[ACTV]

If VMTV closed down I'd assume some ITV programmes would turn up on RTE fairly quickly, but nothing new would be broadcast in their place. RTE certainly wouldn't be putting out a schedule. It's unlikely to happen as the licences are worth something.

RTÉ have been screening some more ITV programmes as of late. The 1% Club (no doubt because that show is distributed by BBC Studios) and Limitless Win, for example. They had Corrie of course all the way up until Granada bought TV3 in the early 00s, so the bigger ITV programmes would not be out of place in such a scenario. The likelihood of RTÉ ever showing Who's Doing the Dishes or The Royal Today (which surprisingly got a VM1 slot just a few years back) is much lower.
