Perry is well out of her depth. Zero gravitas. Only a matter of time before she’s moved on

While I don’t watch the 6 o’ clock news as much as I used to, I think that Caitriona is getting a rough time from some of the posters. One poster made a horrible comment recently on this thread (I think) and I criticised the tone of it. It must have been removed as I can’t find it.

The summer bulletins for the Six One have begun on RTÉ One this evening.

There was a subtle difference in the presentation of the headlines & the top story for this evening's Six One.

Catriona Perry had stood up on her own at the start to do her intro. After the theme music played out in full; there was a panned camera shot rolling along the studio floor up to the newswall with Catriona reading the main story after it. The new camera shot up to the newswall for this evening looked well as I hadn't seen it before.

When Catriona Perry & Keelin Shanley were given the new roles in Six One; why couldn't they use those opening camera shots from day 1 when they began presenting their hour long bulletins? It would have made a nice change to the previous opening shots when Bryan Dobson & Sharon Ni Bheolain were the main presenters.

Will they use the new shot with both Keelin & Catriona when RTÉ News gets their new studio in a few months time?

Seen a couple of new faces reading the news recently at 6, and they were very good.

Think one was Vivienne Traynor, who would normally be a correspondent who you'd see doing reports, must have been brought in to cover holidays over the summer.

Can't remember the other one, but female also.

The silly season Six One gives us a chance to see the excellent Reeling In The Years.Showed 2009 yesterday evening.

It was good up to 2000, but from 2000 to 2010 it’s all just Westlife & the Late Late Show,
Basically RTÉ blowing smoke up their own ar$es!!

In about 2055 or when RTE stops broadcasting whichever happens sooner.

Expect more of the same in 2020 for the series covering 2010-2019, substituting One Direction or Ed Sheeran or whoever for Westlife. Although having stated that, there were plenty of Late Late Show clips in the series covering the 60s to the 90s as well.

She's doing fine tbh.

'Reeling in the Years' is the best thing RTE has even done - I won't hear a word against it.

OK but when the same clips are repeated several times year after year since 1999 (when the first series was originally broadcast) it does become tedious. Anyway, as has been pointed out, a lot of viewers would agree that the series covering 2000-2009 was not up to the same standard as the earlier editions.

I think the episodes are like photos; you will always prefer the older ones, because there is more nostalgia attached the further back you go.

But they have to make one for every year and, even though I would not be so interested in seeing the 2017 episode now, in 10 or 20 years it will have ripened nicely.

Another new(ish) presenter, this time on the 1 o'clock news.

One of the others must have got the squirts or something just before they were due to go on air. He looks uncomfortable.

Yes. He was also a former presenter of News2day a few years ago.

Nothing new there, surely.

Wish the lad well,but ‘stuffed shirt’ is how this poster sees him as.

Even his hair is clenched.

Uhhm.... I’m sure there’s a message there, have to admit I’m not up to speed on it.

Great post though.

The kind I like - obtuse.

I wonder will any other sports presenters start presenting the news over the summer

Looks like they are trying out punters.Dude on tonight should loosen up.

Jaqui was looking like she threw on a bit of lumber, in fairness.

Cahill won't be a contender though, too busy organising 'de paartie '

But there's still definitely nothing sexist about the critique on here.

This girl has only been on for 4 minutes and she’s already much better than Perry.

Can we keep her?

Dee Forbes used to be boss of Discovery channel. Hence my references to Shark Week.

Come September the deadly duo, Shanley and Perry, will be back on air.

At one point, the sports presenter reading the news handed over to the sports presenter doing the sports, who then handed over to the sports presenter from the main sports story at the minute. Shame there was no other sports presenter available to be handed over to.

Just catching up on last night's. A cleanskin!

They're a few annual leave requests away from just hanging up a "sorry, shut until Sept 1st" sign, aren't they?

Nominations for best sports presenter to present the weather? I know he's retired but I think Micheál M would be terrific

Has Kate Egan appeared yet? Another August helper.

Joanna Donnelly would be great craic reading the news .

Kate is a good newsreader. I think that she may have subbed presenting a Saturday current affairs show and afair she struggled

Under His Eye

I agree she is probably the most competent of the part timers.

Don't think much of this robot reading the news.
Don't think much of him reading the sports either.
How do some people get gigs in RTE for life?

It'd go on until 8.10.

Brian Finn has read news in the past. I think he does a great job with the business news on the radio.

That'd really confuse my Plus box, that thinks we're getting a full hour of news, and ends up recording half an hour of "nope, nothing on this channel!" blue screen.

He is quite good, but screws it up with the pronounciation.

It’s not ‘Munny’ it’s ‘Money’.

Terrible stuff, and it’s a pity.

As someone with very poor diction (th issues!!!) I don’t really notice. I like that Conor is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about delivering the business news-he is well able to answer any question presenters might throw at him.

Yes agree there, but pronouncing the letter ‘o’ shouldn’t be too difficult to rectify.

Pronouncing ‘something’ as ‘summthing’ though shouldn’t be too difficult to sort out.

Maybe Culm o Moongain might be able to help;)

"pronunciation".

Yes, because English is, as is well known, a very consistently spelt and pronounced language in which the letter "o" always has the same value, regardless of context.

What weird accent of your own devising do you have going on there in which "some" and "sum" aren't homophones?

Nothing weird, just that ‘some ‘ and ‘ sum’ should be pronounced differently.

Except in English. Of every feasible variety.

Don't suppose you do IPA transcriptions, though. What does "some" rhyme with, for you?
