What the hell? So ITV Be is going to show Reality Shows. ITV YBF (sorry - ITV 2) will lose out on a lot here!! PLEASE take ALL of ITV 2's programmes - and give them a chance to show better programmes like PLEBS! And to repeat their popular ITV programmes in an afternoon slot. But let ITV 2 show a few more classier programmes - like PLEBS and anything other than that ESSEX lot!!

In a word - or two - is it going to make any difference? What's the point?

Why have two channels showing the same crap???

I hope 'You've Been Framed' has been allotted - I so miss it!! :p:cool::cool:

    Apparently ITV2 is going to become ITV's Comedy channek similar to Comedy Central.

    I'm quite happy that ITV have created a channel dedicated to the scripted reality crap, the simpleton programming doesnt tar other channels then!

    By 'comedy' they probably mean Barbara, George and Mildred and other such 'classics' :o which have already been repeated to death on ITV3.:(>:(

    ITV should improve the channels it already has not just increase the number of outlets for utter dross.>:(

    ITV3 show far fewer comedies than Granada Plus did. This could be a great opputunity to see classics like Shelley or Jeeves and Wooster again.

    I think ITV 2 is going to buy in some comedies in from America

    Was I wrong in reading this channel was getting split into 3 sections 1 being for classic tv shows not meaning comedy

    Plebs, The Job Lot, Mom, Birds of a Feather, Two and a half men, Dads, Viral Tap, Celebrity Juice, Benidorm...

    ITV2 won't just be comedy. Shows like Xtra Factor remain, along with Tricked, Bad Bridesmaids, Release the Hounds etc.

    Looking at the ITV2 listings on Digiguide for the first few days after ITVbe's launch it seems to be numerous repeats of The Cube, You've Been Framed,Two and a Half Men and similar fare filling the slots vacated by the tosh going to the new channel.
    Same old same old.:(>:(

    Who needs HD when we know how good ITV channels are in SD?

    Oh wait...

    Surely GMB is a comedy?
    Well, it is a joke at the very least!

    From next week ITV2 looks quite similar to how it used to be, before the likes of TOWIE and Peter Andre reality shows started to dominate the schedule.

    Does anyone remember when ITV2 made its own programmes (such as 'Soap Fever' and 'Bedrock' etc) before Keith Lemon led nonsense and Xtra Factor became the only 'homegrown' stuff that they bothered to make?:confused:

    I only keep them for when I fancy watching a Die Hard movie for the billionth time.

    With so many on demand services, I'm amazed these channels can still exist by showing the same stuff over and over.

    Maybe ITV2 should start doing quiz shows at 20:00 and a politics show at 12:00 to rival BBC Two.

    I just forced myself to sit through the five minute show reel now on - my god I'm lucky to still have a functioning frontal lobe. The only good news I suppose is that all these Botox, fake boobed and facepainted bimbos are now going to be corralled in the one place.

    On the Thursday you have "dinner date" "may the best house win" "jeremy kyle USA"
    Saturday TOWIE programming (this includes Thursday as well) "beauty and the geek" millionaire matchmaker" "dallas cheerleaders" "bridezillas" so in short ITVBE is full of TOWIE programming and repeat on repeat of "dinner date" :o and also seeing the programme previews on the channel its definately a channel I'll happily avoid ... i'll just stick to ITV3 (out of the ITV family)

    well at least we know the demographic this channel is aimed at .... didn't realise how bad ITV2 actually was until they introduced this new channel!
