A smart business decision to get rid of the presenter of a 150 million revenue stream, perhaps you and me have different ideas about whats smart in business
Not all smart business decisions are made entirely for the bottom line, especially as they're not really a business, in as much as they have a never ending income stream from the license. The TG franchise rights all over the world will still pour cash in too.
Be that as it may, whatever three bananas they line up for the job, people will still watch it. People loathed "Match of The Day" when it was on ITV but still tuned in because the subject matter was the driver. There's no other new cars show on TV, is there?
