DIARY: My media

<p>Nigel Oakins Executive director, special assistant to chairman, </p><p>Sing Tao Group </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Television </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I tend not to watch much TV. What I do watch is: ESPN Star Sports - to </p><p>catch Charlton in the Premier League. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Sex in the City - valuable insight on how women think. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Press </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>IHT - It's amazing what you can do with so few pages. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Bangkok Post - The best English newspaper in Asia. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I'm sure Sing Tao is a very good paper, if only I could read it. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I do subscribe to a lot of magazines. I get the UK edition of G.Q. It's </p><p>much dirtier than the American edition. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I also read the US edition of Vanity Fair. The editorial for that is </p><p>really switched on. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Advertising </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I don't really watch much TV and when I do, it's the bad ads that I </p><p>remember. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The worst I think is the promotional stuff that CNBC does on its own </p><p>channel. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Another is promotions for The Wall Street Journal. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Anything that says "We mean business" is crap because so many of these </p><p>ads use the same line. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Websites </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>CAFC.co.uk - Its all about Charlton Athletic. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Quamnet - Gutsy attempt at a financial portal. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Radio </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>HMV 864. Phil Whelan can be a pain but he's putting together some great </p><p>programming. But, generally, I prefer to listen to my own CDs. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
