    Have you ever noticed how consistent RTE news are with mistakes? By 'mistakes' I mean editing mistakes. Just watching the 6pm news and the first report stops in it's tracks and goes into another report while eventually coming back to the original report. No apology issued. It happens time and time again and no one is ever accountable

    Yep, they always slow down Pascal Sheehy's news reports from around the country to make him speak ten words a minute!

    Oh ffs, RTÉ made a mistake on their news broadcast. Some ****ing perspective would be welcome from some people around here.

    Do you suggest that we all march on Donneybrook and then moan about that not receiving live coverage. :rolleyes:

    I think the OP is referring to the constant mistakes that are made by RTE, and not just on the news. Everyone makes mistakes and there's lots of things that can go wrong in a live broadcast, I can forgive them for that.

    But almost everyday there is a mistake made!

    It just shows RTE to be unprofessional, which they shouldn't be, especially considering how much they're getting paid.

    But sure what do I know....I'm only made to pay them €180 a year!:pac:

    It's a live broadcast. There's going to be mistakes - it goes with the territory.

    I notice lots of those little mistakes all the time, they're funny to watch. The other day Brian Dobson appeared a bit cranky, while he was waiting ages for something to come up on the screen.

    I think it is amazing that there are so few mistakes given the live broadcasts. RTE are very professional, it is only when you watch/listen to less professional broadcasts you see how good they are. No, I don’t work for RTE!

    Try tv3's news at 5.30. Not half as many mistakes and you get the news half an hour earlier!

    what, like local news slots in the US? What unprofessional broadcasts are you referring to? Remember RTE is a national broadcaster.

    You're 100% right, I don't give a sh1te. I've more important things to be worrying about than a few blips/glitches in RTE's live broadcasting scedule.

    On the news the other night they twice referred to Brian Cowen's victorious return to Clara in Offaly 18 months ago. They seem to think that he was elected Taoiseach in May 2009. Could be considered a small error, but given the events of September 2008 I think it's amazing that they can get this so wrong.

    The 6 one news on RTE is pretty bad for the frequent amount of screwups that seem to just be the norm for the production.

    I noticed the cock up in the o/p's post too. This is just standard for RTE though.:(
    Almost every time they hand over to the sports presenter, the sound op is slow to fade up the mic so we don't actually hear the first couple of words the presenter utters. The level of professionalism in RTE is shocking.

    RTE's standards of news reporting, editorial control and (on the website) basic spelling and grammar and very poor. It's not a joke, and it does mean something because most Irish people treat RTE as a serious, authoritative news source. Also it does nothing for our image abroad. Once you get an idea of how things work behind the scenes the amateurish and rather biased nature of RTE News makes more sense.

    20 years ago standards seemed much higher, but 20 years ago I was a kid and was probably judging them at that level.
