ITV 1

ITV1 really has become a channel filled with dross! I never used to mind this channel but now I find there is very little that is of interest to me. What must be a pretty huge budget is blown on some really sub-standard programmes. I'm not saying I am looking to be intellectually challenged every time I watch T.V. but ITV really does provide only the most empty headed viewing! First of all, the soaps. I used to think Coronation Street and Emmerdale were watchable chill out telly. The characters were familiar and there were some quite good storylines in the past. No longer. The programmes look amateurish, the storylines are uninteresting and there is little by ...  Read the complete review

If I could only have one television channel that I was allowed to watch then I would pick ITV every time, I love this channel and I think it could probably keep me entertainined all day if I had the chance to sit and spend the whole day watching TV. I don't really watch that many different channels and along with ITV it will usually just be Channel 4 and ITV2. I cannot believe we have to pay TV Licence for BBC and given the choice I would happily not pay it and just live without BBC, I honestly wouldn't miss it. I think ITV is the best channel because of all the great shows it has on, I love their daytime shows (well most of them, I can't stand Jeremy Kyle) ...  Read the complete review

ITV1 is the TV station that is franchised across channel three nationally. We each have our own regional variations that show different news programs, but it's all part of the ITV network. I love this channel, but only for one reason: The X Factor! The X Factor is the best thing currently on TV, and I really really enjoy it. However, that said, this channel also shows a lot of rubbish! For example, before the X Factor is family fortunes, or Harry Hill's TV Burp. Low grade comedians hosting family entertainment shows is my worst idea of fun, and I really don't enjoy those shows. Similarly, soaps such as Coronation Street bore me to tears. Low quality acting, ...  Read the complete review

ITV 1 is the main rival to BBC One, as is a channel that is purely funded by the advertising revenue. ITV was traditionally made up of regional networks that made up the franchise, previously the part of the network that serviced where I live, Wales, was HTV Wales. Since the integration of the services, the local networks have been integrated in to ITV 1, although Wales still kept the tag, ITV 1 Wales. ITV 1 is very much like its rival BBC One, in that it is the main channel of the network and main shows the networks highest rating shows, although the channel does not focus on one particular programme, but has a wide variety. In terms of the ...  Read the complete review

I'm sorry to say ITV is in decline. It has been on our screens for years and it has of course produced some good-quality programming. On the other hand, it is now in financial difficulties because no one wants to advertise on the channel and what is ITV's response? Cut back spending on popular shows! Now there are a lot of studio programmes, such as game shows, which are cheap to produce, old films, which premiered ages ago on Sky. They still do a good job with the football. ITV has an HD channel. Great! Only, as before when ITV was not available on Sky, there is a new petty argument, meaning that ITV HD can only be manually tuned if you have the ...  Read the complete review
