I`m trying to find out the name of the singer and song shown during ad. breaks on Your TV (channel 72). It occurs usually during the morning transmissions between 7am and 9am. Adverts are for Fox TV showing Bones and NCIS and contain a female singer with words like "You can`t (cheat fire ??) like the beat of my heart".

I suggest you ask the actual broadcaster of that service. This website is entirely independent of all broadcasters, being intended for technical reception assistance, so no one connected with this site has any idea.

As Ventnor is a relay of Rowridge the current work there will also affect reception in Ventnor.
