TV3 is already an Irish channel, so a second channel called 'TV3 Ireland' would be even more confusing and less suitable.
Yes TV3 is an Irish channel. Same as UTV is Irish and it didn't stop UTV Ireland coming to air did it! So TV3 Ireland isn't a stretch and the Irish are not stupid to know the difference or the rebrand! B3 is moronic |

Eh? How did you come to that?

So TV3 Ireland isn't a stretch and the Irish are not stupid to know the difference or the rebrand! B3 is moronic UTV is a Northern Irish channel, it's from an entirely different country to UTV Ireland, so the Ireland suffix differentiates the NI original (UTV) from the version south of the border (UTV Ireland) TV3 is a Republic of Ireland channel, the same as UTV Ireland, TV3 Ireland would differentiate nothing, since the original TV3 is already for Ireland. Since there's already 3e, it'd make more sense to call it 3b or 3u though for consistency. |

B3 is moronic UTV's situation was different as the main channel was for Northern Ireland, whilst UTV Ireland was a different service for viewers in the Republic of Ireland. |

My theory on B3 (or whatever they end up calling it) is that, with newer shows moving back to TV3, B3 will eventually be used principally for drama and older-skewing shows as TV3's equivalent of ITV3/More4, given that when they bought Channel 6 they turned it into an ITV2/E4-type sibling channel as 3e...

With the amouht of channels that have closed since the EPG launch queue was closed in 2007 there must be a case of re-opening it for a limited number of channels now. |

It'll free up a fair few slots in the 700's, so perhaps another channel group could launch there, or pending a re-shuffle, a different channel group could move to the 700's allowing other channel groups to expand?

Studio 66 TV is now on sky channel number 907 6am-8pm.
This might lead to one of there lower number channel being removed from the EPG. |

Such as Documentaries group moving to start at 550 to 584 from 520 and Religion moving to start at 800 from 580. International channels can be brought forward to 700 from 780. This means that the International section will be from 700 to 774 (as of 06/12/16). This will leave a big gap between Religion ending at 819 and Specialist at 872 onwards. The current movies preview channel on 700 can then be moved to 313 or 345 to promote Sky Store. |
