ITV3

A while back I started a thread about ITV3 and how it failed, in what it promise us, when its still the old BLUE ITV3 logo, the General comment was it had, where was the Great ITV dramas, comedies, classic programme, it was filled up with Trash!

But now I think ITV3 is BEST out of the whole ITV channels going, Their have now giving us our Great dramas, good comedy classic programmes, Show old ITV programmes form years gone by,and there even have great films. along with UKTV drama there are the best channel on the telly. And I think that ITV3 is the only decent thing there got right!

Give me a good comedy, DRAMA, and murder any day over soaps, cheap dramas and Airline big bother and all those nasty programmes!

Whether it's the best or not depends on personal opinion. For example, I think it's rubbish because I don't like it's programming, but of course there will be other people who love it.

ITV 3 + 1 given up today ?

'This is ITV 3 + 1' on the epg most of the day.

Why did they launch a + 1 channel when they haven't got the rights to reshow stuff?

You can always rely on ITV to cock up a new service to us viewers!

Because the viewing contracts for Two Ronnies were one showing only and were drawn up many many months ago before the timeshift channels were seen as a good idea - it was only this time last year that ITV announced they didn't see a need for them at all, and their launch was pretty rushed to get them going. This rushing is nothing new, ITV3 ended up on Sky literally twenty minutes after getting clearance to shut Granada Plus down.

Anyway its far more economical to redraw broadcasting rights at the next renewal date and factor the timeshift channel repeat in then as opposed to altering them mid-run.
