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

It’s alright, they’re leaving.
An Bord Pleanala not following their own rules.
Noel Kelly represents them.
The way RTE is run, the rodents have probably been offered their own 8-part series.
And someone has commissioned "Canteen Rats : The Musical" at a cost of €12m
I don’t have to physically count thanks btw, there’s a total displayed on the bottom right hand corner of each post. A cursory glance will show you how many thanks your post has garnered.
Who was I criticizing on the Newstalk Thread? Oh that’s right, NKM clients.
And I never said my radio posts were limited to RTÉ. Nice attempt to deliberately misrepresent though.
Of course all the praise I heaped on Pat Kenny (himself and NKM client btw) as being the best and most professional radio presenter was ignored. Funny that, intriguing even,
Point of correction - I’m still on the radio forum. I’m not by any means the “most banned poster”. I know facts aren’t used often by NKM supporters but please try.
if you’re going to talk about bullying there have been concerted efforts by certain cohorts on radio and lately here to have me silenced. But bullying is ok when it’s directed at me, is that right?
Another entity that needs a powerful spotlight to be shone onto it.
We’re a bit busy at the moment, though
But how much did it actually cost Renault, for instance, across all of these years to get advertisements, MC at gig etc from RTE.
Like how much did RTE give to Renault to get the advertisement money and at the end of the day who ended up with the better deal? somehow I expect Renault are laughing at the inept RTE management as they walk away with plenty of advertisement, probably preferential advertisement and plenty of free events for higher up to go to.
Like that woman saying 1.6b on advertisement, how the f**k then are RTE constantly running millions at a loss? so what makes up the 1.6b and over what period? how much was profit and how much came in one door and went out a barter account door.
Excellent example of whataboutery.
Hard to take a lecture from Pompous Pat.
Childer? 3 twins. 😊
I did think it was interesting to hear Pat Kenny state today he had been nominated to the board of RTE previously by a minister. Isn't the whole point of a ministers nomination so that he can appoint someone external with no conflicts of interest to represent the best interest of the licence/tax payer who is contributing funding to RTE
What benefit is it to the tax payer to have an RTE presenter nominated to the board?
2FM stuck Tubs into Gerry Ryan's radio slot after his death and listenership dropped by almost 1/3. Sometimes people like certain presenters.
That's more of an example about how bad Tubs is and how bad 2FM is
When Gerry died they should have closed 2FM at the same time. It was already a dead rubber without the Gerry Ryan show
Is this the same piece of land he tried to steal off his neighbour by adverse possesion 15 years ago?
Knowing Pat it's a ruse to stop further developement IMBY;
What time do we kick off tomorrow and on what channel?
Renault were spending high six figures to sponsor the Late Late ( €500,000-€750,000) a year.
since 2014 when they started the late late sponsorship Renault sales in ireland have decreased approx 30%. Renault is 12th most popular car brand in ireland but only has one in top 40 cars sold.
Renault sold 2,656 cars in ireland in 2020. Works out to be €300 per car sold to sponsor the late late.
Toyota as number 1 sold over 13,000 for comparison. Renault sold approx 3600 back in 2014 when it restarted the late late sponsorship.
The 1.6b was over last decade I think. Rte brought in about €160m in commercial revenue in 2021.
rte is loss making so no profit.
the barter account only account for less than 1% of airtime sold in a given year.
Joe did that's why he wrote a book about them 😉
In defence of Duffy and Darcy, they at least have a bit of persona about them, a bit of character. Not worth what they're paid but put them on the payroll and pay appropriate salary. Give them more hours and there'd be value in them.
Tubridy, no - never convinced.
All good information but none of it has the underlying numbers to determine if the deal with Renault was good for RTE or good for Renault. Based on what I have seen I suspect that Renault got a very good deal for themselves compared to what they paid.
So as I expected, the 1.6b sounds like a big number but in reality it's not.
RTE should not be loss making is the point, its a combination of poor return on advertisement, low advertisement costs if you as Virgin which is set by RTE, over paid staff and some dodgy transactions.
I can't argue with that but it does go to show that sometimes the presenter makes a difference. And sometimes you have to pay decent money to keep them. I'm not saying that you need to pay mad money for presenters, but talk in this thread of having a pay cap of €100k etc. is just stupid and commercially unrealistic.
Give us names and proof please
I pointed out the 100k was not realistic earlier in the thread. Not sure who or why that number was picked but it seemed it was pulled out and it ran from their
My point was to have a similar wage structure to what other channels are offering. Also if presenters want more money they tie it to advertisements or something like that. A performance bonus based on what advertisements they can bring into RTE.
They shouldn't be buying Ray D'arcy out of a Today FM on stupid money and then he sits on his ass on a huge wage no matter what happens. Forbes told everyone it was for advertisement money on a tv show which they had to cancel very quickly
Fitzpatrick?
Surely a wind-up?
Somebody has to represent the best interests of the staff.
Represent the taxpayer. LOL
There is a station on searview called Tithe an Oireachtas. It will be on there 11am and 3pm I believe.
RTE removed their retirement age limit a few months ago. What's happening now is more stories about Marty and the Mummys past are appearing, as he becomes the topic of conversation and people are telling their tails of dealing with them.
Ha very Waterford whispers
Duffy is an ignorant bully,
Darcy a simpleton
Duffy is well able to handle himself and has a strong vein of Dublinese about him. What you say is true at times, but he's also skilful at times. No fool is Joe Duffy. His main fault I'd find is the failure to deal with the issues of the day on a programme supposedly devoted to listeners views.
Darcy seems to struggle with the tech at times. I can't quite decide if it's always real and perhaps not just part of his spiel. But apart from that, Darcy is a good interviewer when it comes to dealing with people. He's usually empathetic and listens to his guests, adjusts his line etc.
Cut their wages and get a few more hours out of them both and be good enough value imho.
Tubridy I always thought a fraud.
