What a disappointment to read that Loose Women has had their slot reduced. I record it so that I can watch it when I want, and also I don’t have to watch anything I’m not interested in I just rush it through. There is such trash on the television these days!

Tv is mostly all repeats,game or reality shows. It's horrendous.

I did try and persevere when it started out but I got fed up with some of the women saying how hard up financially they were or how difficult working life was for them . They forgot to add that they earned large payments to appear on TV, free hair cuts , make up and often dined out at someone else expense . Child care was hard and they were exhausted because they forgot to say the cleaner only did 2 hours cleaning instead of a full day. They pretended they had normal stressful lack of money lifes just like ordinary people have . They forgot to say they had private medical / hospital / dentists and said how long the NHS waiting list was . Sadly their struggles got on my nerves so stopped watching years ago .

Bit sweeping JdotJ if there are people out there who still enjoy it why not keep it going? There are loads of programmes I never watch and can't stand but I don't want to cancel them. Live and let live.

Commercial tv stations earn money from advertising.
No viewers = no revenue. It’s business 🤷‍♀️

I don't really like it, and I don't really like the concept - a panel of women, often (though not always) discussing trivialities and reinforcing, I think, the stereotype of women not being equipped to discuss serious political issues.

A tired vehicle for tired Celebrities (whatever the definition is?) to chit-chat over the garden fence......

And be re-packaged as "Loose Silly Women".

If you're talking about ITV, the only things I watch that they show are some of the 9pm dramas, the drama repeats on ITV3, and their racing coverage. Also I tune into the local news if something important has happened near me. Othewrise, it's lowest common denominator television with the same old shows every day.

I don't watch any of the "celebrity" type shows, whether they're chatting or performing in some way, they're just of no interest to many of us.

Stopped watching it many yers ago, because I couldn’t stand Lorraine Kelly.

A real celebrity to me is someone who has succeeded as an actor, entertainer, musician, sports personality or author. Celebtity nowadays seems to be mean someone who has appeared on a reality show, was in a soap for a couple of years, or was a glamour model years ago.

I always joke with my family that if I was taken hostage by terrorists the worst torture they could inflict on me would be to force me to watch Loose Women on a loop
