Asitis2019 wrote: » Ah will you go wan and get out of the park Joe has actually INCREASED Rte's advertising. Goodwill referrals will lead to future advertising revenues. Joe recognizes, the astute business man that he is, that business is based on relationships not transactions. So NOT only has Joe increased commerce, he has increased advertising revenue. You see Joes knows how things work - yes, you have to be a bit slippy on the rules, but he sees the big picture. Most all, he has generated commerce and future commerce - and in the process has increased future advertising share Plus other hotels will be eager to cut deals. Its all good Butter.

The show can go days and weeks with no paid advertising. The most advertised products on the show in 2015 and 2016? Mr. Duffy’s buke. Total revenue to RTE? €0
ButtersSuki wrote: » So you’re saying Mr. Duffy had no input into this decision? The man who openly mocked politicians and called them hypocrites for having paraphernalia printed abroad? Ok.... You’re a great writer of fiction yourself. You might consider a buke. Might I suggest a title for you?“Joe Duffy is the most amazing man ever. He is to broadcasting and RTE what John Delaney was to the FAI and Soccer in Ireland. He went to Trinity and if he wanted could cure cancer and run the BBC and CNN at the same time believe it or not; but he’s loyal to RTE, and I’m his biggest fan so to speak” Is it tablets or weed that has you in this state?
