RTÉ ONE, 2, Junior, and Player

Thread in a similar vein as the Virgin Media One, Two, Three, and Sport.

I suppose not to veer into anti-RTÉ territory rather why have they schedule this here? why isn't this player? what are they doing with RTÉ2 ETC why did they do this, type questions.

So anyone know when they dropped RTÉ Food and Archive from the LIVE Player list of channels?

Although, as I post that, I was thinking that a post watershed den for adults who did watch it could be quite good.

Huge fan of Zig and Zag and The Den, but they always felt flat with pre-scripted material, hopefully its live and maybe interactive with the audience, otherwise it will just be Zig and Zag Bloopers all over again.

You'd wonder if its really a replacement for a Saturday night chat show.

Shocking scheduling.

I can only assume they're targeting the people who watched the den when small, not small people now...

Well, The Den is coming back on Sunday at 6:30pm on RTÉ ONE and has Ray, Dustin, Socky and Zig n' Zag.

Irish TV seems to have given up on quiz shows in recent years.

I have often wondered why they don't mass produce some cheep game show to show on RTE 1 daytime, far too many soap repeats and cookery shows on the daytime schedule.

What is up with rte1 on sky at the minute. Half of it is rte hd1 instead of the program

Why don't RTE try showing movies on rte 2 weeknights @ 7 ?

Maybe more expensive to buy in, not sure if it would make much difference in terms of audience.

IMO many of the late night imports could suit along with some marketing and promos for the channel.

Late night repeats of TBBT & The Simpsons from 11:30

While at 7 a lot of the US Network dramas could air such as NCIS franchise & Chicago franchise.

I’m pretty convinced that RTE have decided that the TRTE audience is essentially lost to them and gone to Nickelodeon/Disney/streaming services, which kind of serves them right in one way for programming so many Nickelodeon/Disney programmes in the strand but on the other hand leaving a large cohort of future license payers lost to the national broadcaster. This is the lesson the BBC has learnt really slowly in essentially abandoning the teenager market completely and ghettoising BBC Three to the iPlayer.

The ratings continue to be shocking for RTE Two. Home And Awat is the 20th most watched show in last weeks Top 20 - with an audience of 29,000.

Prime time programming which can't get a figure of 30,000+ include This Country, Celebrity Bainisteoir, White Gold, Greys Anatomy and Condor amongst others.

Wednesday had:
7 Top Gear
8 Saoi Sa Chathaoir
8:30 Gliondar
9 White Gold
9.30 Greys Anatomy
10:30 Pride At The Apollo

The entire evening had less than 29,000 views. How questions aren't being asked is crazy.

I Remember the days when Home & away got 650k viewers per evening ðŸ˜²

The Den got a different look every year it came back. TRTÉ is in its way out, no DOG/Bug, most shows now promoted as being on RTÉ2, little mention of it on social media.

It's pretty bad that TRTE has had the same look for approximately 10 years. Imagine if back in 1999 den2 still looked like Dempsey den from 1989.

They've refreshed their website today. very plain.

Not really sure why they now have 3 presenters on Nationwide. One of them should have been given the opportunity to present a late night news on RTÉ2. This would have in turn allowed them to have more content on RTÉ News Now.

I assume all of the EPGs here will have the channel renamed to RTÉ News?

Is the channel still managed by RTÉ Commercial Enterprises or will it change hands?

I was fairly sure that it was operated by RTÉ News and Current Affairs. The app might be Commerical Enterprises but the channel I think is N and CA.

The Ray D’Arcy Show will be back on Saturday nights - I know they were knocking around ideas for a format change (as two audienceless chat shows on ginormous sets was a bit much in these times) but apparently it will be back.

https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2020/0826/1160954-new-season/

The press release seem to suggest that they would provide more info, so wasn't expecting them to return with a chat show.

You would think they would put people at dinner tables around the studio, how many people can you have in a place at anyone time?

More interestingly, the unexpected need to find Sarah McInnerny a job after she impressed on Today has led to several moves on Radio 1’s news programmes, with virtually every one of them having a new line up (Aine Lawlor/Mary Wilson on Morning Ireland, Claire Byrne on Today, Bryan Dobson on News at One, Cormac O Eadhra/Sarah McInnenry on Drivetime, and Katie Hannon on Saturday).

- This channel could have so much potential if done right. Ridiculous they can't show ads not that they would get many at this time.

Have to say I didn't read that in the press release but its about the most surprising aspect. I suppose with Covid it was always going to be difficult. It's a pity that they are announcing Radio with TV. They could have given Sarah McInnerny RTÉ Lunchtime news on TV, biggest surprise is Mary Wilson going from Drivetime.

Awful lot of shows that were postpone in the list. https://about.rte.ie/2020/08/27/spend-time-at-home-with-rte-as-new-line-up-for-autumn-2020-%e2%80%afreflects-our-changed-lives%e2%80%af%e2%80%af/

No news on Ray D'Arcy's TV show yet.

Is there any more details about Ray Darcy's apparent new quiz show on RTÉ because of the Covid restrictions. From seeing some of the Indo's article, which is behind a paywall, RTÉ are scrapping their usual routine of having one chat show on both Friday & Saturday nights arising from the lack of a live studio audience.

The Late Late show will be back for RTÉ as usual. The Ray Darcy Show is put on hold because of Covid.

Still not shown by the BBC but spotted it on Oireachtas TV last night though it wasn't listed om the EPG .

If anyone is wondering why Oireachtas TV was showing it they are one of the listed TV stations it was made for .
