RTÉ NEWS needs to drop all the side scrolling text at this point in its life, if it can do it for Sports and Live Press Conferences it can do it for all other types of programming.
Oireachtas TV has Irish sign language and RTE News carry scrolling text and wrap around graphics so neither channel is ideal for watching debates.
TG4 actually did have a red button on Saorview for a rugby match (I think) years ago. I can only remember it happening once.
I don't think it is the same as sport. Ideally RTÉ News would also carry analysis of the confidence debate and RTÉ News would also have their own news programmes to avoid clashes with RTÉ ONE and Oireachtas e.g. Leaders Debate on RTÉ ONE while RTÉ News carries something else with a repeat of Leaders Debate after the lunchtime news.
I think when you have the use of changing the audio on all RTÉ channels then the option should be added to Irish Commentary but I also think that if RnaG is covering the game its audio should be used rather then a different set of commentators.
Yea it was. There’s also plenty of times when RTÉ One and RTÉ News are showing Dáil debates at the same time as Oireachtas Channel. Such a waste of time.
Its a pity RTÉ Three never happened. Some good American series that are shown late nights on One or 2 could have been shown on it. The extra sports and some of their great archive material. Surely it would have covered it’s costs from potential advertising.
Also off topic but it’s a pity TG4 don’t put some of their extra sports on a red button. I watched some good GAA games on YouTube during the year.
Yes as was RTÉ News.
Was Oireachtas TV showing the debate?
RTE News Channel showed the debate yesterday but when the vote came along they had to show the Shamrock Rovers game because football was on RTE2.
RTE are buying content but then struggling to show it all. Virgin have loads off channels but struggle with good content.
I think the game is also on RnaG, along with Irish TV commentary, you'd think that they would just put RnaG's audio on to RTÉ2. No reason for it to also be on the News Channel.
TG4 aren't rights holders so how would that work and you are proposing the same game to go out on two of the main channels simultaneously.
If anyone wants Irish commentary with HD then select the Irish audio stream on RTÉ 2 (on saorview at least). I don't understand why RTÉ never mention this as the SD picture on the news channel is poor enough.
The GAA games with Irish commentary should be shown on TG4 and not RTE News channel. I have checked TG4 recently when RTE News had a game and found on one day an Italian film and another day a U.S. show. Only in Ireland.
I believe so. There were only 5 episodes made anyway.
Sorry I ask this before may have been answered, Did RTÉ actually air all episodes of their Ant and Dec programme in the end?
Jon Williams Head of News and CA has resigned, he just recently announced 2 new current affairs programmes, one to replace Claire Byrne Live and another one from Nuacht RTÉ.
Right now there isn't a second rteJr being transmitted. Its the one common channel listed twice on the saorview EPG.

I was wondering if they are planning to introduce a +1 version as 11 - 19 seem to reserved for +1 channels. Logically as both +1 one channels for RTÉ are on 11 and 12, 13, 14, 15... reserved for VMTV one +1, TG4+1 and so on, 17 being for RTÉjr+1
Why is rte junior broadcasting on two channels, 7 & 17, the last couple of weeks?
true but you have constancy, it will be interesting to see if either EastEnder or Emmerdale remains on at 7:30. Other option is an hour on Sunday and Tuesday.
Is Emmerdale not on Thursday for an hour for 7:30-8:30pm
Hour on Tuesday and Thursday IMO from 8pm
Why not an hour on Tuesday night.
So they are moving Thursday's to avoid clashing with Emmerdale but have moved Wednesday to Friday clashing with Emmerdale!
I think they had 3 options
7pm Monday To Thursday
7pm and 8pm Tuesday and Thursday
8pm Tuesday and Thursday
FAIR CITY AIRS ON RTÉ ONE SUNDAY 8PM | TUESDAY 8PM | THURSDAY 8:30PM | FRIDAY 7:30PM.
Looks like they've changed the Thursday time to a later time as well. Looks very messy.
They are making the change from 12th of June.
Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
Friday Nights episode will go out at 7:30, all other nights at 8pm.
Covid came in very handy for the national lottery to bin winning streak, it's something the owners have probably wanted to do since 2015 but feared a backlash.
How long has this been going on for, and what cost are they saving, they have plenty of repeat imports that they can air.
Yes both RTÉ 1 and RTE 2 start around 8am these days. I presume it’s a cost saving exercise.
They may as well simucast RTÉjr as Euronews
Euronews now running until 8am weekday mornings on RTE 2 ?
Clare Byrne Live axed.
