    I would show BBCone HD and channel 4 HD :)

    I'd have "The Public Channel", A place where people could rent airtime to broadcast their own show. Would be amazing for up and coming animators and comedians. A place where musicians could Try and get their big break using their talent, Like an Open Mic :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭AstralTV


    I'd have a rolling advert for 'Freesat'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭sob1467


    I would have an Irish Sky News Channel which focuses mainly on Irish news rather than focusing predominantly on English stories.

    Rugby TV! Non stop rugby, 24/7:D

    Wikileaks type channel, broadcasting "secret" live feeds from inside, for instance:

    - FIFA meetings

    - ECB meetings

    - Ollie Rehn meetings

    I would make a Boards TV channel, have each forum come up with ideas of what to put in a half hour slot to help the people of Ireland.

    For example, the cooking club forum could demonstrate the weekly recipe for a slot. The motors forum could give their tips and advice on motor maintenance and safety and what car to buy. The games forum could do try outs, reviews and recommendations etc. The ideas could be endless.

    Clients who pay for advertising on boards could get the advertising slots between shows.

    SuperInjunction Channel
    Can't wait to see which footballer is next to take out one & then be revealed on Twitter.............. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,630 ✭✭✭The Recliner


    I would show exactly the same content as Sky1 as that is obviously the best channel going


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,641 ✭✭✭touts


    sky opportunity:
    a channel for new material. Pilots and first seasons from around the world of the shows that dont have the big network PR departments spinning then onto Sky One or Sky Atlantic. Show the first season and see if they build an audience. Who knows what little gems are out there just waiting for an airing to build momentum to make it to a second season or even beyond the pilot. Some time could also be dedicated to emerging talent to show films and shorts from young directors.

    Sky Packages:

    A shopping channel dedicated to selling over priced packages. Euro equivalent of sterling priced items would be hugely more expensive. Also I'd add a premium for packages that are wrapped in super quality, crystal clear packaging.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    Banjos 24/7. A +1 channel wouldn't be a bad idea also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭homelink


    I'd have the "Bail Out Channel"! We could just go on & on about how much money we owe & have a running total 24/7.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,605 ✭✭✭Reg'stoy


    My channel would show adverts, just adverts 24/7 because every time I flick channels it's advert, advert, end titles, advert and yep another advert. Maybe if there was one channel just showing adverts the rest of them might not have to show quite as many as they do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    The Charlie Sheen channel. A channel where the comedian rants, gives advice and gives tutorials how we too can start "Winning".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 743 ✭✭✭ahyeahok


    edit... idea already done lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,078 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Breaking Bad & The Wire re-runs 24/7


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭lorweld


    I'd have a channel dedicated to learning different languages. The programmers would run on a lesson basis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28 cathy48


    one for Competitons and the sponsors would pay for it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭aN.Droid


    My TV channel would show an entire season of one show at a time, when it came the end of a series i would just show a different one!

    A youth/schools channel where youth clubs & classes in schools can broadcast the films/documentaries that they film within their community. The likes of the Trinity School Completion Programme do fantastic work with schools but it's rare that the films they record actually get broadcast, if ever.

    It would encourage youth to take an interest in their community and showing it in a good light. It offers them an opportunity to learn a new skill which they will have for life and the wider audience may learn something new about different areas of the country.

    Just a thought!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    I'd have a comprehensive Extreme sports channel, Showing all types of sports, Roller derby, Wake boardsing, FMX etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 314 ✭✭mell61


    Lifestyle programming... some fashion, some interior design stuff, gardening, cooking, gossip, and lots of re-runs of fashion police!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭shizz


    I would combine all of Dave's programmes with Come Dine With me :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭meep


    My channel would combine quality drama, science-based documentaries, entertainment and movies. No age criteria. Material could be old or new.

    Typical material might include;


    -Horizon
    -The West Wing
    -Any Brian Cox series
    -BSG
    -Biographies
    -Dr. Who
    -The Wire
    -Game of Thrones

    And the like.

    Series would be run in 3 episode blocks equivalent to a typical movie duration and in specific timeslots and would run each day until complete (no waiting from week to week for episodes).

    There would be a 'guilty pleasure' slot nightly where select (better) episodes of old shows from the 80s would run. eg McGyver, The A-Team, Greatest American Hero etc.

    The channel would integrate tightly with the viewing platform and support the following features;

    -Follow me viewing using networked receivers: Start watching live or timeshifted content in one room, move to another room with a different tuner but continue watching where I left off

    -More like this: if I like particular content, the system can recommend similar content, possible from crowdsourced database. Voting for broadcast of this new content will feed into channel scheduling for future!

    -Recommend to a friend: All me interact with friends while watching, suggesting shows friends might like.

    The channel would be ad-free. I wouldn't mind subscribing.

    I'd have a Rolling non stop funny stuff from web sources like youtube, the chive, failblog etc and also skits submitted by the public and pros alike.

    Its the channel you can goto when nothing else is on and just be guaranteed a laugh or a WTF moment.

    Even the real advertisements have to be Funny and if done well enough would sit seamlessly with the rest of the broadcast so it would be like they arent even paid adverts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭cyberspi


    A musicals channel, showing all types of musicals - classic, modern, live, amateur performances and musical episodes from tv shows. Also documentaries about the making of, stars of musicals, behind the scenes. intertwined with singing and dance class tv series, and reruns of dancing with the stars, dancing on ice, how do you solve a problem like maria? etc..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    HB-oh

    low budget remakes of HBO's best loved programmes. With an all puppet cast.

    Picture it, The Wire performed by puppets! fun for the whole family!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 135 ✭✭shoxter


    I would have a channel which follows a person throughout their working day, it would be entertaining and would also provide career advice for young people

    You're supposed to make the pacman smilie after making statements like that. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,314 ✭✭✭Technoprisoner


    my channel would be 3D Female mud wrestling.....could you imagine all those bikini clad models in 3D :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    Non-stop Paula Dean.



    Who doesn't want to learn how to make Deep Fried Cheesecake rolled in icing sugar and then topped with more icing sugar? She also has a recipe for Deep Fried Butter Balls.

    Enough said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Gulliver


    A channel that shows only animated shows for grown ups. King of The Hill and stuff like that (sorry, NO Simpsons! too saturated) before the watershed, Ren and Stimpy, Drawn Together, Venture Bros, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Happy Tree Friends etc. later on. Regular Anime slots (Dragonball Z Kai). Get the Marvel/DC OVAs, Akira. Tickle nostalgia with Transformers movie.

    The shows have to be shown in order, none of this jumping around in series, even if the episodes are stand-alone.

    There was an Anime channel that showed some decent shows but it just disappeared, so maybe a mix of different animation styles might be a winner.

    A channel with no adverts at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,921 ✭✭✭✭hdowney


    if it was my channel, with what i want on it, it would consist of all my favourite crime shows. so the csi franchise, the ncis franchise, criminal minds, without a trace (cancelled i know), cold case (also cancelled), oldies such as inspector morse, a touch of frost etc. everything crime showy that i love all in one place.

    i would never leave the couch again!!! oh the heaven :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭proulx


    My channel would be a that shows the crowd like during Gaelic matches and not the match so when the kids (or whoever) comes home from the match you can say you spotted them on tv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,152 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    Great Competition!

    If I had my own channel on Sky, I would show 3D content 24/7.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭TiGeR KiNgS


    My Sky Channel would have 24/7 Travel programming from exotic locations in HD and 3D.

    Nothing better than blue skys, blue waters and secluded beaches to really show off HD and 3D.

    Puts a smile on my face even thinking about it :D

    I would have a music channel dedicated to showing entire concerts from all around the world, either live, or shown a short time after, as some people may not be able to go to such locations, or have the money to see them live in person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭bop1977


    My channel line up would be decided by the viewers (who text in to a premium rate text number) what programs they want to watch next.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭Tomtata


    Mine would be a Good News Channel!

    Like Sky News but only focus on good / positive news stories form around Ireland, down to very basic of stories.

    I haven't seen a good news story in the media in months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,322 ✭✭✭sham69


    An App Channel that shows you all the apps available currently for apple and androide etc with screen shots and ratings etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 bm92


    A Condensed Info Channel !! Its aim would be to quick and to the point news, reviews and opinions. Like the new english paper "i" . It could have news in brief, interviews, reviews of gadgets and tech and other review shows on cars, services, sports etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 housesale


    WHat A Competition!!!!

    Here is my suggestions

    either a channel that re-ran old childrens and young adults TV shows (Fraggle Rock, Bosco, Wanderly Wagon, T-bag, Knightmare, Fun House, Balamory, Lamb Chops Play-A-Long etc) as it would be better than what the kids are growing up with now (Spongebob etc). you could make it interactive so that parents can decide (or the child themselves) what to watch and when..........

    Or else a channel that only shows the ultimate in TV shows - EG: MacGyver, CHiPs, Ironside, Cheers, Doogie Howser M.D, Married.......With Children, M*A*S*H, Moonlighting, Prisoner - Cell Block H (Suggested by the wife), Hillstreet Blues, Wiseguy, Taxi etc etc.

    Or else a 3D channel showing some of the worlds nature and extreme sports at it's finest (Waterfalls, Avalanches, Vista's from forests and mountains, Stunt flying, Skateboarding, Kayaking, Wakeboarding, Tetherboarding, etc etc) In 3D it would be fab, and throw in a bit of education with it, facts etc, it would put the history channel in close competition

    They would be channels i would have no problem paying a subscription for!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,281 ✭✭✭Ricky91t


    Extreme sports channel in 3D!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    I'd probably do a gaming/technology channel.

    I'd show:

    gaming reviews,
    Ted Talks,
    Gadget reviews,
    live Gaming tournaments (such as mlg etc),
    and anything else that fits the bill...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,265 ✭✭✭rameire
