RTE have had a bad habit of poaching BBC and US dramas and then airing them at the worst time - literally putting two fingers up to VMTV - they do it, so to ensure VMTV don't get those shows which could make them a lot of money.

I agree with VMTV - they should get a large chunk of the US dramas, but BBC Studios also own Eastenders, and I doubt VMTV will want that drama back as there is simply no room for it, alongside Corrie and Emmerdale.

Doctor Who could be a great addition to VMTV, especially considering streaming of Doctor Who is not possible, as the BBC iPlayer is not available in the Republic of Ireland.
