Did I hear Simon Delaney mention that we could watch the Chasers trip on ITV hub? It was on Ireland Am over the weekend after they interviewed Shaun Wallace? Can't remember which day as I had the tv on in the background while doing other things.

To repeat something I have said here multiple times. They are a garbage channel who do as little as possible, so don't be surprised at even these little annoyances...

The clip even has Thursdays at 9pm on ITV. Then a clip of The Chase with Virgin Media ONE weekdays at 2pm.

And Simon finish by saying the time on ITV and that you can go to the ITV Hub.

I don't think the Hub is available in Ireland.

So Virgin Media had someone on promoting a show that is shown on a channel not available here (officially) and then said viewers could watch it on a geoblocked catchup service?

Farcical really.

Great work by them.

The SD version of Virgin Media Three has the HD DOG/logo on their TV boxes

Im glad other people heard him going on about it. Unless there are plans for ITV hub to be launched here in the very near future it was very sloppy for a presenter to talk about it. They are a bit of a joke with all of these repeats etc on over and over again. And to make it worse they don't broadcast some soaps at the same time as ITV especially 2nd half of eg Emmerdale. I wonder is that something to do with the news people who don't seem to want to work at all judging by the lack of it over the Christmas holidays. When I was leaving sky last year I told them it's because we can't get ITVs and channel 5s here. The rep said it was because virgin don't want the ITVs on Irish schedules. Talk about having your cake and eating it. They really should be shut down and let ITV be shown here as they are a right crowd of jokers.

Rant over lol

I think during COVID they choose to keep the 8:30 slot for Coro St while ITV choose the traditional 7:30 meaning Virgin Media one was an hour behind ITV.

TBH the 8pm News goes out Monday to Friday and the choose to move it the Thursday night edition of Emmerdale to 8:30 following the news. I suppose their audience hasn't been effected by it.

Otherwise they are on the same schedule for the soaps.

As I said if UTV Ireland had done all of this it would be wall to wall across the media.

Friday night Coronation Street is the one that's moved on VM1 in the past few weeks. On ITV they've merged the 2 episodes to an hour now, starting at 7.30. VM1 have instead put their "News At 8" to start at 7.30, and have Corrie at 8. So they are a half an hour behind.

Only reason I can presume is that they want the high audience from Corrie leading into their 9pm shows.

Elaine Crowley is looking well lately..
