This is about the only programme I would care to watch on TV3 and I guess will be one of the few pulling in a reasonable amount of viewers next year. BTW the rolling promo on UTV Ireland today is focusing a lot on their news programmes so it will be interesting to see what their news output is like.

On eVision, channel 108 has kicked in, mostly a rotating UTV logo with little in the way of promos. UTV Ireland HD will be on 120, but idiotically, it's only available as an add-on, when the two RTE and TG4 HD channels are free!

Seriously though UTV Ireland will hurt both RTE & TV3 commercialy as I suspect advertisers may be drawn to the fledgling channel as its rates are apparently less than the other two. |

For UTVI to properly compete they will need Irish homegrown content - Just look at RTÉ One's top 10 of 2014 ... if UTVI could even get close to that list it would be a massive achievement - 1. The Late Late Toy Show - 1.357m 2. Love/Hate - 1.005m 3. Love/Hate - 976k 4. Love/Hate - 962k 5. Love/Hate - 880k 6. Love/Hate - 852k 7. The Sunday Game Live - 784k 8. Amber - 779k 9. Love/Hate - 769k 10. Amber - 732k |

With just ITV programming UTVI wont come next to near RTÉ's overall dominance - RTÉ News and Current Affairs are though facing their biggest threat possibly ever and will have to up their game accordingly. TV3 never did good news and their output now is just embarrassing for a PSB.

The ratings would say that is bollocks.
Even Right Now as of last week without that boost 5 of the 20 most Watched Programmes in Ireland were UK shows, (6 if you count Mrs Brown which is filmed in Glasgow, a BBC production with very weak RTE links) Give it 12 months for the figures to settle down and it'll be half and Half. Bizarrely this should work in TV3's favour at certain times. |

Weak RTÉ links? RTÉ co produce it. They even air it before the BBC.
2. RTE have been known to show Eastenders before BBC in the past, (usually when BBC was running late for some reason). Eastenders in the past used to start on RTE a few minutes before BBC almost all the time, (I haven't checked recently) |

1. RTE regularly do this when they are shows such as Mrs Brown, they put in some money (usually 10 percent of budget but it has been known to be less) They then become a co-producer. It gives them certain rights to the show, for example to be able to show it before BBC 1. RTE have very little input to Mrs Browne as such. The Same could be said of The Fall which was almost entirely a BBC production but RTE had a claim as a co-producer because of a limited amount of money put in. Lets be frank, there was no sign of a Mrs Browne TV Show until the BBC showed an interest.

This is something that RTE has always done with all kinds of programmes. It was normal in the 70's and the 80's for RTE to Claim the European Premier for the likes of Dallas and Dynasty. It's the same with films and shows around Christmas, they always tend to go out on RTE ahead of BBC and ITV so that RTE keeps viewers.

Nobody really knows yet how TV3's schedule will pan out - they will struggle big time without the big ITV soaps though ... if UTVI give Ireland a real go then TV3 could very well be in trouble.
Not starting their new evening Lifestyle show from the 5th of January is another huge mistake. |

This is a very fair point. Realistically RTE1 has a very unique selling point and isn't likely to suffer from UTVI. In fact RTE were competing for decades with UTV and it's shows long before TV3 came along. TV3 on the other hand have written the handbook on how not to run a TV station. There really is only room in the Irish Market for 2 big broadcasters, the problem TV3 have is that UTV have most of the ITV programmes and also are probably willing to wait 3 or more years to get the station just right for the market. TV3 have a matter of months and maybe a year at best to get their act together.

I'm actually surprised that TV3 didn't do a deal with UTV to sell them all their assets such as studios, offices, etc. It'll end one of two ways for TV3 - they'll either rebrand and reinvent themselves, e.g. as an Irish C4/C5 equivalent with films and good import series
or there'll be a slow and terminal decline .There probably is room in the Market for a different type of station but TV3 have always been obsessed with the typical ITV viewer. Even after losing the soaps and a lot of the shows they're still going after the same people. Why not go News and current affairs between 7 and 9 which no one else in the Irish Market is doing. Vincent Browne gets some of their best figures outside of ITV shows and he's on at 11. Move him to 8 and see what happens. I don't think there will be a slow decline, it will be sudden and quick if they do close. I remember Century Radio closing with a few minutes notice to listeners and Staff. If TV3 starts losing lots of money next year and there's no sign of a buyer I don't think their current owners will have much of a problem pulling the plug. |

It will be interesting to see what TV3 retains from itv. They lose corrie and emmerdale immediately. However they will continue broadcasting the chase, the cube, tipping point, family fortunes, Mr and Mrs, Ant and Dec's sat night takeaway. I don't know how long this deal runs for. They have the rest of the current series of Graham Norton (bbc one), but utv ire have bought the irish rights to that from the next series. No real clarity on how TV3's schedule will pann out. They really need another soap. They may try and give Hollyoaks another go, but that flopped big time last time they showed it. I wouldn't be surprised if they try and pull a coup on RTE and get the two aussie soaps. That would provide them with an awful lot of broadcasting material and fill their schedule up a good bit.

Yes, "The Chase" is on UTV I January 2nd, so presumably it's on the channel straight away.
