    Television channel TV3 says it has reached a new deal on television programmes with ITV's Granada.

    The station, now owned by private equity company Doughty Hanson, said the 'long-term' deal meant that programmes such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale would remain part of its schedule.

    The current agreement was due to expire in December next year. The exact length of the new deal is not being disclosed, but it is thought the arrangement is significant and will cover several years.

    TV3 chief executive David McRedmond said talks with Granada had been going on for some time and the channel was delighted to renew the deal. ITV previously owned 45% of TV3.

    The Last Word 5pm hour Friday: 1/12/2006

    The interview is at the very end of the hour.

    12 new movies from fox, not much but I am sure they will get others.

    They will be looking into commission new shows.......

    ..... with the help of the BCI's Sound and Vision Fund......

    .... i.e. TV3 will make Irish prime time shows from the licence fee and earn money from advertisers

    TV3 has no identity, as I have said previously TV3 could have started small and grown rather it lies still and hopes to god a new TV station doesn't come along and buy Coronation Street for the Irish Market.

    I don't see how Coro St and Emmers are world class shows.

    Sorry just posting this in here too.

    Like the tags on this thread not bias at all :)

    It's on UTV as well, which for those of us who want a choice aren't to happy with. Dull and Boring, start watching something more imaginative.
