Hate for RTE

    The respect for RTE in general is at an all time low. One family member noted that RTE 1 is now showing clips of old comedians interviewed by Gay Byrne years ago. A lot of conversations between people now tends to be about how bad RTE's TV output is.

    You could sum up RTE's output as Mrs Brown, reality shows and repeats, and repeats of Mrs Brown and reality shows! And many have! But to be fair, they often are first or early to show good dramas from abroad and have made some of their own albeit perhaps with a 30 year gap between them!

    The drivel like Ireland's Fittest Family, Dancing with the Stars, Operation Transformation, etc. I think is what angers most people. A lot of these shows are there to push RTE's employees and favourites at us and the chatshows seem to be just about these other shows too. The chatshows will be all about Dancing with the Stars and Operation Transformation you will see over the next few weeks!

    There's not one good show on RTE over Christmas and there always is shows featuring the likes of Keith Barry or Alison Spittle and with names as uninventive as their content The [person's name] Show always! RTE seemingly can only make TV that is lightweight most of the time.

    The strong hatred for all things RTE is confounded by their heavy handed demand for licence fees and their 'supported by your licence fee' and 'licence fee knock on the door' ads. They had these on over Christmas. No wonder people are more than annoyed with RTE and how it goes on.
