[Jonathan Richards- Ex Federal Prison Inmate]

I'm a little disturbed that crime is such an source of entertainment for so many. What does this say about our society. I spent time in Federal Prison and it is not a happy place. The criminals there are not a source of entertainment for anyone, just sadness and regret.

mdc,
I am sorry but I have nothing to do with alibi and therefore no control over their broadcasting. You might like to try their site for contact details.
I, too, find the logo intrusive, but I think you'd find them reluctant to remove their branding.
Nice to have the re-runs of John Deed!
Cheers!

i love this channel! However, could you for heavens sake remove that big red circle with the channel name inside it. I have had to sit through 2 hours of John Deed with it perched on top of their heads for most of the time.
