    RTÉ has confirmed it was €65.2 million in the red last year following a major restructuring of the company.

    The net deficit emerged in the broadcaster’s annual report for 2012, which also revealed an operating profit of €2.2 million. The State broadcaster insisted it is on target to break even in 2013.

    Much of RTÉ’s deficit was due to a one-off €46 million restructuring charge.

    This funded an overhaul of the company’s operations, which was aimed at ultimately reducing the company’s cost base.

    RTÉ said the €2.2 million euro operating profit was made in spite of further reductions in revenue in 2012 and was driven by reductions in operating costs of €18.4 million euros.

    Some big numbers in there, should I assume the €65.2 million is the total net loss, which they will either have to finance or pay off?
