From the end of this years production schedule, that's programme 107 of the Caravan Channel, premiering on 15th December 2010, I'll no longer be responsible for the production and editorial direction of the UK's only broadcast TV caravan and motorhome programme, The Caravan Channel on Information TV.
After 4½ years, and 107 shows, I think its time to pass this hugely successful show on into new hands, and I'd like to thank all of the brilliant people in the industry and associated businesses who've helped me to make a unique programme which has inspired some people, helped many more, and maybe opened some eyes to reality.
I'm delighted to say that the programme's broadcaster, Information TV, is already assembling a team who I believe will continue to build on The Caravan Channel's existing success, and will see it grow from strength to strength. They'll also be introducing new blood and new talent into the mix, and continuing to work closely with both the industry and campers/caravanners and motorhome owners to take the programme to new heights.
In addition, Information TV is of course a much bigger company, with much bigger budgets and capabilities. Developing a brand new programme concept from scratch is fine for a one-man band like me, but taking it on to a whole new level of success and influence demands a much more structured, disciplined and professional approach.
On a personal note, let me say very clearly that this change is a result of my choice. I've been looking for some time for a new production company to take over the programme, essentially because producing a new programme every two weeks is continuous hard work for a one man band, and that's not what I want to do!
The Caravan Channel's email addresses - editorial@caravanchannel.co.uk and production@caravanchannel.co.uk are still your points of contact.
This doesn't mean that I personally will be fading away completely, of course. I'll still be doing some freelance work, and making some other programmes in other areas of interest.
You'll still be able to contact me at chris@chrisgosling.co.uk and I'll have a website online at www.chrisgosling.co.uk

Now that's a long times between posts!
In terms of putting posts on The Caravan Channel's editor's blog, I do tend to be fairly remiss . . the pressure of producing a fortnightly TV show makes me less keen to do other things to a schedule, even though I know I should!
But this time, I must say I've got a lot better excuse.
Since my last entry, things have been changing apace in both personal and business terms, and I'm delighted to say that i think it's all really rather good - although some aspects may be a bit worrying for a time!
At present, I can't make a full revelation, but as soon as I can, I will. Til then . . watch this space!
