Watch More TV? Not in Germany

They may want their BonoTV in Germany, but Bono isn’t gonna let them have it. Yer man has put the kibosh on the launch of “BonoTV,” a German TV channel for viewers over 50 years old.

RapidTVNews quotes the German newspaper, Express, which reported that Bono wasn’t agreeable to the channel’s name because “he is concerned about the protection of his own pseudonym.” The channel will still launch later this year, but they’ll have to use a lesser name … like maybe ChrisMartinTV or LiamGallagherTV, perhaps?
