Reality TV Feedback - Thank you

Reality TV Feedback - Thank you

My interview with Network Nine's 'A Current Affair' went to air and the response to my appearance has been excellent.

I would like to publically thank all the people, clients and associates who have been so supportive to me over the years.

Network Nine (and my former client), certainly got an interview with someone with "guts and balls". There were a lot of people not prepared to speak out about the reality tv business, especially about that 'Fantasy Island' "show", but no such problem here. I think the concept was fantastic, but it's a shame they tried to con the wrong guy! Fancy trying to con the publicist, the very person helping get them positive publicity, when they had experienced so much negative publicity in the past. I'm the guy who got them on Radio 4BC, however, when they didn't pay up, let alone fix me up for expences incurred, that's where it fell apart. Then it was time to notify the Sydney Morning Herald (Spike) and Network Nine's 'A Current Affair'.

On the night the interview went to air Gant's current publicist called my mobile (at 11pm)! Could be be a stalker also? I simply told her I didn't know why she was calling, that we ceased business dealings months ago, and to not contact me again. She sounded like a desperate attention seeker. I guess she might be learning the stalking trade from one of the best in the business, Charles Gant.

For the record, I've put many people on 'A Current Affair', 'Today Tonight', talk back radio and such over the years, and 99% of it has been for good news, and the clients and associates have done the right thing. I'm not a charity, although I am certainly very charitable of nature.

In the near future you will be seeing more of me on Channel 31, and we have a few good things on the go with Foxtel, Fox Sports and Network Nine. When I'm ready to go public with all the details, I'll let you all know, and put it into the public domain. Unlike some, I don't over promise, only to under deliver. My work is in the public domain, and my professional credentials are available upon request.

There's a few other reality television related projects on the horizon, and I'll provide more information on them in due course. Always keep in mind, for every 1 reality tv programme that makes it, there's approximately 100 that don't. A harsh but true fact.

Thanks again for your support, it's very much appriciated.

Best Regards
