Virgin Media Television were complaining to Irish Media Minister Catherine Martin about the introduction of VMTV Four on Saorview to be a very frustrating process.

The Irish Independent pay wall article was reporting today that VM were complaining about the channel number position of VM Four being too low on Saorview.

I think having the channel at no. 7 on the Saorview EPG is a very fair outcome for VM while it is regarded as a general entertainment channel. The breadth of content on the station is not really regarded as being ground breaking programming.

It is currently like every other VM station on the Saorview platform and others that is screening repeats of ITV Studios content from the UK.

I don't think anything else could have been explored further with how the channel is at the position it is now.

Can't access the full article. However, didn't the channel move only happen a week or so prior to the launch of VM4? RTEJr was displaced I think.

Given that the channel is just yet another outlet repeats of ITV Studios shows, I'm not sure how strong their case would be to displace channel positions occupied by the national broadcaster.
