    I mean come on, with it's tabloid nonsense, it's semi-literate news readers and it's constant feed of reality type muck.

    I think it is the worst possible channel out there.

    Well, I suppose TV3 make Channel 6 look like a professional, competent, media-savvy organisation. But this isn't about Channel 6, this is about the "I failed media studies" half-wits who work at TV3.

    Without a doubt the worst channel going.

    And as for the IQ of the people working there.....

    I have to agree. I mean could they at least try to compete with the Uk channels?

    I will defend TV3, I think this is the first time someone other then me has posted an anti-TV3 thread.

    The IQ level is good enough to realise that they can earn 20,000,000 in profits each year without caring about what the channel is actually like.

    I never thought I would be pro-TV3 :)

    Ah yes but they are stupid enough to think that they can spam an online message board and not get caught.

    I stopped watching iTV3 when when they continually screwed up the scheduling of The Shield. Whoever is in charge of scheduling there should be fired, they've been doing the exact same thing, with many shows, since their inception.

    It also took them 10 years to fix their oh so terrible website.

    Any channel that can broadcast that evil little sp**K merchant Jeremy Klye is just the lowest of the low, and the fact that they just show repeats because he was taken off the air says all you need to know about TV3.

    Oh and the cheek of Vincent Browne on tv3's nightly news saying tv3 was as good as rte is some joke. As bad as rte are at least they try to make programs that don't just involve a intern holding a camera at a "journalist" taking about how the recession has boned us all - thats not irish programming thats brain dead tv!!!

    I will defend them only to the point that they introduced the sheild to Irish tv.

    Everything else about em - monkey balls.

    It's nothing but ITV-lite - I can't understand why anyone with ITV or UTV
    would need to even have TV3 tuned in.

    TG4, a channel in another language I don't even understand is better than TV3 and there weather presenters are hotter too.

    That is some indictment of TV3. TG4 is miles better.

    I like their morning tv programme (except for that twat Cagney). No other good morning tv shows on ANY other channel at the moment.

    TV4 is actually a decent enough channel for films. They generally show quite risqué films that the mainstream channels won't.

    RTE just makes my blood boil (apart from Reeling in the Years).

    RTE2 is still Network2 to me, I like that channel more, though that's because they get to show the fun stuff, like Desperate Housewives.

    On the plus side for all the TV3 haters out there, at least the only taxpayers money they get is from RTE advertising on them. Maybe the odd grant here and there...

    AFAIK, TV3 get a slice of the TV license fee also but they must wipe their arse with it for all the quality programming you see on it.

    Wait until next season when they have (exclusive Irish rights to) the Champions League on Wednesday nights, we'll all have to watch it then.

    Apart from the fact not everyone watches football, are ITV showing the same?

    Nah - check out Buzz TV on NTL. Now, that takes some beating.

    Is that the one with Sumo TV or somesuch weirdo programme on it all the time? My eyes bled once when I accidently left that channel on.
