    Must admit that the New Dawn trailer is very clever - but alas goes from clever to creepy in its final moments.

    But both come under their licence which would surely mean a requirement to provide those services on Saorview. No?!

    Not sure as I watch UTV because it has better picture and sound but noticed it yesterday, I think it moved yesterday or the day before.

    In fairness to TV3 they always had the DOG/Bug in the right place! The
    +1 was very quickly done it does suit their logo. Oh well.

    Communicorp deal seems less and less attractive

    Newstalk to provide national news to UTV Radio
    Pat Kenny to present show on UTV Ireland
    Ray D'Arcy jumps ship back to RTÉ

    Just looked at the trailer and not sure about it but I could be wrong and it could be good. What do other think of the trailer?

    Trailer is good. Follows a similar vein to the New Dawn promo, although it is produced by the same guy - so I guess that's to be expected.

    It looks more like The Bill or some cop show than a normal 'street/square/farm' soap opera. Will be interesting to see how the pace of the show goes.

    Like UTV Ireland they really need to give a clear view of their schedule. Its now Mid-December and TV3 are still saying coming Jan 2015 for Red Rock, where will it sit in the schedule? Will it be on the air in the First or last week of Jan? Life has already been postponed, according to Aisling O'Loughlin because of the full schedule TV3 have in Jan.

    I hope that Red Rock is a success as it needed. But if the rest of the schedule is weak then Red Rock will automatically be weak. What leads in to Red Rock will be really important. Most Irish Viewers will be loyal to an Irish production but if it gets forgotten about in a haze of bad programming then soon they will forget its on the air.

    Really? That's a weird excuse. Now I'm expecting huge things from this new schedule.

    I too was hoping that it would move away from the reliance on emmerdale and corrie by now. But showing the Big Quiz - Emmerdale v Corrie in prime time on Tuesday night for the 4th time which was first broadcast in 2011 does not do anything in the long-term for tv3. Neither does showing corrie : the moving story yesterday, or the several family fortunes specials which focus on the soaps. They even had a repeat of the British soap awards on Monday. Which heavily contains the soaps - non of which will be on tv3 next year.

    Maybe it was just a case of burning off the shows which they've had before Jan comes, but they could have easily put them on past 1am or something.

    Back in the day before they acquired ITV soaps and programming, TV3 showed films, lots of US imports and then some programmes from Channel 5 in the UK.

    I imagine they will return to this format as they have never built up enough Irish programming in prime time.

    Unsure about Sunday yet. It will clash with The X Factor Results but that will only happen from August/September onwards.
    The Restaurant is marked in for a Wed 7th Jan slot too according to the Indo. So I'd presume this would start at 9pm.

    Biggest problem for TV3 is that there will be no lead in for these shows.

    Loyalty to an Irish production is not a given,Fair City struggled for years and thats on RTE. Loyalty to TV3 is questionable.

    Hopefully Red Rock is a success but it will,like all soaps need time and thats something that TV3 may not be able to provide.

    Wednesday and Thursday is a odd choice prime time omnibus like Ros Na Run?
