    TV3 have become so busy and popular that they can only afford to show the same programme twice in one week.
    They've now started having to show repeats on Channel 6.

    The Apprentice.
    Monday 9pm - TV3
    Friday 9pm - TV3
    Sunday 7pm - Channel 6

    AFAIK TV3 now own C6. And C6, God bless them, have always been the 'repeat' channel. A good channel for someone like me who never watched 24 or The Wire when originally screened.

    great.

    so, ITV broadcast a programme, TV3 simulcast it, then repeat it on their own channel, THEN repeat it on channel 6?!!!

    I suggest that we urgently need legislation to create channel 7, which could show the channel 6 tv3 repeats ...

    TV3 did buy Channel 6. IMO in the coming years what you are going to see are the following trends at Channel 6: -

    Shows like Xtra Factor, Celebair, Coronation Street/Emmerdale Albums and spin off shows to Britain's got Talent appearing over on Channel 6 directly after TV3's simulcast of their ITV shows. I.E. Channel 6 will become ITV2.

    You will also see many of the great repeat shows that Channel 6 have bought in being replaced by TV3 only repeats e.g. Fringe, Terminator, The Apprentice and if we are lucky Xpose.

    And then eventually the re-branding of the channel to look more like TV3-2.

    So if you hate the words "Up next on 3... I am so cool" (I hate TV3 so much I even hate their continuity announcers), look forward to even more blandness from the new look Channel 6.
