I didn't realise either their daily schedule was going to be so dreadful. At the moment, they have just Corrie and Emmerdale plus a load of unwatchable dross.
7pm Diversity Live 8.00 Foyle's War Then on Monday there news service begins |

I think from Sunday night we will see an improvement with 3 hours of brand new shows
7pm Diversity Live 8.00 Foyle's War Then on Monday there news service begins I do have one or two doubts whether the channel will even survive. TV3 hit the ground running when they were first launched and were nowhere near as bad as UTVI (or what we have seen so far of it). |

For there coverage to work they need to be live at the stadium for every Ireland game and the semi-finals and final.

Clearly TV3 will use their own commentators for every single game, and have their own TV panel for all matches. I would imagine though that it will all be coming from their studios in Ballymount.

I don't think they will. Obviously on the irish games and bigger games they will but I can't imagine them doing it for lesser games. That's assuming they will show all the games themselves and not sell some on to rival channels.

I can't imagine they would show any game with ITV commentary, that would look pretty poor when they have exclusive rights for Ireland.

. If we assume that their News Show at ten gets 140,000 (which would be conservative SKY NEWS Ireland which was only in 60% of houses was bringing in 135,000 Avg for it's 10.00pm Bulletin in 2006 and had far less resources)
This is not true. sky news ireland launched with 35,000 and quickly dropped down to average 12,000 - 20,000 before being removed from the schedule within the year. UTVI face an uphill struggle to get viewers into this news slot. I think your 140,000 over the long term will be well off the mark. TV3 used to do a nightly news but couldn't sustain it, due to low viewing figures and it was a decent effort on their part, especially their sport coverage on the news. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_News_Ireland TV3 Didn't Drop the Nightly News at the time because of Low viewing figures, they Morphed it into Vincent Browne who they had signed up. When He came along figures picked up. He Regularly gets 140,000 at 11pm at Night which when you consider the time is very respectable. Plus his show starts cold, often with the show before it having a totally different audience. So UTV Ireland expecting 140,000 or More at 10pm (especially if it's a decent bulletin) is more than realistic. Also you have to consider the reasons that UTV started in the south, If they're not going to get figures like 140,000 for the 10pm bulletin or more for certain other shows they won't make money and the station will close. As for TV3 ditching it's late night sports bulletin, that was a major fault. but they couldn't afford to broadcast it and Vincent. Ratings wise it also did well for the 11.30 slot. Plus don't forget their Quiz and Psychics had to start at 12 on the dot.

He's the only thing that can save UTV Ireland

This looks dreadful! It's like some bad repeats channel at the moment. I had a look at the schedules for during the week and the daytime line up is identical every day. I don't even know how long this channel can survive.

Seriously though, what were any of you down there expecting?
This is UTV for Christ's sake. To expect anything other than sub lowest common denominator dross was pie in the sky stuff. If RTE and the others are so bad that you thought any UTV crud would be a step up in standard then i really feel for you down there, i really do. |

That's nothing unusual, most channels have the same daytime line up every weekday! BBC One and ITV to name but two.

TV3 have the rights. Will they buy ITV's domestic coverage, or will they use their own ground resources to augment world feed?

I do notice some viewers from the UK on this site insist on it. Who cares so long as the game is shown live. Quote:

TV3 have never been compelled to buy sporting coverage from ITV before. Why would they bother now?
That really isn't an important part of the coverage at all. RTÉ never did it and they seemed to manage ok. It is a waste of money. I do notice some viewers from the UK on this site insist on it. Who cares so long as the game is shown live. |

It seems we've lost a whole load of regular ITV programming, including their entire news and sports output just so we can have a few local news bulletins and a weekly Pat Kenny current affairs show. That's hardly a good trade off, in fact it's a useless one.

I think it is something that UK viewers have become a custom too as most sport comes from the venue

Monday Night Football on Sky Sports does just fine from a studio as does Saturday Night Football.

Only UPC viewers have lost them. If those programmes are that important to you then you can have them back for a one off cost.
