Psychic Today is a satellite-based interactive television channel that offers direct access to psychics, mediums, astrologers & tarot readers.[1] Psychic Today gives its audience direct access to predictions and readings through various means of live participation. Psychic Today was the first and only dedicated psychic channel in the UK until 2009 when a new psychic channel called Psychic and Soul launched on Sky.
History
The channel was established in 2004 to respond to viewers’ questions and comments, it was originally launched as Psychic TV but the name had to be withdrawn because of the band of the same name.[citation needed]
In spring 2009, Psychic Television relaunched[1] with a new line-up of interactive shows, which include: Your Dream Psychics and Love Zone. The popular show Psychic Interactive was also relaunched with a new set of on-screen graphics and new music. The channel itself also revealed a new on-screen identity.
2010 saw some changes to Psychic Television, including changes to the psychic & presenter line-up.
On 15 November 2011, Psychic TV was rebranded as Psychic Today.
Original shows featured on Psychic Today
Good Morning Psychic offers early morning spiritual advice and predictions. Hosted by a presenter and a psychic, the programme tackles topics and themes related to the psychic world. Across all the shows, the viewers have three key ways of interacting; phoning, texting or leaving a caller comment. Good Morning Psychic gives the opportunity to receive a complimentary reading whilst providing a start to the day.
Psychic Interactive launched in 2004 on the Game Network as the first interactive psychic show in Britain. It is Psychic Today’s original format and the channel’s flagship show. The programme features two psychics and one presenter as the hosts (subject to change). Viewers are able to directly contact the programme in much the same way as Good Morning Psychic. A variety of topics and subjects are addressed, giving the viewer influence over the direction of the live show. Psychic Interactive broadcast on the Game Network.
In the past, Psychic Interactive has featured celebrity psychics such as David Wells and Inbaal. Since then, the channel has attempted to create their own celebrities, with limited success.
Psychic Zone offers the same service to the Psychic Today viewership. It differs by focussing on an individual psychic, and showcasing their skills using pre-recorded footage. This is interwoven into the programme, demonstrating the psychics in their element. In addition, guests are invited into the studio to receive a live reading, to highlight a psychic’s ability.
