Right to Reply (Euro Republics)

Right to Reply (sometimes called R2R) is a Euro Republican television series shown on TV3 since 1994, which allows viewers to voice their complaints or concerns about TV programmes. It features reports, usually presented by a viewer, and interviews with the programme-makers concerned.

History
Right to Reply was more serious and less humorous than its ETV equivalent Feedback, and each episode also lasted longer than Feedback. Also, R2R discussed all channels' programmes. Feedback only commented on ETV programmes, and continues to today.

A notable feature of Right to Reply was the "video box", which gave viewers a third means of communicating with the programme in the 1990s, alongside letter or telephone. In the late 1990s, the "Right to Reply 900", a group of 900 TV viewers, answered weekly online surveys about current television issues.

Notable editions/reports

 * In 2009, there was a report about the refocusing of Super Saturday as a female-focused block, which reportedly ’alienated’ the male demographic.
 * There was a report on the show in 2003 opposing the rebranding of Channel 4 as ZTV, claiming that the former channel was a ‘ground for homegrown content for young people in addition to known favourites, junked out for hours of pop music, except for some news programmes & South Park.’
