I remember reading viewers in Northern Ireland were slightly angry at UTV for persisting with a one hour at 5.30pm, starting with UTV Life, followed at 6pm with UTV Live at 6 - this meant they missed out on some networked early evening shows.

One big example was in 2004/05 with The Paul O'Grady Show - for the first series, UTV used to air it on a one day delay at 2pm. For the second series in 2005 they didn't even bother airing it at all, and UTV viewers had to rely on the late night repeat. For Paul's final series for ITV at that time in the autumn of 2005, UTV viewers had no access to the show at all.
