''Play TV'' is a late night/early morning phone-in quiz show produced by Telemedia InteracTV and broadcast by TV3 Ireland from May 2009 – March 2010. The show was broadcast live every night of the week, Monday to Sunday, from 12:00am to 3:00am from InteracTV's headquarters in Budapest, Hungary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=InteracTV )〕 The programme was very controversial, with numerous complaints against it made to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland. TV3, however, justified it by saying they got money from ''PlayTV'' which saved jobs from being lost during the recession. Two years after TV3 removed ''Play TV'' from its schedules, it began to air ''Psychic Readings Live'' in the same slot. Newspaper reports compared the controversy generated by ''Psychic Readings Live'' to ''Play TV'', with one saying "it will remind TV3 of a past life". ==Calling the show== While the show was on air, viewers were encouraged to call a premium rate number in order to give solutions to puzzles being put to them by the presenters. However, there was no guarantee that callers would get through to the studio, although they were still charged the full cost of the call. According to TV3, there was a limit of 50 calls per night or 300 calls per month that could be made by any one person. However the accuracy of this statement seems to be in some doubt, as one person has claimed to have made 170 calls in one night at a cost of €370. However, according to "terms and conditions" on the playtv website, "The daily limit is 40 calls."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=playtvireland.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Play TV (Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
