The Late Late Gay Byrne Irish Television Thread

The new name for TV3 looks crap already.



Also, when did Xpose move to the TV3 News studio?

Well all agree the name is awful. Xpose moving into the news studio could simply be work is being done in the larger studio, so the news studio was the only option. Unlike RTE, they only have two studios.

Personally I think Xpose looks better in the news studio than the old Xpose box set.

They might sub divide their larger studio, and Xpose might have their own part of that 5,000 Sq Ft studio

And Guess the new DOG will be hideously large so you can see the VM logo.

I imagine the DOGs will be the big ONE / TWO / THREE logos with the Virgin logo in the 'O's' of one and two. Not sure where it is on three.

It's inside the R.

I still can't believe this is really happening.. this has to be the most fetched rebrand in the history of television in the British Isles
Well, this along with "Oneness"

Any time someone says that, I’m afraid I always have one word for them...

I know this is an old post, but aren't there also more specific rules dictated by the Minister? In addition to the maximum of 9 minutes, of course

It's not as bad, IMO

Particularly because we're talking about the main commercial station in Ireland

Specifically in relation to PSBs? I don’t think so. The relevant section is s106(3) of the Broadcasting Act 2009 but it does not confer any power on the Minister in relation to advertising other than to approve the maximum daily and hourly minutes that a broadcasting corporation sets.
