Comments on: The most boring man on TVM: only 3000 watch him, and halfway through the show, it’s down to 2000

Why does he swing from side to side every time he asks a question?

He’s so effing boring to watch.

And to think that PBS is probably paying good money for a show which is followed at best by 3,000 viewers.

If Bondi Plus with all its actual/perceived shortcomings was axed despite its high viewership, what is this PBS logic of holding on to Saviour Balzan’s programme?

Oh, sure! How can we ever forget …. we’re now in the realm of Malta Taghna Lkoll – the place where loyalties (not logic) abound.

To think that those GonziPN nasties deprived 2,000-3,000 people the pleasure of watching Saviour Balzan. Shocking. What bad judgement.

Good for Labour Jo and his respect for the wishes of extreme minorities.

He was boring when he used to ‘teach’ environmental studies back when I was at school let alone now.

i just cannot stand the man. He eats up most of his airtime by talking himself rather than prompting his interviewees to talk.

And he fiddles constantly with his chin.

By the time he gets to the end of his statement-cum-question, everyone has lost sight of any point he might originally have had.

He is not fit for the job.

Very rarely have I managed to stick out a whole programme.

In reply to Magister.

To compensate for decreasing readership – and consequent sales – perhaps?

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I like your concluding sentence. Reminds me of "Chi non conosce la sua scrittura, e un asino di natura".

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Why two hosts? Joseph Muscat was obliged to reward both. One for the oil-scandal story and for spinning the story of the infamous clock, while the other (together with his wife) for the general services rendered as head of news during the shallowest period if the Times and the special reports (by the wife) during the campaign.

Saviour Balzan may be (or rather IS) the least followed current affairs programme on TVM but I notice that the exposure his newspaper gets on TVM lately, in terms of advertising, is rather questionable.
