Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

RT will not be able to do podcasting. I have being doing it for 7 years and when I started it was much easier in that there were less podcasts available.
Now everybody and anybody is doing a podcast and if I was launching a new podcast today I am not sure if I would do it.
To have a successful podcast you need the following three things:
1 - A successful brand that people know and trust. That is not RT.
2 - You will need a sponsor as you won't be doing the podcast for free. RT won't be able to get a sponsor.
3 - You need listeners to make it a success and RT won't be getting many listeners.
There are certain podcast platforms that will place ads on your podcast and you will get paid from these ads on your podcast. To get paid you need to have listeners and as I said above RT would not get many listeners.
He could try and go down the subscription route but as I have already said he won't get many listeners.
So in essence podcasting and RT is a no go.
Where did all that money go?
There was talk of axing the Angeles at 6pm...
coke and hookers? No, sorry that was boards
:pac:
That's about three months expenditure.
Think Funny Friday 😉
Strange as this will sound but RTE would struggle to get good, experienced people to fill their senior management positions for that kind of money.
True, they're (possibly) paying twice that amount to the current CFO and he doesn't even know his own salary, or much else that goes on in the organisation for that matter it seems.
sure they can go to the BBC/C4 ETC
You’re living in cuckoo land if you think RT wouldn’t be able to get any sponsor for a podcast.
Say what you like about the presenters but no-one in a position to be a senior level manager will take a role for 100k. If you had the expertise, experience and by extension so many other opportunites, would you?
Top 20 earners should be regularly drug tested.
And if they’re not on something they should be reprimanded.
How do you get rid of the current staff, e.g. the current CFO to make space for the BBC/C4 etc?
You think good people from the BEEB/C4 will leave their jobs in England to come here for €100k?
I am not living in cloud cuckoo land. What company would wantt to be associated with RT? The current sponsor of his radio show is cancelling their one year contract before the year is up.
His audience is old folk. They don't do podcasts.
Can't imagine what he'd come up with anyway. His MO is death and misery.
He knew his salary. He just didn't want to tell the world what he was on. And I think it was an unfair question for him to have to reveal his wage to the whole Country.
Tub's tales from the Morgue, He investigates what happened to bodies in the morgue and see how long it takes for him to get a horn
RIP.ie sponsor of Tubridy aPodcast.
And this one just in……
You are, mate. He might not be able to get sponsorship from the likes of Renault (for now at least) but there’s any number of companies who are uninterested in this latest controversy who would be happy to sponsor him. He was the most successful living broadcaster in the country for almost fifteen years, that kind of equity doesn’t evaporate overnight. No matter what the headers online say.
Unless it was written into their contracts that they had to submit to testing, they can refuse to be drug tested without penalisaton.
I never bought my current TV as I won it.
Not strange at all. Market pay dictates who you get sometimes.
Might sound strange to someone who thinks the wages of senior management should be capped at €100k.
I wonder if we did a poll on here on this what would the response be?
Does anyone on here think RT would get a sponsor for a podcast?
I won my car so I don’t need to tax it. Outstanding logic.
Well done, what car did you win?
That's a very good question? I was asking myself the same thing.
Hey now, Joe's already got that one
Surely NK could sponsor Tubs with all his Covid tubsidies subsidies? He helped get Tubs into this.
Done Deal is also a sister company of Boards.
