Jimmy, your comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired as nowhere in my post does it say I think he deserves such a wage. I merely told you to get over it.

FAIL.captain comprehension!:D

we all have our own meaning and words letters have several meanings so you pick one..

Mr E

This thread is already repetitive enough without this FAIL crap.
Next warning = thread locked.

I'll leave you to read your Tubridy book, you might pick up some lessons in the English language from it

Actually, the fact of the matter is that they host the most watched TV programmes in the country. I've made an attempt to argue that getting rid of them could/would see RTÉ lose money. You're all just a bunch of whingers. Pointless thread is pointless.

no actually even if half the people who watch/listen to them , RTE would still get our license money, and companies would still take out advertisments with them,

theres plenty of very nice and lively people who could do the job, it would be a task to find them id say but give some people a chance and youd be surprised what they can do, joe duffy, gerry ryan, and the likes all started somewhere,

This thread is all over the shop...I thought I had unwittingly wandered into After Hours.

For some reason:pac:, a talent agent is sticking up for them.

Some of RTE's well-known faces are struggling to pay mortgages and other bills, according to Ireland's biggest talent agent.
Noel Kelly has spoken out against the backlash RTE presenters are facing over their pay -- revealing that some of the personalities are struggling to make ends meet on their current salaries.
His comments come as RTE announced this weekend that the top 10 RTE presenters earned €4m between them in 2009.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Mr Kelly, who is Ireland's first showbiz superagent, said the fixation on stars' salaries is in stark contrast to the reality many TV personalities are facing.
"These figures are completely blown out of proportion," he explained.
"You forget that you have to take 51pc tax off, PRSI, PAYE and then health insurance, which gets more expensive as you get older. And then, of course, there's no guarantee of job security."

I'd like to "struggle" on what they're getting paid.

Pretty pathetic by Noel Kelly

There are lots of people struggling. Anyone on a good wage that is struggling needs to re-evaluate their lifestyle choices.

The self-employed creative staff and talent negotiate their contracts freely with the PSB. The talent have the option of going elsewhere either in Ireland or abroad. But RTE's own internal research shows, firstly, that the listeners appreciate the experienced broadcasters and what they do, and secondly, the advertisers appreciate the huge audiences that can be put their way. It is, as it were, a triple win, with no losers. The contracts are funded out of advertising revenue, not from the TX tax, the public gets the best possible radio and TV for the money, and the advertisers and wealth generators get an opportunity to address the housewife in primetime.

Some of the running costs. Obviously nowhere near enough to pay for broadcasting without advertising.

yeah its like trying to get a job, and told your not qualified, of coure im not qualified thats why ive come here,

but its not the best possible radio and tv, if it were i wouldnt be paying over E100 a month for sky, and i listen to my local radio station, cant stand them "national" (dublin) radio stations, radio 1 is probably the biggest and is listened to by approx 10% of the population,

neil prenderville (as much as i hate him) pulls in half of tubridys listenership figures and hes only broadcasting to 1 county,

just hit the reset button,

I really don't think even putting a cap for 100K on presenters' salaries would make a difference to tv licence fee or reduce the relience on advertising. Hard to say without all the figures. However, so long as the advertisers will pay more to advertise on the big time-slots (Frontline, The Late Late, Prime Time, Joe Duffy etc etc...), enough to see a bigger return than they would without the "stars", then their payment should be a non-issue. Begrudgers be begruding, I say!

Oh - you're an expert? You can tell us how much it costs the run a National broadcaster? You can tell us how much revenue is generated from advertsing? You can tell us how many of the 1.5 million dwellings actually have a TV licence?
Do you know the BBC collect nearly £3.5 billion in Tv licence fees? (http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/annualreport/pdf/bbc_ar_online_2009_10.pdf)

Where else would they go in Ireland that would match their RTE earnings?

As for "abroad", if they were that good they would have been head-hunted years ago. Once in a blue moon does an Irish media person have the talent to do well in another jurisdiction. There have never been that many "Wogans".

It goes, as is always made plain, straight into programme-making.

Think only of Graham Norton, the Doyle brothers, Dara O Briain, the lad who was 'made' here with Scrap Saturday, Dermot Morgan, Henry Kelly, Anthony Clare, Olivia, Orla Guerin : Montrose is a fountainhead of talent, seeping out all the time.

Much as BBC Radio 4 fears for its best ideas and talent being taken up by the inferior medium, RTE fears the loss across the water.
