Director General of RTÉ Dee Forbes said last month that RTÉ’s financial situation “is unlike anything it has seen before” and “it won’t be possible to continue as they are” with staff bracing themselves for the completion of a review into RTÉ’s operations.According to the directors’ report for the commercial arm, overall revenues and costs reduced last year primarily due to the transfer of GAAGO activities into a separately established joint venture company.

The directors also state that the Kathryn Thomas presented Operation Transformation was sold to SC4 in Wales.

Bin it.

I know of nobody who would miss it,cut its funding over 3years and let's see if they can survive commercially

Shut it down

This is what happens when God is abolished. The EU also refused to include any ref to God. It too is falling apart.

Privatize the damn thing and let it sink or swim. Public service broadcasting can be put out to competitive tender.

Let it collapse. Start again

Government run RTE is broke let them go broke stop paying the licence fee.

Probably because they are nonsense cannels. The guests on any of the talk shows is literally anyone who is in the RTE canteen or roaming around the corridors patethic

Get rid of it

Good enough for them.

Just scrap the thing already

Saw an add for something called “pulling with my parents” or something last night. That’s why rte can suck my balls.

That's why they want a universal charge, a captive audience is a gold mine.

How much does it cost the make Fair City? And yes before you ask I've paid my fee!!

Their extortionate wages might have something to do with that.. Not rocket science.
