    Christ TV3 is ahead of RTE2. Presumably from the ten percent of the poulation that watch soaps on a regular basis.

    Yes Coro St and Emmers make up much of TV3 share as do the ITV Reality Shows.

    RTE Two are in second position for 2006 due to The World Cup, Rodge and Podge, DH, Lost and other Sporting Shows.

    However it will prob go back the other way for 2007 as TV3 have rights to the Irish Games at the Rugby World Cup, and setanta have the rights for all of the world cup matches.

    But now that ITV have lost their stake in TV3, RTE could win the rights to the soaps in Autumn. If that happens, TV3 are screwed.

    Well it will be another few years before RTE get to bid on any of ITV's rights with a few exceptions. TV3 have the rights for another few years, however they haven't stated when their current contract with ITV for their shows will run out. (Or at least I haven't heard)

    I hope if and when those rights do end that RTE do not buy the rights, IMO RTE shouldn't be showing even EastEnders, they need something more creative on RTE and their are far better shows from Britian then Soap. (Well a few at least).
