Xposé

Xposé was a entertainment, fashion and beauty programme that aired on Irish television from 2007 to 2019.

It was broadcast every Friday at 18:00 on Virgin Media One. It ran for a 3-day week at 20:00 on Virgin Media Two (previously known as "3e"). It originally aired weekdays for 30 minutes, with advertising; later it broadcast for 60 minutes, with advertising.

The show was first broadcast on 16 April 2007, at 6pm, with an initial budget of €600,000. TV3 News @ 6.30 was axed, in order to make room in the schedule for the show, with Hollyoaks moving to 6.30 before it was later axed and replaced with Friends. Lorraine Keane's entertainment update on TV3 News broadcasts was also removed.

The show's format was similar to that of American celebrity news and gossip programmes, such as E! News and Entertainment Tonight, covering events and celebrities in the entertainment industry. It was produced in-house by Virgin Media with a team of reporters conducting the interviews and attending various events. On rare occasions guests could appear in the studio. Xposé primarily focused on celebrity life in Ireland and around the world. Reporters covered home events including top awards ceremonies, film premieres, rock and pop concerts, fashion shows and interviews with Irish and international stars.

Regular segments on the show included the "Daily Dish" (a look at the major celebrity news stories), make-up tips with Jemma Kidd and Fashion Police. Each episode finished by playing a music video. Mobile phone company 3 Ireland sponsored the show from its first time on air. On 27 April 2009, the first week following Lorraine Keane's departure from the show, it opened with a new graphical set using a greenscreen this provided a number of additional virtual screens behind the presenter in the studio, this replaced the physical set and screens between 2007 and 2009.

On 8 September 2014 Xposé was extended to one hour. The show received a new studio and graphics revamp and broadcasts from its new purposely built studio at the Sony HD Studios in Dublin. On 5 September 2016 the show returned to a 30-minute edition.

On 16 December 2016 TV3 announced a major revamp of their schedule. It was announced that Xposé would be shown three nights a week on TV3 and feature two nights a week on sister channel, 3e. This came into effect in January 2017.

On 8 March 2019 Xposé returned to Virgin Media One, airing each Friday night replacing The Six O'Clock Show's Friday night episode.
