Pat Kenny and Colette Fitzpatrick are to host a new current affairs show every Wednesday night on TV3
Further to the launch of TV3’s Autumn schedule.

Can any of your readers working in television explain why TV3 now wishes to copy RTÉ in the area of current affairs. The Vincent Browne show was genuinely innovative…but we really don’t need a Prime Time lite…How Pat Kenny and Colette Fitzpatrick could be seen as an alternative to what we are getting already on RTÉ is beyond me….
Anyone?
UPDATE:
Turlough adds:
I’m not having a go at Colette who seems very nice…

Cue Tish with some uninformed opinion…3, 2, 1:
and you’re up…
Phew! Sorry I’m late everyone. Everyone involved with this nonsense drinks moccachinos with Fionnuala the gaeligore yummy mummy faux designer and her spoiled children in Stoneybatter I’m so very lonely.
Eh, whoever this is, stop impersonating me thanks.
The right wing gutter just keeps on flowing
“but do we really don’t need a Prime Time lite”
That we really don’t, do we really, I’d have to say – eh, No we don’t !!!
Sorry Jack, fixed now. Thank you.
Fierce snug there Pat.
They’re fierce cosy all right….
Cruel, but fair, MastaPasta!
Makes no difference who is in front of camera, it is the team behind and the editor who call the shots, and the stories. Look out for some serious tabloid journalism with sensationalist headlines and salacious drivel !

The only innovation I saw on Vincent Browne was to have a host who couldn’t control his one opinion.
So you’re saying shouting at/over/with each other is not an innovation?
At least he knew when not to read out certain tweets
Collette was a top journo with the herald, aswell as an in-demand current affairs broadcaster, like a terrier she really addressed wimins issues..
is a top journo with the herald the equivelant of the worst tea lady in the Irish Times?
Exactomondo, she stands proudly beside such luminaries as Holly Carpenter and Rosanna Davison
Was she a Top Journo, or a Top Journo with the Herald?
Its a massive difference.
Colette. Or as they say in West Cork/Kerry, Clit.
+13bn
Hahaha
its true
Roll it there, Colette!
Who cares what tv3 put on? You don’t pay towards. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it and they will get rid.
They do get money from the License Fee
Dull television which they regard as safe.
Frank Malone of liberty insurance/virgin/UPC owns it, he didnt buy tv3 and bransons virgin for nothing..
Pat is in his late 60’s, doesn’t he look fantastic?
With Kenny there’ll be more smut.
Colette spells her name with one “L”.
with a single upper case l?
an upper class L. You wouldn’t get it.
People who watch Vinny B have no interest in discussion, they just want to see him tear strips off politicians they don’t like.
And get pissed off when he tears strips out of the politicians they do like.
Bet you’ve never even watched a single episode.
Except he’s so doddery these days it’s hard to tell what overall point he’s trying to make
I know someone who was on the show and they were convinced he was falling asleep half the time and would jerk awake when someone said something in his ear. Then start stripping someone
And neither do we need a left-wing rant from the Ill-informed, the ignorant and the downright crazy
You can avoid the Labour party types by not drinking in watering holes near Ballsbridge if that helps…
He said left wing – that excludes Labour ;)
The Vincent Brown show was the daftest thing I ever saw and that includes Fox & Friends, Russia Today and Garda Patrol!!!!
Ever see an Irish Language programme year ago named ” O’Duill’ ” ? Now, that was daft. The theme music was that whistler fellow Roger Whittager is think. Oh yeah – that WAS daft.
RTE 1 are doing the Hangover Pt 4 ”the new Dawn” I think I’ll stick with Donnybrook ?>? I prefer my Rags in paper form Thank You very much ??
I don’t care.
If you are watching Irish television to gain some sort of insight into political goings on you are wasting your life.
Those “shows” are spin and entertainment. Nothing more or less.
Might as well be watching expose.
Have a happier life and avoid it.
Nobody takes a blind bit of notice what Kenny has to say. He ‘presented’ the Wexford Businsss Awards this year, and the audience took fa notice, just kept up their own conversations and ignored him. 800+ at the do.
