Hi everyone, tomorrow is World Television Day so we've decided to take some positive action to highlight the current state of the UK TV industry with a social media takeover campaign.
SO, TOMORROW, PLEASE POST AND SHARE THE FOLLOWING COPY AND IMAGE ON ALL YOUR SOCIALS (AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO SHARE). Some suggested tags are below. There will be a shorter 'X' version floating around 'X' too with the hashtag #OffAirNightmare . Let's see if we can't get their attention, start a conversation and kick start our industry. Thank you:


This World Television Day (Tues 21st Nov), please be aware of the OFF-AIR NIGHTMARE!
UK unscripted TV has ground to a halt... The commissioning downturn means NO WORK for up to 80% of TV workers. With the severe loss of income, the industry is experiencing a huge BRAIN DRAIN as highly skilled and experienced workers leave the industry to keep food on the table. We CANNOT ALLOW this to happen... We are calling upon NETWORKS, CHANNELS and @DCMS to help find a solution BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
Please LIKE & SHARE to spread the word to save our industry... Thank you. #OffAirNightmare
