It's followed I assume by a repeat of First Dates with 71,000 viewers. And preceded by Building Ireland with 68,000 viewers. Wildlife programming ranged from 70,000 for Animal Super Parents to 52,000 viewers for This Wild Life, both of which I think could be repeats. Home and Away ranges from 55,000 viewers to 65,000 viewers. New series of Bridget and Eamon had 70,000 viewers. Sports wise TG4 (the sponsor) Ladies All Ireland Highlight on 2 had just 63,000 but this compares to live coverage of SSE Airtrcity League live game of just 54,000. Is it not the Daily Mail League now? Greyhound racing had 48,000 viewers. Emmys had 60,000. While one of their standard life docs Schizophrenia: The Voices In My Head had just 47,000 viewers at number 20, but this could have been Repeat from the previous week. Record audience for TG4 for the live match over 300,000 viewers.

Xfactor on Sunday night had just 158,000 viewers with just 129,000 on Saturday though I believe their were technical issues. Irish shows Living with Lucy had 116,000 viewers with Gogglebox getting 141,000 viewers. Pat Kenny had just 103,000 viewers, no sign of The Tonight Show. I don't know if its a good idea to have 2 similar current affairs shows on Wednesday night.

Elmo wrote: » Xpose? Xpose is the product of quantity over quality at TV3. TV3 for the last 10 years and I'd say even now have wanted to say that they have 50% of their programming coming from Ireland. TV3 spread their staff across multiple shows. If they did drop it, it most likely would result in jobs losses those people would move to other current programmes. If they did axe it, they have 23hours of Red Rock they could replace it with on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 7:30 Coro St 8pm Red Rock 8:30 Coro St and should they wish 9pm Red Rock Or even just on a monday and a friday.
