    Bet RTÉ are disappointed that the votes not on Friday, exit polls have become part of TLLS

    Definitely. The LLS will put almost anything on to fill out the 2 hours.

    Given that they're not involved in the funding of this exit poll, it should be interesting to see what they do at 10pm.


    They’ll probably have someone watching RTÉ One and telling Collette Fitzpatrick through her ear piece what the results are. She can then say reports are coming in.....

    Surely her pol corr will have tweeted the result by then?

    And that's exactly what happened. And it was a mess.

    Yep, not as free flowing. There was Matt getting reports through his ear, some of the panelists writing them down, confusion over who got the highest, and then even 10minutes later - the images being shown were incorrect, with the panel having to correct Matt.

    Today has been quite odd. They went very heavy with reporters at 8 or 9 count station from 8.30am onwards. But they were gone for the 3hour show with Ivan and Matt from 8pm onwards.

    Just not quite sure why removing your reporters from count centres when more results come through later in the day.

    That generation dating show on Tuesday night was actually quite good. Just looked at next Tuesdays schedule and it’s not on. If they bring out a new show, there needs to be consistency with scheduling to build an audience - otherwise it’s worthless

    Is the Six o’Clock Show always late starting?I was watching the news this evening and tv was left on VM1. The show didn’t start till 18.08 and the EPG had it as starting 7 minutes ago. I remember before noticing it was late but assumed then it was because of an over run.

    I think they rather overrun the news and weather a bit, so they hope some don't flick over to RTE One at that time. But then again - there's at least a 5 minute break between the end of the news and TSOCS which probably doesn't help retain viewers.

    Looking on their Player, TSOCS has a run-time of 40 minutes.
    Also noticed that the hour long News At 12 is actually condensed into 35 minutes. They must plug some load of adverts within that hour so.

    News At 12 - 35 minutes
    News At 5:30 - 23 minutes
    News At 8 - 17 minutes

    News at 12 is effectively a 30 minute news bulletin shown twice to fill an hour slot.

    I read the article, I might have missed the August retirement, he's only 60 and just out of bankruptcy how could he possibly afford to retire!

    A programme of Who Wants to be a Millionaire went out at 9pm on VM1. Was that in place of Love Island? Was it a new programme or a repeat?

    Yep, it was from New Years Day 2019 edition. Looks like VM2 are showing the first Jeremy Clarkson series (again) from 2018 stripped across next week. Even though they've still yet to show the newer episodes from Christmas and in January just gone.

    You will never see those recent Millionaire episodes on Virgin would be my guess.

    The recent series of Millionaire over last Christmas into January was a celebrity charity specials which was not carried on VM.
    There is suppose to be a new series next month.

    Both RTÉ2 & VM Two have coverage of Athletico Madrid vs Liverpool at 7pm.

    If your not into Football. VM Three has live coverage of The Brit Awards tonight at 8pm.

    They do? That’s not on the Sky EPG, the Chase, the Restaurant, and Autospsy listed for me.

    It would appear to be within VM’s rights mind you, though with RTE Two’s higher EPG position I would have expected minimal impact on viewership.

    No, they had it in the weekly TV guides I believe. They also could have shown the other CL match, but now they've replaced it with Autopsy and The Restaurant. The highlights show remains on VM2 at 10.

    Apologies for that. I saw a listing for it in the RTÉ Guide tonight. It's on Virgin Media Sport as usual for their subscribers. Lesson learned.

    The Brit Awards on VM Three is a strange one though. How come that is not given a higher placing on VM Two's listings?

    TV3 - main channel
    3e - youth channel
    be3 - female classic channel

    Now

    VMTV one - TWO - THREE - and repeat

    The death of Caroline Flack and the negative effect tabloid journalism can have on people's lives is one reason I'm delighted that Xposé bollocks was axed in October. I doubt they'll ever bring it back now.

    No they did just didn’t notice their constant promotions of these shows.

    Time shifted because of Wales v France postgame, I think?
