Has TV3 only got a handfull of programes?

brian ireland · 2012-04-30 21:14:51

How many time have TV3 played Lawless Ireland, banged up abroad, embarrassing fat bodies etc. These programes are years old and replayed weekly. I think TV3 has run its course and has turned into a pretty poor channel.

+1 - it's like Groundhog Day every time I (usually accidentally) turn it on!

Don't worry they have a cunning plan to make it appear like they've got loads of fresh new programmes. :pac:

I have only had it for approx 6 months since getting Saorview tuned in, but Jez its awful.

Only use it for football, and there coverage of that is poor too, can't listen to the analysts, presenter etc.

It reminds me of C5 in the UK. Pure chav nonsense.

They've just lost rights to the CL so even that advantage is gone or halved, the EL will continue I think.

all brought to you by Bren Frow the man who turned channel 4 into a downmarket imitation of a public service broadcaster and then moved to the even more upmarket channel 5 before heading over the pond to the great unwashed and giving us all the above.

Well when I typed that it was true, the contract had expired and it was expected they'd not get the rights for 2012-15 then the news broke today that they had.

That's all very well, but it means nothing to me, because I still don't know what CL and EL stand for.:P

I've noticed that the documentary they have showed of Lolo Ferrari has now been name-changed 3 times over the past year:
Lolo Ferrari: larger than life
Lolo Ferrari: dying to be beautiful
Lolo Ferrari: death of an icon.

The same can be said for versace's murder show tonight. So pointless and unnecessary.

Wow its worse than i thought

Considering it doesn't get €160 or so off each tv owner in the country I think they're doing okay!

Turned into a pretty poor channel? Was it ever anything else?

You seem to have left out Ireland's Worst Roads there too.
