ITV 3 Has failed

NO!

I like wacthing some of the show on ITV3 like forst,

but what there said and what there have done is two complaety diffarent things. I like all the Non daytime shows on itv3 but there still alot of show there not showing!!!! like those one off drama, and countless other show which would provide viewer with a wider range of programmes, on itv3. I can't see these been used on ITV4

I bet you can't find somone on this forom who hates itv3 programmes!

Yes, Hallelujah !! finally some 4 hours later, somebody else had to give some examples to support your argument. I understand now.

I think my biggest problem with the channel is that the schedule still seems experimental, even some 10 months on. It has no real structure with programmes and films dotted all over the place and moving timeslot.

However, they must be doing something right, as ITV3 had a very succesful launch and has quickly established itself in the digital world.

ITV3 is designed for people like my parents and grandparents who love watching old Morses and Frosts and other John Thaw / David Jason stuff.

But I would like to see other bits added to ITV3 - instead of classic drama, films and repeats of Bill, Corrie and Emmerdale, lets have some reruns classic gameshows like Blockbusters - I'm sure Challenge? don't hold all the rights - or even Millionaire from 1998. Classic Bill eps from 1980s - and lets not forget early London's Burning - how I miss it.

Saturday morning ITV3 could be perfect for showing old SM:TVs, or even a Chart Show-style retro music show.

Thoughts?

A: uk tv gold has the rights to the bill and will problay start showing the 80's epsiode again when the cacth up with the bil, mordon epsiodes.

B : Challenge has the right to millionare even the early one as ther been showing the eopside in order fro a while! & some of the blockbuster shows

But I like your ideas bring back blockbuster & sale of the century adn classic cacthpahse !!!

smtv on a satuday morning mm will Why not tiswas... I don't think that will every happen!!

Honestly the bickering that goes on at this forum makes me sick.

I hear what you're saying 623058. I think ITV3 tend to repeat a lot of the same type of show.

Actually ITV3 hasn't failed at all. it is reaching its demographic ( 40+ abc1) and proportionately has a healthier audience base than the Mothership ITV1 and its sibling ITV2. It is paying its way and attracting healthy ad revenue. And all without any fuss, not alot of promotion and and largely by word of mouth.
Depends on your definition of failure.

A: this place is helping that
B: it failing in proving the programme were promised we would getsome for them anyways.

Sorry? Didn't quite get that....

sorry I'm not repetingmyself like ITV read the last 30 post you should understand where I'm going!

I think reading your previous posts makes it even more confusing.

Listen 623058, I realise you are dyslexic, but your posts are impossibly difficult to read and understand.

For the benefit of all, not least yourself; could you run your posts through a spellchecker first and take care of some of the worst of the words?

Otherwise these conversations are useless.

Though it could have a tighter schedule, I think ITV3 have pretty much got primetime sorted.

It's the daytime schedule which is disapointing, filled mainly with old American dramas. They did have classic Millionaire at launch, but these were phased out quite quickly.


I'd say increasing the number of British programmes in the daytime schedule would be an improvement, putting in a couple of classic comedies like Rising Damp and I'd say playing out things like Morse, Frost, Midsomer Murders and Sharpe in two-hour slots in the afternoon.
