    As we have known since day 1 of the announcment it will be showing the same auld ITV ****e as TV3. In fact both channel will be showing Jeremy Kyle all next week.

    Very weird Ireland AM this morning.

    What do you reckon the future holds for TV3? Play TV, Psychics?

    Another tv channel that I will never watch.
    I suppose at least I am not paying for this one (as opposed to TG4).

    The lineup is rubbish beyond words, nothing of note for an adult male to watch.
    Kyle for the dole scroungers in the morning, and Corrie for the bored housewifes in the evening.

    Only watch ITV for their drama, Lewis, Mr Selfridge and the like.
    I'll tune in for those at least

    Who is them?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's on UPC now - both UTV NI and UTV NI HD are already gone and replaced by the pre-launch loop.

    Sloppy job really.. UPC could have either cut over seamlessly this evening or UTV could have simulcast UTV NI till then. As it is it's a whole day of programming wasted. Can't imagine people who watch UTV being pleased today!

    There does seem to be a UTV Ireland HD though

    I used to watch Ire Am for years, then it just turned into a fashion show, modelling cheap, **** dresses for tenner etc...

    TG4 showed the Dublin Leonard Cohen concert last night. Great show.
    Their coverage of GAA games is brilliant too in fairness.

    There are an awful amount of channels I'd get rid of before TG4. They might talk funny on a lot of it's programming but they do have a lot of good shows on

    No offence to UTV Ireland,but the way you have labelled this seems like a count down to the end of the the world.

    Crappy Irish television; television; something.

    UTV launch "TV" in 11 hours.

    At least Denis O Brien doesn't own it as part of his empire.

    Couldn't believe it when the Government allowed him to keep the stranglehold he has on the Irish media.

    Way way too much power concentrated in the hands of a man with such a dubious past.

    That'd be FG's "Uncle Denis" then... last time round it was ESAT, now it's IW (siteserv) and the media.

    No surprise really.
