repeated ad infinitum).
Here's
hoping Livewire avoids all these flaws and
comes up with something new and refreshing.
