the most bland programme on it will generally outrate any rivals. |

People might not like to say it but viewership to RTÉ is very very loyal.. It's one of the if not most watched state broadcasters per capita in Europe I would say.

Being for Scotland I can't comment fully on Rte but I think they are a great broadcaster and I love Love/hate and The Fall. I also love older rte shows such as Proof and single handed and Amber
.. Although I admit to being an RTÉ sport snob ... I would watch Champions League, Six Nations, World Cup etc on RTÉ over any British channel.

Though the Winning Streak fans might already have switched channels now that Nicky Byrne's new show has taken over - (to chinamug)!

Is there an ad break on RTE? as I see the exact opposite happening. They're watching an Irish Channel at 7 and then they turn over to BBC for Commercial free Eastenders. I know a lot of people who record Graham Norton on BBC1 so to avoid the commercial Version on TV3

That won't be pleasing to UTV who are heavily plugging it as one of their big new shows, even gone so far as gotten Graham Norton to inform viewers of it's new home in Ireland. I think it's a bad move on their part putting it on Sunday nights, two days after the advert free version on BBC.

RTÉ 1 will win every hour tonight with that schedule - that's the problem for UTV and TV3.
I'd agree except for 7 to 8. Harry Hill's Stars in their Eyes might do well and it's up against Shrek 2 which has been on 100 times everywhere. However, it's not a problem for UTV as such. I don't think they're even competing at the Weekends. They're putting out a decent schedule and are happy enough to get some viewers but most of the hard work will have been done during the week. Their aim to make a profit was to have about 10% share in primetime (which they've almost already reached) All they need to make money is to have the soaps and maybe 3 or 4 more shows that hit the target. If they have a overall 10% share the station is viable and will almost certainly be in Second place in the Market. Every Percentage point over that means a lot more profit. It is a problem for TV3 because Saturday is their big revenue Night. |

What? By any standard, that is a shockingly poor effort. It's a poor night all round, TV3's is equally deplorable. Just seeing what Nicky Byrne's lotto show is like, and the answer is utter tripe. He's an awful broadcaster, only used because he's a so called "name". The excellent Jenny Greene totally carries him on the radio show.
Neil Diamond will come 2nd. The Train Robbery could do well |

Well RTE have done it, they've created a Game Show that Makes Winning Streak look good
. Have had it on over the last few minutes again and it's god awful. The only attraction any audience would have is that they could be on next week. The TV3 show isn't great but it's not terrible. It at least feels like the contestants are awake which is always nice.
