The Fix

The Fix was a children's television programme broadcast on TV3 from 9th October 1990 to 31st December 2010. It had a similar format to CBBC & CITV in that the presenters were situated in a studio and introduced the programmes, held competitions and linked ad breaks from there. It was originally known as Club3 from 1990 to 2003 & C3 from 2003 to 2005.

Similar to the output of TV3 in general, the show's broadcasts were taken directly from those shown on CBBC, CBeebies, CITV, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney and Milkshake, alongside originals.

In a similar fashion to Kuboia's KT, Few programmes were ever officially dropped from the schedule.

In addition to TV3, the block was also screened on sister channel TV4 (previously Channel 4 & ZTV), where it was known as Club4 & C4 in tandem with Club3 & C3, however, The Fix did not have an alternate name, due to the name being channel-neutral.

On 9th October, 2020, the 3C channel broadcast a marathon known as "Fix30" and aired every show aired on The Fix from it's launch to closure.

History
In 1990, children's programmes on the three main channels (what are now ETV1, Network 2 and TV3) was a basic affair linked with the channel's normal presentation.

However, TV3 chief executive Eddie Mitchell belived that a specially made slot for children could work, based on the model used by the BBC, ITV and SSVC Television in the UK. Therefore, the channel hired two children's and youth TV figures from ERTV - Jackie Arnold, who had been a producer for the local version of Play School, and Andrew Jones, who had experience in children's programming for an older audience, producing ERTV Saturday morning show Saturday Scene.

Original children's programmes were commissioned, including Roundabout, a programme for young children, and Transmission, a weekend programme for a teen audience.
