    Yes. Lots of people. It's one of the top-rated programs in the country.

    The communication tax is going to RTE and state broadcasting entities. It is also being used to subsidise print media that are supposed to be failing or suffering as a result of the digital age. Quite frankly I will not be paying it just like the TV licence charge. I do not see why I should have to pay for government run sh!te and a dying industry. I don't buy papers and I shouldn't have to pay to keep them afloat. I wonder how much of this Denis O'Brien will get for his newspapers when he starts claiming they are dying.

    That's because the most watched shows are big events, sports, etc.

    But Fair City is consistently in the top shows so over the year gets huge ratings.
