They can't even get the six o'clock news on at six o'clock. There's some kind of bell ringing for a whole minute before the bulletin begins.:D:D:D

I doubt it. Before the Scotland v France rugby game on sunday there was 5 minutes of dead air time. They scrambled pretty quick and stuck up some adds for shows running one 3 times in a row while they set up some more.

RTE needs to be taken off the states tit so clowns who cant do their jobs can be sacked, idiots wouldnt get paid absolute fortunes and we might get something worth fcukin watching.

Jesus, I love Murder She Wrote. Many's the afternoon Jessica Flethcher kept me company when I wasn't in college. Or work.

Ryan Tubridy, Síle and Gráinne Seoige, Daithí Ó'Sé, Brendan O'Connor, Ryle Nugent, Mary Kennedy, everyone involved with the Republic of Telly, especially the nasty woman from The Apprentice; Lucy Kennedy, Craig Doyle.

Says it all really.

Before someone says, "If you don't like RTÉ, don't watch it." Well, I barely ever watch it. But it's our national broadcaster that we pay for, so I'd rather watch decent programmes with decent presenters on it than watch other channels.

It is called the Six One news for some reason, maybe because it starts at one minute past 6?

Watch their coverage of live league of ireland games over the next few weeks. Amateur hour at its best and minimal effort.

I used to be a lot more anti RTE than I am now and amazingly I have boards.ie to thank for my about face on the whole RTE issue.

I'm still against the over-paying of our 'stars' and the paying for UK and US shite 'comedy' and soap that can be gotten easily from UK FTA sat.

What made me change my mind on the RTE issue?

The amount of self-hating, Anglophile, pro NI Unionist, anti-Irish language, anti-Irish culture people on these boards disturbs me.

At the very least RTE acts as a televisual (and radio) cultural 'anchor point' for me as I do not subscribe to this general loathing of all things Irish and it helps me delineate my identity from these horrible cretins who would not shed any tears to see the obliteration of all things that separate us culturally from our former colonists.

RTE for me is always summed up best by Nationwide. It cracks me up everytime, especially if you watch it on fast forward. Same thing EVERY time :

Article starts with the presenter about 30 feet back from the camera, and they're usually standing in front of a bunch of trees or a field or something. Then the presenter starts talking and slowly (but purposefully) walking towards the camera. Every single time. Put it on fast forward and it's gas - article 1 - here comes the presenter vrooom up to the camera, article 2 - whoa there's the presenter back a bit - here she comes vrooom up to the camera. Seriously if it's on watch it, hilarity once you spot it. I will admit I'm easily amused but still

It's like a bunch of transition year students got a bunch of cameras and recording gear for a project - again sums up rte I think.

It just needs to be more focussed on creating more home grown stuff and spend less on wages and rubbish from the US and UK that people can get for free.

Hopefully I'm not one of those who irritate you? but I do prefer the UK stations for all kinds of programming, that's not to say that I dislike RTE, who do a great job on a local level, I just think that money & experience speaks volumes, and the UK stations have everything in spades! RTE by comparisson is small fry (very small fry) on a small budget. I think RTE hold their own on a local level, and they serve to preserve the Irish language & Irish culture > this is a good thing - but I do often think of them as being like a poorly funded amateur UK regional station )

Much worse than the time he interviewed Enya, which was until now the worst thing I saw. It was like two planks of wood sitting side by side.

I agree its time for RTE to get back to basics and start making TV that people actually want to watch,like Sports Stadium on Saturdays was a great programme back in the day I doubt RTE would be even capable of doing a show like that now

The King of Moo

This calls for a celebration of some of Pat Kenny's finest moments:

Its not the worst station by any stretch of the imagination, certainly not as bad as some people on here would have you believe.

BBC is a wealthy corporation who make some brilliant programs, no doubt.

One of the problems we have here is similar to the problem Canada has with the US.

The talent, not just presenters, tends to gravitate to the larger neighbour where there is greater reward in the form of raising your profile, getting more exposure, and far greater financial reward.

RTE just needs to be more focussed on nurturing home-grown programming and talent imo.

it says volumes about RTE when Dave McSavage was responsible for the best thing they've done in years, I dont like him nor his standup but The Savage Eye was fantastic, more stuff like that and less money spent on Kenny and Tubridy and cheap, cheap, cheap productions values on everything please. the amount of money being wasted on talentless presenters is unreal, Tubridy doesnt have an iota of talent in him as a talk show host.

I have given up watching RTE if something can be watched on another station, I have lost count the amount of times that RTE does not work properly with Sky+ and you lose the end of a TV show, recently it decided to record the first 43 minutes of Homeland, and incorporate the last 20odd minutes in with Damages which was on afterwards.

I may be jumping the gun in blaming RTE, but its the only station on Sky that I have that issue with.

I know lots of people like her but I can't stand her. She just seems very fake and patronising. I saw her interview Maureen O'Hara on Nationwide once and she kept talking down to Maureen and interrupting her. She looked like she wanted to kill Mary!
