Pharma TV

May 21, 2007

Coming soon, a Big Pharma television station:

Four of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies are proposing to launch a television station to tell the public about their drugs, amid strenuous lobbying across Europe by the industry for an end to restrictions aimed at protecting patients. Pharma TV would be a dedicated interactive digital channel funded by the industry with health news and features but, at its heart, would be detailed information from drug companies about their medicines.

I hope this is a promise!
Then they could pull all their miserable ads off TV stations.

I’m someone whose children have FINALLY grown up, and all of a sudden I have time to watch TV.

Just when I’m settling in for a good nights view of CSI:Miami some idiot comes on and starts talking about cholesterol or impotence. Give me a break. Round’em all up and give’em their own channel!
