    http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/new-show-is-fun-but-its-no-loose-women-blathnaid-3229826.html

    Why can't two presenters host the show five days a week? Sounds like a complete waste of money to do this. I presume that Blathnaid has a contract with RTE and that they are just trying to fit her in somewhere. Also, is there a need to rebrand what is essentially the same show every 2 or 3 years?

    The RTE star said that she was also looking forward to working with co-host Norah Casey, publisher behind the titles Irish Tatler, Woman's Way and Food and Wine.
    "We don't agree on everything, but that is a good a thing as well, it makes for good TV."

    That comment really cracked me up.What the hell is going on up in Montrose?

    Today, huh?

    Obviously the folks at Montrose aren't too aware of certain long-running morning shows on NBC and on BBC Radio 4... :rolleyes: ;)

    But, seriously. Do they really, really think that there is still a need for this sort of show?! :rolleyes:

    And do they really, really think that it'll solve their financial problems?! :rolleyes:

    Its taken some more long caffeine fuelled brainstorming sessions for the RTE management team with responsiblity for naming programs, but once again they have pulled an absolute corker out of the bag...."Today".

    This, from the same people that have brought you "The Saturday Night Show" and "The Afternoon Show".


    Helloooo, creativity, where are you????

    In the past they have just used the same names for different programmes within months of each other.

    In 2010, RTE2 had a music show presented by Dave Fanning called 'The Eleventh hour'

    http://www.rte.ie/tv/programmes/the_11th_hour.html

    In February 2011 they used the same name for an pre-Election Vincent Browne style programme, also on RTE2

    http://www.rte.ie/tv/eleventhhour/

    So, as you said, originality of programme names has never been a priority with RTE. :rolleyes:

    They launched this programme today. To be read in your best Cork accent.

    RTÉ TV launches Cork daytime show
    Speaking at the show's launch in Cork's English Market, RTÉ Television's Managing Director, Glen Killane, said: "This is a good day for RTÉ Television and a good day for Cork. It's the first time we will be producing daytime television from Cork and this is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the huge range of talent we have here and across the entire country.

    "RTÉ has always had a strong commitment to Cork and this announcement is a further show of our support for Cork and the regions and our confidence in the expertise and abilities of the production team in RTÉ Cork.

    "There's a real track record of broadcasting excellence here - the Cork team have a huge range of experience gleaned here and in the UK and many programmes produced in Cork have been sold all around the world, so we know that programmes produced in Cork have set the standards in Lifestyle programming."

    There is more in the article, but no further mentions of Cork, so who'd be interested in that, like?

    Norah Casey again? She seems to be getting well established in the meedya now.

    So its basicly the same s...e as was on before, without Claire Byrne.Whats the point of that?

    Oh by the way Claire has her new/same show on Saturdays from one, since Charlie has retired.I think they should have kept the "doc on one "programmes going and give us a break from current affairs.I actually liked them.

    Amazed RTE are giving Blannidge another job, after the bullying fiasco with Sheana keane.. But I guess Norah Casey will be able to hold her own... How many jobs is she taking from media graduates at this stage..?
    Yep, pretty disgusting of RTE to let Blanith have a job, not a good message it sends out.

    I'd be surprised if Sheana and Blathnaid could stand being in the same county as each other, let alone the same studio ;)

    Yeah, Sheana seemed to come out worst from that battle. She hasn't been seen on RTE in a few years now. Shame, I think she is a better presenter than those who are appearing on the all new Afternoon Show Four Live The Daily Show whatever it is called this year.

    They should have let Blathnaid and Sheana settle their differences in a wrestling match (live on RTE1) - last woman standing to get the Afternoon schedule to themselves.

    Loving the irony of a discussion about soup kitchens with the lead female presenter being the wife of a well-heeled Fine Gael TD :rolleyes:

    Don't watch it then, trust me! So far they have discussed speed bumps and food kitchens. How many €160.00 does it cost to put on this guff? Surely some re-runs of Friends or Scrubs is cheaper.

    You are missing nothing. Broke at 16.55 for news and back on now re-running the competition promo again. This show has less content and more repetition than Ireland AM.

    Poor RTE, all they can think of is putting even more overpaid presenters, into a very tired format. They believe this will make more people watch mindless daytime magazine pap. I suggest to RTE; be more imaginative, take risks and start treating your audience as if they have a brain.

    Watched the show yesterday and it wasn't for me at all. I didn't like the cookery part not being "live". The presenters being behind the desk doesn't work for me.

    I've seen it all now. Neil Prendeville is a guest on today's show. :rolleyes:

    They better make sure that his hands are above the table at all times...
