TV3e... God, that's a horrendous name.

If it turns into ITV2, it'll probably suit.

Emmerdale omnibus on Channel 6/TV3e on Sat the 3rd of January!

It's deffo gonna become an ITV2

How many times can you show Emmerdale?

TV3 repeat at 6:30am, during the afternoon, followed by a first showing at 7 and also an omnibus at the week end, will they keep their omnibus?

Elmo · 21-12-2008 11:08PM

In answer to my question TV3 will be showing Emmerdale at 10am, with Emmerdale Family Album start at 9:30 am.

At 10am, when is it on 10am? that's usually jeremy kyle.

TV3 took off the Emmerdale omnibus last january. I'd say they'll get rid of the 6.30am repeat anyway.

It's not looking good for C6. Xpose Review of the Year will be repeated on the 4th.

Do TV3 repeats count as a proportion of their required programming?

Can't imagine too many people watching them anyway but this is surely a terrible way to schedule it.

18:00 Emmerdale
18:30 Xpose

Pop Scene and Night Shift gone, starts broadcasting at 10am ends at 1am.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine starting and finishing the day.

TV3 Factorial!

I don't think I've ever watched more than 5 minutes of Channel 6.

You will possibly be watching even less now.

Latest on the schedule: -

Starts at 10am with Star Trek DS9
Repeat of Emmerdale at 6pm
Repeat of Xpose at 6:30pm in case you just missed it on TV3
Ends at 1am with Star Trek DS9.

iseegirls · 28-12-2008 06:11PM

Yeah so the main changes have been:
- Star Trek
- Emmerdale being repeated alongside XPOSE
- Lois And Clark - Series 3 - continuing on from TV3 which showed it on Sunday mornings.
- New Series of Las Vegas (Series 4)
- New Series of Terminator - Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Andromeda (i think it hasn't been showed on C6 before??)
- They will be showing a next episode of Dexter on Mondays at 11 - right after TV3. Very E4 thing to do.

Digiguide don't have TV3's listings up - so don't know how their schedule will be affected.
But on TV3.ie - they have Friends, House and Kildare Village (??) listed in their videos section.

Elmo · 28-12-2008 06:27PM

C6 had started out with Star Trek as part of their line up and it soon disappeared.

Also they axed Pop Scene, Take Six and Nightshift.

They will be showing a next episode of Dexter on Mondays at 11 - right after TV3. Very E4 thing to do.

It would be only that TV3 are starting Dexter from the beginning, C6 had season one before.

channelsurfer · 29-12-2008 04:08PM

oh great.... so another tv3 first......except that dexter has been on FX uk ..utv/itv at 10.40 and channel 6 and if its on at 10pm on tv3 that means law and order SVU makes way for it which is one of my favourite programmes!!!

methinks i would have preferred channel 6 to die a nice dignified death rather than have tv3 control it..

i think they started out with Star Trek - The Next Generation, but they will be showing Star Trek - Deep Space Nine from Monday onwards.

Yeah actually i can't find one homegrown show in the line-up (apart from repeat of XPose) it's disgraceful. How can we call this an Irish channel?

Have to say I'd rather have no homegrown shows rather than a repeat of Expose. Just because something is Irish doesn't make it automatically worth having. I'd much prefer a staple of decent US comedies and dramas than have to watch the dreadful stuff that's produced in Ireland. Of course it's a matter of taste (apparently lots of people LOVE Killinaskully) but I'd rather watch The Wire, Sopranos, Seinfeld or Family Guy than any of the Irish-produced shows on RTE, TG4 or TV3.

Unfortunately I fear that Channel 6 (or TV3e?) will become TV3's very own ITV2 which will show neither Irish-produced programmes nor great US shows, so we can look forward to Xtra Factor and the Emmerdale omnibus....

Well they could repeat a few good homegrown shows. Buy RTÉ back catalogue would be better then what they are planning. Even Popscene and Nightshift had their own quality to them, I kind of like their lack of quality it was better then the gloss that tries to hide Xposes uselessness.

Jesus what muppet thought that was a good idea? Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!

patrickmooney · 03-01-2009 01:54AM

More to the point, why can't UPC figure out a way to allow us to keep the programmes we've recorded. Not on really.

Also note the name of DVR box, it's now Digital+.

You don't know how right you are Mike! I have it on good authority that 3e is short for "3's excrement"
