RTE staff as guests on RTE programmes

Just saw lineup for tomorrow’s LLS. I’m sick of seeing/hearing RTE staff as guests on TV/Radio programmes.

Scraping the arse of the barrel is what it's called.

Meerium wanted my cousin to go on her show when he was here on holidays but he refused.

ignorance is strength

Higgins’ show that she’s promoting will, I presume, air on RTE. Home of the Year is commissioned by RTE.

The gripe isn’t that they are employed by RTE; it’s that mediocre LLS guest lists are heavy with personalities who appear in other RTE programmes.

40% of the guest line up is RTE related (don'tcha just love statistics) :P

Last night beteern the 9 news and Prime Time, they even did a promo for LLS, and they said Dobbo will be along to tell us about his career.

How sad is that? He was the main guest obviously at that stage.

It's just a chat show for Rte employees now.
Time to wrap it up.

Why didn't they interview his comrade Sharon, at least she"d be easy on the eye.

Tonight’s LLS line up has lots of RTE connections

DG should insist that all appearances by employees or contracted “personalities” are included in their existing pay... that’d soon put an end to the back scratching.

Des Cahill is a guest tomorrow night

Thank god.

I've been suffering withdrawal symptoms since the All Ireland Final 2 weeks ago.

2 weeks without Des Cahill on TV is just cruel.

Lasts nights D’Arcy Show was full of RTE staff ... as guests!
