RTÉ HAS ANNOUNCED a review of its two orchestras, the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, amid what its says are “challenging” financial circumstances.
Last year the orchestras received 7.1% of RTÉ’s licence fee revenue, totalling €12.7 million. The orchestras costs were €15.6 million, resulting in a €2.9 million deficit.
Speaking about the topic this morning, Ivan Yates said the orchestras should be self-financed.
So today we’re asking, do you think RTÉ’s orchestras are a good use of licence fee money?
