In lieu of Cellcast's warped way of thinking nowadays, yes that is exactly what I am saying.
The show was doing so well that it's hours got increased from 9am to 9pm whereas PP went for a while at least to 11am to 8pm from 9pm.
The Chat would I understand have gone completely had the Irish company not bought either a major share in it or bought it outright.
If the company that has bought into The Chat think it is a viable programme then it will take money from other channels and particularly Cellcast channels(which makes their stand on it baffling) but only if they bring back a producer to oversee and deal with technical issues. Right now it has started to look a bit amateurish and I hope that is more down to them having to move studio and that the current problems with mics and computers will get sorted out.
Nikki was felt to be more focused on her other projects and took the fact that she was being let go with good grace, Donatella on the other hand wasn't happy and you can see her response on here as well as her twitter account.
I hope that it can get back to where it was, we will just have to wait and see!!

Cellcast cut it's hours because it was taking viewers away from PP and BS Daytime, they got rid of the Misters and got the girls trained up to do all the things like Chatbacks etc that the Mister's did.
Are you saying the show was too successful ?
It is trying to sail its way through the bad economic times so that they have a show on the other side. At the moment it is being run on a week to week basis to see if it meets its income targets, hopefully if it can prove it is doing that and the bosses see how good a show it is then it will go back to somewhere close to where it is was just 3 months ago.
If the show is meeting it's income targets and goes back to where it was three months ago, then it will still be taking money off the other channels.
