Home ownership is becoming less accessible and more people than ever are renting, but stories about renovation on TV, in film and in literature continue to have a powerful effect on us. Why do audiences keep coming back to renovation stories?
Is The Block a renovation story or an advertising story? Reportedly it's one of Nine's most valued programs because of its ability to fit so product placement and marketing into the show without losing viewers.
It's the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn't know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won't be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.
