Bri1231 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Why can't Home and Away have same day airings in the UK as does Neighbours? Start a season at the start of the year end it at the end. Does anyone know the answer to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ranger 1 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 And also the fact that the UK shows Home and Away five days a week in a consistent schedule and is better off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri1231 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I guess maybe true on both answers. Shame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am back in Ireland now. Maybe post brexit RTE will again go ahead of Channel Five as the UK will no longer have the European first rights as it will not be in the EU anymore. Ireland will however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Ukraine and Albania. (I seem to remember Norway wasn't allowed to go ahead of the UK at one point.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri1231 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 So annoying. I guess Channel 5 will always have the first rights. This makes sense as in Norway they can get Channel 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its due to the inconsistent airing schedule in Aus, with them having triple episodes sometimes on Thursdays as opposed to a general Mon-Fri, 5 episodes a week scheduling. If Seven changed to that, then I imagine Five could too and would be able to air the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Channel 5 could probably get around the inconsistent schedule by airing a week behind Australia. The UK was, I think, 4 days behind when the series left ITV. However I recall reading that the gap may be due to Channel 5 renegotiating the contact (for a cheaper price). RTE many years ago were months ahead of the UK. They seem to be showing it the same day as C5 now. However though Sky it is blocked in Northern Ireland. Not sure if the B-Word will affect anything. I'm sure RTE would jump at the chance to be ahead again, that was always something they seemed to like to promote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
