Have UTVI ditched a lot of regular UTV content? Their afternoon schedule looked completely different to what would normally go out on UTV on a Friday afternoon.
And just noticed all the ITN news bulletins are gone. Does that mean Irish viewers will never be able to watch ITN again?? |

UTVI is a seperate entity. It is not part of the ITV franchise so will not carry ITN programmimg.
Has all of ITV's sports coverage been lost as well by the way eg. all the live football matches they show? |

Even if they were doing that well the reason was almost entirely the bump the soaps were giving them. Once you strip out ITV shows, Most TV3 shows are only doing slightly better than RTE2, and RTE2 doesn't do that well once Sport is taken out of the mix..

That sucks then. Sounds like viewers will be missing out on lots of programmes they wanted to see and have to watch a load of dross and fillers instead.

Yeah and a lot of other shows have been cut out! Seems there was a lot of backlash on Twitter and Facebook about Pat Kenny pre-empting The Dark Knight. I don't blame them. I don't know anyone who likes Pat Kenny
He's not popular at all in my house. I guess there's a reason he left RTE It probably wouldn't be so bad if they got some new talent rather than dead wood, but there ya go. It's ridiculous I know people who are paying that much a month for Sky and they get more choice of channels and all that. It's ridiculous. The service isn't even that good! The bill is in my dad's name and he has to give them a month's notice that we're cancelling. I'm at college full time doing a Masters so I'm relying on my parents to sort it all out, but I'm helping them out by educating them a bit on satellite telly since they're total n00bs in that area ![]() |

Afraid so. Albeit their soccer coverage is on the wane. They have lost FA Cup to BBC this season and Champs/Europa Lge to BT next season. The Champs Lge matches every Tuesday were a replica of what TV3 show anyway.

RTE2 is mainly a kids channel with some sport and entertainment thrown in. I read somewhere that they had to show kids programmes during the day. Is that part of their broadcasting rules or something? I know they have a dedicated channel for it so it doesn't make a lot of sense. What puzzles me is why they show loads of it during the day when kids are supposed to be in school. Maybe they should bring back schools programmes like BBC and ITV used to have.
Hopefully with the introduction of a second commercial broadcaster TV3's influence over policy ends. |

I bet Irish viewers will be fuming when they realise the ITV sports coverage is gone for good : they won't be able to watch any of England's football internationals for example, and I presume this also means they won't be able to see ITV's coverage of Euro 2016 next year if UTVI is still around?
and.. can be just added under the "added channels" function on any sky box. ... its not like getting Australian TV or something

You do realise UTV/ITV SD/HD are free to air on satellite and can be very easily got for literally a once off payment of about 100 quid for those with UPC/Saorview..

I'm on UPC myself so we'll see. When I heard UTVI was being launched, I assumed it would be business as usual and that we'd be able to watch the ITN news bulletins and the ITV sports coverage etc. I'm a bit surprised to hear all of that is gone and has been replaced by UTVI's own programmes (which seems mainly to be dross and fillers).
UTV's MD said recently on twitter that sport would be added as "rights became available" .. it will take a few years but gradually UTVI should improve as time passes. I don't know whether they might be using ITN reports for international news. Soon all will become apparent as news broadcasts begin on Monday. |

I have tried again today to watch Pat Kenny on Utv player it is still not working but all Itv shows e.g Emmerdale, Olly Murs and Jeremy Kyle are working. I also tried to watch Lesser spotted journeys and it wouldnt work either so it seems all itv shows work but no Utv shows work on the player

Yes successive ministers (under massive pressure from TV3) have prevented RTÉ keeping kids shows to RTÉ Jr and having a new weekday line up... they have also prevented RTÉ from running ads on RTÉ News Now which has mightily pissed off RTÉ and made them basically forget about the channel because it can't commercially make money.
Hopefully with the introduction of a second commercial broadcaster TV3's influence over policy ends. |

Ah so that explains it then! That's a ridiculous situation with RTE News Now. OK, BBC News 24 doesn't have ads but then they're being funded by the licence fee (discussion for another thread though). Is RTE NN being funded by the LF or not? If not how are they making money?
The simple fact is RTÉ NN is not making any money and is just a loop of main bulletins, RTÉ have can do very little with it when they can't fund it with ads - its a great shame because RTÉ's News and Current affairs output is very good... they could make a great little channel out of it if they were allowed. Even if they broadcast say 12-15 hours of rolling live news a day it would be great. |

UTV Ireland's first night Schedule
7.30 Emmerdale - 1. 8.30 Pat Kenny - 'Out with the Old - In with the U - 2. 9.30 When the Sky falls - 3 11.30 A Night with Olly Murs'* But which show do we think will come out on top. 1. Emmerdale is against Fair city and Eastenders on rte 1. So might struggle against them. Rte 2 is showing Hairspray at the same time and TV 3 is showing 2014: The Highs and Lows then at 8 Brenda Grace. I dont think Rte 2 or Tv3's offerings between 7.30 and 8.30 will cause UTV any problems. 2. Pat is against Eastenders and News on Rte 1. He will be against Hairspray and Electric picnic on Rte 2 and Brenda Grace and Evelyn on TV3. Again Eastenders might beat Pat but I think Pat Kenny will do Ok on the night as he is there big name signing and the show is one of the pick of the days on Irish TV. 3. 'When the Sky Falls' is against Django Unchained on Rte 1, Electric Picnic and Marley on Rte 2 and Evelyn and At home with Irish Country Music on TV 3. I have a feeling Django or Evelyn will do better than Utv's film. 4. Olly is up against Django Unchained on Rte 1, Marley on Rte 2 and At home with Irish Country Music and 2014: Here was the news on TV3. Olly could pull it off by coming second behind Django but you never know Quote:

We're finding out now what the actual audience for Corrie and Emmerdale in the Republic is as both soaps are now only available on the one channel. I'd expect the figures for Corrie to be much higher, probably over 500k.
