“I’m so pumped to start at XYZnetworks and get involved in everything that goes along with being a presenter at Channel [V]”, said Walford.

  1. how much are these Gen yers’ geting paid to think the are (a) talented and (b) important ? $15 per hour ? they are hardly “hosts”. All they do is read an autocue !! FFS how hard is that ?

  2. this is exactly what the show needed- sounds like she is switched on and looks amazing…… Channel V is my Fav Channel in the world!!!!! Yess worldd!!!!!

  3. I’m old enough to remember when Channel V could keep a host (“VJ”) for more than five minutes.

    Used to be a good channel when they had live bands on there but is just rubbish now. I still fondly remember The Mark of Cain doing a full set on the channel in 2001 and their V Music Bus shows with bands like Grinspoon & Shihad.

    Those were the days.
