Virgin Media Two,also calledVirgin Two,[1][2]is an Irishfree-to-airtelevision channel operated byVirgin Media Television(a subsidiary ofVirgin Media Ireland).[3]

History

[edit]

2006–2009

[edit]

Channel 6was launched on 30 March 2006,[4]then operated by Kish Media's subsidiary Channel 6 Broadcasting Ltd. Kish Media was a consortium made up of Tullamore Beta Ltd (Windmill Lane Productions &Paul McGuinness(U2manager); owners ofTV3), the Barry family of Barry's Tea, and Gowan Group. In its infant stages, the channel's consortium invested €14 million to fund the project. It was anticipated that Channel 6 would launch further channels including a Channel 6+1 service and a music channel.

In 2008, Kish Media announced the channel was for sale. In July 2008, it was confirmed thatTV3had purchased Kish Media for €10 million.[5]The channel continued to broadcast as Channel 6 for a further six months, when TV3 began to promote Channel 6 programming on its main channel.

The station's firstmanaging directorwas Martin Drake, who left the company after just eight months, and after a period under interim CEO Mark Kellett, the channel's top job was taken by Managing Director Michael Murphy, who later left the channel when it was fully transferred to TV3 and integrated into the TV3 Group. In December 2008, TV3 confirmed it would to re-brand Channel 6 to 3e on 5 January 2009. Though 3e shares some of the same shareholders and programmes as Channel 6, there was no formal connection between the two stations, until 2008 when Tullamore Beta took control of the channel.

2009–2016

[edit]

3e was a replacement for Channel 6, which first broadcast on 30 March 2006.[4]In 2008, it was announced the channel was for sale. In July 2008, it was confirmed thatTV3had purchased the parent company, Kish Media, for €10 million.[5]The channel continued to broadcast as Channel 6 for a further 6 months before it was re-branded as 3e. Prior to its relaunch TV3 began to promote Channel 6 programming on its main channel. Including the 2008 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, which previously aired on TV3 and subsequently aired on 3e until 2014. Channel 6 Broadcasting Ltd remains a subsidiary of TV3 posting profits of 4million euro in 2015.[6][7]

In December 2008, TV3 confirmed it was to rebrand Channel 6 to3eon 5 January 2009. The channel would use existing TV3 programming and provide TV3 audiences with a wider range of programming. 3e provides viewers with a mix of US and Australian acquisitions.

It is also used as a TV3 replay service featuring repeats of previously broadcast programs on TV3 such asIreland AM,XposéandMidday.It was reported on 24 July 2009;TV3 Groupsought to change 3e's licensing from theBroadcasting Commission of Ireland.[8]

On 29 July 2009, theBroadcasting Commission of Irelandannounced that the 3e licence would be licensed under Section 34, rather than Sections 36 and 41, of the Broadcasting Act 2001. This means that 3e is no longer a separate cable and satellite service rather it will be covered by the main terms and conditions of the existing TV3 contract.[9]

2010–present:
In November 2010, the TV3 Group confirmed 3e made financial losses, but returned to a profit in 2011.[10]

From November 2010, 3e began to air in the majority of homes in Ireland as it became one of the test channels onSaorview.By May 2012, the channel became available to 98% of homes in Ireland through Saorview and also available on other digital television providers.

3e was expected to receive a revamped on-air presentation in November 2014, but it appears that the transition has been either delayed or abandoned.[11]

2017

[edit]

On 9 January 2017, 3e was re-launched as part of a wider repositioning of TV3 Group's networks with the launch ofbe3.3e was re-vamped as an entertainment-oriented network aimed towards viewers aged 15–44.[12][13][14]

In June 2018, it was announced that 3e was rebranded asVirgin Media Twoon 30 August 2018, as part of a rebranding of all three TV3 channels under the Virgin Media brand.[15]

Restructuring

[edit]

With the announcement that TV3 Group would operate the channel. It was confirmed in December 2008 that TV3 had decided not to recommission the majority of Channel 6's homegrown programming which includedNight Shiftwhich had a cult following. The controversial move to cancel the series was reported in the media with major criticism from music journalists and music fans.[16]Other shows which were cancelled with TV3's acquisition of Channel 6 included music showsDay Shift,Pop Scene,andTake 6,a weekly movie review show.

From 2009, TV3 began to use the channel as a replay service. In late 2010, 3e began producing its own programming which includesFYI(previously3e News) andUploaded.FYIwas subsequently dropped in favour or TV3 News at 8, with bulletins replaced byThe Thread.

3e was made available onSky Irelandin late 2009. Predecessor Channel 6 was not made available on Sky until 2007 due to a dispute between Kish Media and Sky.[17]On 29 September 2009 TV3 Group andSky Irelandconfirmed that 3e would be moved to 105 its service having been on channel 182 (as Channel 6 and for some time as 3e) prior to this change.[18][19]

Broadcasting policy

[edit]

As Channel 6 the service was aimed at the 15 to 35 year old demographic. It aired many new US programmes exclusively on the channel with a number of popular re-runs. The channel also re-introduced Music TV back into the Irish market, and successfully return an alternative music programme to Irish TV following the a xing of No Disco (RTÉ2) and Pop3 (TV3). The decision by TV3 to dropNight Shiftin 2009 was picked up by alternative music magazineHot Pressand many in the Irish music industry.

As 3e, TV3 replaced most of Channel 6's homegrown programmes with repeats of Daytime TV from TV3, which it has dropped most of Channel 6 US first runs with US repeats with onlyFamily Guy,American DadandThe Cleveland Showairing first runs.

3e uses the existing staff at TV3 (200 employees) to operate the channel. The channel airs a stripped schedule with very little original programme from any country. Much of 3e's news programmes were dropped in 2015.

Viewing figures

[edit]

TV3 Group reported on 12 November 2009 that 3e's viewing figures had increased since moving to Sky 105. Its audience share increased by 25% from 0.9% to 1.1% – this brought the channel back to the audience figures received by Channel 6 at the end of 2008.[20]As of 2010, 3e has increased its viewing figures through an increase in live sports.[21]In May 2015 3e had 2.5% of the TV viewing audience.

Budget

[edit]
See also:Virgin Media One

In 2010, 3e's parent company recorded losses at the station during 2009. A pre-tax loss of €5million was reported to the Irish Company Registrars Office (CRO). Kish Media will not look to recoup their €14.5million investment until such time as the channel begins to make profits and when all liabilities at the station are paid as they fall due. It is expected that the channel will move into profit in 2010, however the downturn in the Irish market and falling advertising rates did cause the channel problems during 2009. Revenue was down in 2008 from 2007, while expenses during 2008 had been reduced slightly.[22]

Programming

[edit]

In 2009, several rearrangements of the 3e schedule occurred. These included showing repeats ofXposeandEmmerdalestraight afterTV3,followed by puttingXposeon at 17:30 instead of 18:30 and removing repeat showings ofEmmerdaleand replacing them with repeat showings ofCoronation Street.Each of the changes failed to ignite 3e audience share, at first a small drop was seen. Xpose was returned to 18:30, while aCoronation Streetomnibus was on a Sunday afternoon, however ultimately both ITV soaps were dropped from the 3e schedule.

3Kids

[edit]

On 27 June 2016, 3e began to broadcast a kids programming block titled3Kids.The programming block airs seven days a week from 07:00 to 10:00, which features shows such asBarney & Friends,Origanimals,Teletubbies,Ghosts of Time,The Wiggles,Stella and Sam,Winx Club,andBabar and the Adventures of Badouamong others.[23]

From Monday 9 January 2017, 3Kids moved to sister channelBe3.This was part of a major TV3 rebrand.[24]

Since 30 August 2018 when be3 become Virgin Media Three, the 3Kids branding has not been used. However, children's shows were broadcast from 07:00-09:00 daily on Virgin Media Three and was branded as Virgin Media Kids.[25]

The programming block was later quietly discontinued on 18 September 2021 when Teletubbies was removed from the Virgin Media Three schedule,[26]as such and since then, Virgin Media Television now no longer broadcasts any kids programming.

Availability

[edit]

At its launch in 2006 Channel 6 was only available on UPC Ireland on channel 106 and a few smaller cable services around the country. Later in 2008 it[who?]moved to Channel 182 on Sky, however it wanted to be further up the EPG. When TV3 bought the channel in 2008 an agreement was reached with Sky to move the channel to 105 a vacant position on Sky Ireland's EPG. Since 2011 3e has been available on Saorview. 3e was originally on Channel 6 on Saorview, TV3 later asked the BAI to instruct Saorview to move 3e to Channel 5, ahead of RTÉ News Now.

The channel is available to 98% of homes within Ireland through the nationaldigital terrestrial televisionserviceSaorview.[37] It is available to 80% of homes through digital cable and satellite service such asVirgin Media Ireland,Magnet Networks,SmartvisionandSky Ireland.

Criticism

[edit]

Many[who?]viewed Channel 6 as a much better service. Channel 6 had a wider variety of content and had introduced many new US first runs to Irish TV. While their Irish content was limited to in-studio music programming (Night Shift and Day Shift), many alternative Irish bands had been given the opportunity of appearing to a wider audience. TV3's decision to drop Channel 6's home produced programming caused an outcry from many in the music industry. As 3e and Virgin Media TWO, it has relied mainly on repeats of TV3 programming, US and English programming and many reality programmes, causing the content of the channel to be diminished.

Branding

[edit]

March 2006 – January 2009: Channel 6 launched its first set of identifiers (idents) in March 2006 and they remained on the channel up to its re-brand to 3e in January 2009. The presentation package was produced by Cleverality. There were several idents during this period. The 'blue dot' in the centre of the 6 would be transformed from a symbol representing entertainment into the 'blue dot'. Examples of those symbols include, the masks for drama and comedy, film reels, a television set etc.

January 2009–2015: When re-branded as 3e in January 2009, the new idents were made by Dublin-based Image Now. The 3e idents consists of the 'e' bouncing around the screen next to the '3',[38][failed verification]one is generic while the other one has the 'e' in flames trying to put them out.[39]A third ident was added in October 2009 for use before soccer matches, it shows the 'e' kicking a football against the '3'.[40]A fourth ident was added in October 2010, which features the 'e' slipping on a banana skin as a pie and rake hits it.

3e's Christmas idents were made in-house at TV3. Three idents were introduced 'Mistletoe', 'Snowballs' and 'Lights' The new idents were first show on Saturday 19 December.[41]

TV3 announced a student competition to re-brand the 3e logo, the new idents were expected to launch duringI'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!in November 2014.[11]The changes did not take place and the original set of 3e idents remain as of September 2015.

On 9 January 2017 3e refreshed the channels identity and logo making it a "fun" entertainment channel. Dublin based design company Emberlight developed 3e's new look.[42]
