The English news cover amazing stories such as members of the house of windsors visitings a random commonwealth countries, Harry acting the maggot or William in the army.It's not news here, and certainly won't sell papers here or abroad. Anyway I meant that it would be inconceivable that anyone would miss the above news with all the british based news content available on UPC for those that care. Not that I believe many would.

Dear ▓▓▓▓▓▓, Thank you for your email to UTV Ireland. As a new channel which is still growing we are keen to hear your views and comments. We are experiencing some technical difficulties around our subtitling and we are working to fix these problems as quickly as possible. We are also speaking to our listing partners as some information has been printed incorrectly regarding which programmes are categorised ‘S’ and ‘AD’. We hope the issue will be resolved as soon as possible. In the interim please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused. Once again thank you for getting in touch. Kind regards Maeve Donnelly

I am surprised that a public service broadcaster like RTÉ chose a commercial entity ITN over the BBC (UK's public service broadcaster) however; it must have come down to pounds, shillings and pence at the end of the day and ITN also has an excellent track record in terms of news gathering, quality and overall delivery.

AwaitYourReply wrote: » Many Irish people down through the years loved their fix of British tabloid newspapers like the now defunct News Of The World, The Sun, Match of the Day, Sky Sports, BBC, ITV, UTV(NI), UTV Ireland, Channel 4 etc; The Royals always sold newspapers and here in this country, Irish people would have bought the red top tabloids to check out the latest gossip on them! It has often been said that we Irish can be full of many contradictions - no playing of foreign games - hurling & football only! However; while some of the other sports were frowned upon they eventually became popular again: Soccer, Rugby Union, Basketball, Cricket, Hockey, Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Volleyball and so on. I guess this is also a possible explanation as to why it is can be so difficult for a company like UTV Media plc in Belfast to read us correctly as our attitudes and tastes for a relatively small nation can vary greatly, a bit like the wide range in accents and dialects throughout the length and breadth of Ireland.
