MORE NEGATIVE VIBES

Canvasing for media support was to this point one of BalconyTVs main marketing strategies. As we have no budget, we have felt that getting ourselves in the press was a good way of getting us out there.

We have been lucky that allot of press coverage has came our way without us seeking it, but we admit that we have chased up publications that have been more stubborn...i.e. HotPress.

Recently we contacted Temple Bar Magazine. We felt since we are located in Temple Bar we were ideal material for them.

They agreed and sent a reporter and a photographer out at once.

The article has just been published in the most recent issue. And unfortunately the results are not great. As Roberts Evans says so well in The Kid Stays In The Picture - 'if you live by the sword, you die by the sword.'

We feel the article in Temple Bar Magazine paints us in a unnecessary negative light. It gets facts wrong and uses quotes out of context.

If you have a chance to read it yourself (Temple Bar Magazine is free in many Temple Bar locations) you'll get the gist.

While we have a number of issues with the article we would just like to make one point clear. We respect all acts that have performed on BalconyTV to date, and in no way consider it 'a joke' on them.
