The Daily PollShould RTÉ televise Irish music festivals?
RTÉ last provided TV coverage of Electric Picnic in 2017, and has confirmed that it will not be doing so this year.
NATIONAL BROADCASTER RTÉ should consider televising independent Irish music festivals, according to Forest Fest organiser Philip Meagher.
Meagher suggested that RTÉ could draw from the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury, saying that it “always makes for great television”.
The broadcaster previously confirmed it will not be televising Electric Picnic this year – a decision the Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (MEAI) described as an “opportunity missed”.
