    These channels really has gone to sh*te (some may say they always were)

    Teleshopping now on from 12am on TV3

    Films repeated again after 2 to 3 weeks or have been on more recent on another channel i.e. RTE or TG4

    Repeats of their documentaries just with a new name

    Many many repeats of Xspose

    No new shows or if picked up not showed fully (Harry's Law and Prime Suspect USA stopped after 2 or 3 episodes)

    :mad:

    Ya Tv3 is actually pathetic, Apart from Vincent Browne and the news I havnt watched an hour of Tv3 programming in months, I would be of the opinion that they have always been sh*te apart from a few occasions. It is actually getting worse though with the likes of Talifornia and its likes, I certainly would swap TV3 for UTV any day on my sky epg if I had the chance.

    I thought Vincent Brown's programme was a repeat the few times I have watched it. He is always banging on about the same stuff, and has the same group of gobshytes on every night, shouting among themselves about the same old, same old. And as for that ghastly studio set up of gaudy red and grey .......

    If TV3 was replaced with nothing but a blank screen it would be an improvement. I have never watched 3E as it never has anything on it that I would watch so I cannot comment on it.

    Shocking.

    I won't even watch a Champions League game on TV3. Horrendous coverage.

    I took the chance to watch the live psychic readings last night. Do TV3 really feel that this con is worthy of the public airwaves? They should be ashamed.

    They are beyond shame. They complain continuously about RTE and its access to state money and yet owe millions to the state and cannot or will not pay interest on the money let alone pay it off.

    Its a seasonal thing, it is not fair blaming TV3 because ITV dont have anything they can simulcast at the moment. It's not like X factor is on 12 months of the year.

    They should try making something original if that is their reasoning for terrible programming. Tallaghtfornia and a show about Dublin housewives is just the same rubbish rehashed from other channels.

    Well judging by the amount of chat, laughs and online videos being created by psychic live readings on the television thread shows that TV3's night time viewing has never been so popular :P

    I just really hate 3e's lineup at the moment - 3 hours of Steve Wilkos, and 4 episodes of Friends is way too much every day.

    Not much variety going on - and the there's a real lack of new US shows starting on it apart from the adult cartoon comedys. They must have given up on Fringe, Dexter, Hells Kitchen and other shows. They're more interested in repeating CSI, NCIS and XPOSE non stop nowadays.
    I hope a full/big revamp comes in September!
