    or move it's format toards more minority genres, along with removing the imported programing from tv and investing in home grown programing across tv.
    simply binning rte's radio stations rather then using them to target minority programing is not in the public interest.


    i have to agree. RTE paying for imported programs that people can watch elsewhere is just a waste of money. spend it on something homegrown. Produce something of quality that they can also sell abroad

    Who cares if the "top talent" gets poached by commercial networks you say? well, rte and some of us who have to pay for it whether we want to or not do. as these people seem to bring in the ratings for better or worse. the reality is those who bring in the most ratings and in rte's case, advertisers will be paid high salaries, the same is the case for bbc and i wouldn't be surprised if other state and other broadcasters are the same.
    Ratings and "star power" only matter if you're selling advertising.

    If you're providing content to a genuine public service broadcasting remit simple competency will suffice.

    Media jobs, particularly those in front of camera are highly desired and, thus, there's no shortage of supply of labour so there should be no need to pay high salaries to attract competent presenters.
