BBC Radio 4 12pm-1pm 14th June 2013 - domain trading

[domainseller200]

Just a heads up for everyone that tomorrow on BBC Radio 4 12pm-1pm, they are doing a section on the new ICANN expansion of domain names and also they wanted to interview someone about domain trading and how profitable it can be.

I was officially approached today to do an interview with them regarding domain trading and how profitable it can be, and how do I do it etc etc, but I declined as I don't think 3.5m listeners want to hear how we make money from people who already class the majority of us as "squatters", and although it would be a great opportunity for me to get some of my names in front of millions of people, it didn't sit comfortably with me with how they were portraying our industry.

I have just been informed whilst typing this, that they have got someone else to agree to do an interview for them in my place, so it will be interesting to see who that is, and if it is another member from here

It's not Edwin

I declined also.

All they told me was that they don't like people who take a few days to make decisions Sean...not sure what they meant....

Its Mr Owen

 

[Edwin]

They never asked me, but if they had, I would have declined for similar reasons to the OP.

 

[Bailey]

Should be interesting - Lets face it the BBC are not unknown for setting-up a target/fall guy these days..

I just hope it will be constructive, otherwise nobody (general public) will have learnt anything. What's the low-down on Lee Owen - Capable of holding his own ??

 

[mat]

I was just kidding

 

[fastworld]

I was just kidding

Phew ! :shock:

 

[Skinner]

Can you imagine if Lee (owen) had done this!

I think we should take Mat out back and beat him for scaring us like that

 

[khalid]

Tommy (Glasgow.com) would have been better

 

[Admin]

Just tuned in, they are talking about catalogue debt at the moment.

Have I missed the article or is it still to come ?

 

[Systreg]

Has it already finished? All I can hear is a woman talking about student debt, and the next slot at 12:52pm is about something else unrelated to domains.

 

[mojoco]

Just starting at 12.42pm

 

[Systreg]

Just started taking about it now, Emily Taylor speaking now.
