If you’re interested in the world of advertising and media, then you’ve a tough choice with your telly at 8.30 tomorrow night.

Over on SBS, there’s the next episode of Mad Men, but the real scheduling clash in on the ABC, where they’ve got the ABC2 repeat of The Gruen Transfer up against the 20th anniversary one hour special of Media Watch on ABC1.

My advice is to go for Media Watch.

Having seen a preview of it, it really does make you realsie what an impact the programme has had on Australian media.

No tough choices really.

Mad Men ran on Pay TV (Movie Extra) last year and you can download the first series, and as you know Gruen is showing tonight on ABC1.

Mind you – if I did have to choose – I would always go for Media Watch!
