yes - i find his smug, insincere "style" utterly vaccuous.
he's an out-of-touch wanker.
i always liken people who regard themselves a celebrity in NZ to small town beauty queens.

and i'm pretty amused he has managed to take very few viewers to prime.
Prime are cool however - as the do play the GP.
we like Prime, but Holme's resignation from public life is overdue.

Prime have overestimated the desire and ability of Holmes' core viewer demographic to change the channel from 1. You'll break it if you do that you know.

I've never been able to watch him. I always feel like I'm having a series of focal seizures because of his staccato delivery.

Completely annoyingly intolerable.

My answer to any other television related question is always: 'What Sky Sports Channel is it on?'

Two fascinating comments from the head of Prime TV at a Business Roundtable meeting unfortunately not in the same context (I think);
1/ He was disappointed in the ratings Holmes has achieved.
2/ A section of his speech dealing with the difficulties of getting rid of under-performing staff.

I watch Prime News sometimes because it has blondes! And Scrapheap,best programe ever made,and MotoGP!.I hate P...P...Paul Holmes and it's a rare event I see his face on the screen.I liked Prime before it became Prime,they showed great docos and obscure programes the main channels would never show.I never watch news or current affairs programes,I don't care for anything outside my own small world.

dont get me started about Brian T and his band of merry men.
I spent an afternoon hurling abuse at them a while back.

And yet, you use the interweb. And use it and use it and use it.
