I've had a proper gander at it today. I'm curious, are any of these presenters ex-forces?

It just seems a bit weak to build another minor news channel, in this case regarding the military, without actually using people who 'were there'. Are these just another bunch of outsiders looking in? Seems a waste to pay people in the PR side of the forces a salary and then employ civilians at x times the amount for an Armed Forces TV channel... Plenty of people inside that could do, and would do, the job, and the savings could be put toward making some interesting documentaries and such.

Of course I could be wrong and all of the staff are volunteers doing it out of the goodness of their littul 'arts.

Cynical? Mois?
