Cactus TV's Amanda Ross has dismissed a report in last Friday's Daily Mirror, which stated that the Richard & Judy book club was to move to Channel Four, but without its star presenters.
"We've complained to the Mirror and they accept that it was wrong. They didn't check with us [before writing the story and it's not true." The story, on the papers' showbiz gossip page, was based on an interview with an unnamed source.
As has been previously reported by The Bookseller, Ross is in talks to find a new broadcaster for the show, which ends its run on digital channel Watch on July 1st. In late May she told the magazine she was "in the process of conducting talks for a high-profile, long-term home for both the book club
and summer reads with consolidated campaigns across the year, for a number of years to come." Ross hopes to tie a deal up by the end of June.
