Thought she was unbelievable

Why the red thumbs. To clarify, I have no problem with acts getting out there but the “personalities” in RTE waste too much of the licence fee

Hi, I know nothing about television or ratings but yet I feel the need to criticise a media company on quite a successful tv show and insult the presenter personally.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch. For instance, I can’t stand Winning Streak/ Fair City etc but quite a few people do.

Pen, while a legal entity (company), RTE are in fact owned by the state and are the national broadcaster. “Tubs” and the like earn over 500K a year which is a ridiculous sum (considering the government repeatedly said they were capping public pay at 200K). Fact is the “Late Late” or the 9 o’clock show on RTE RADIO 2 are not as popular (I wonder why). Ryan like many in RTE got his job through family connections. The company is funded by a stelth tax which criminalises non-payers yet no-one can opt out if they choose not to watch RTE. if RTE capped pay at 100k the quality of programming would not suffer and we might get some value for money. I do not however mean to take from the fact that it is a good thing to allow new Irish acts a bit of air time.

Oh shut up paddy..this isn’t the place for your moronic rants. You know f-all about any of it..and just to note, rte is also funded by advertising and not alone licence fee..therefor in order to get the highest revenues from programming you have to have presenters capable of bringing it in..despite what your opinion is of Ryan (which may I also note does not reflect everyone’s opinion) he brings the viewing figure and the advertising revenue…he therefor is not costing the state money.

Rte are a joke. Rip off shows done badly by a group of below par presenters.

The same presenters rolled out again, and again….
Not a bit of talent among them. Have a look at Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross etc and tell me O’Callaghan, Tubs, hector!?, Doyle are not in the wrong business.

See. I’m all hyped up now :(

I beg to differ, if he wasn’t costing the state money then the company would need no funding. If you feel the need to insult then you should use your own name, also I never pretended to speak for everyone but fact is numbers are down

@Shit you Not : Apart from the fact that your buddy Ryan’s viewing numbers have dropped dramatically since been on The Late,Late as well as his radio show. As for this : “he brings the viewing figure and the advertising revenue” you do have something to back this up with,right ???
