What Is Itv Doing With It's Evening's Top Viewing Time?

[anotheoldgit]

Monday's was taken up with football and Tuesday's apparently was all about Slimming and diets etc. at least I think it was, not having watched it.

Not often I pop into ITV these days - no footy or diets on tonight that I can see gladly.

What does it matter what ITV is doing with it's "evening's top viewing time"? It has the same right as any other channel to show what it wishes...just as you have the right to watch or not watch.

I'm sorry your TV can only receive one channel, how inconvenient.

My aren't you in a nasty mood today?

I think gingebee raises a valid point. there are 100's of other Channels available so why complain about one you say you didn't watch?

## What does it matter what ITV is doing with it's "evening's top viewing time"? .##

It matters very much ginger, we are the viewing public, and they have a broadcasting licence to entertain the viewers.

We are getting saturated with cooking (how many times do you want to be taught, how to cook a chicken leg?), healthy living diets, reality celebs lives, programmes etc.
Once they have been repeated a dozen or so times, they pop up on the 100s of other channels.

Lets have some dramas.

AOG....nothing "nasty" about my mood, nor my comment.
trt....just because the programmes you cited don't "entertain" YOU, doesn't mean they don't entertain lots of others.
We don't watch much that is on ITV....but don't feel the need to continually complain about it's schedules, either.

Totally agree with you aog - I normally watch things I've recorded these days (apart from Corrie)!

Is it true they are making a peak time series of Eats, Shoots and Leaves? I do hope so ...
