    RTÉ boosts children's programming

    RTÉ HAS unveiled a new children’s television schedule with two new strands of programming.
    RTÉjr for children aged six and younger will broadcast from 8.30am to 3.30pm on RTÉ2 and will be followed by TRTÉ (T for tweenie/teenager) which will cater for children aged seven to 15. There will also be a weekend programme strand.
    RTÉ has also recruited several new presenters from a public competition involving 700 candidates.
    Hubble , its new standard-bearer programme for children, will still be presented by Emma O’Driscoll, who will have a different sidekick.
    Gone is Socky, the sock monster, to be replaced by Ógie, who comes from outer space.
    RTÉ’s commissioning editor of young people’s programming Sheila de Courcy said Ógie could have the same impact as Bosco had in previous generations.
    “People say ‘why don’t you bring back Bosco’,” she said. “Wanting to bring back Bosco is reflective of your age. Each generation of children needs its icons.”


    So this is the new RTE children's channel. Will it be ready for the launch on the 31th of October?
