RTE Demographics

Yag reuoY

Does anyone know the distribution of RTE employees depending on to their county of origin? IE No. of employees based on where they're from?

I have a horrid feeling it's slightly Dublin-centric.

Surely not!

You get Nationwide. That should be more than enough for your kind.

Slightly Dub-centric? What are you high on?

Has anyone ever heard an 'alright bud accent' presenting the news on RTE?!

RTE's target demographic are 70+'s.

TV3's target audience is significantly younger but still ****ty programming.

TG4's watchers are getting smaller and smaller.... :rolleyes:

A nice cup of barrys tea and some chocolate biscuits should help those feelings... just don't turn on the TV

Their studios are located in Donnybrook, in County Dublin.
Surprisingly, a large proportion of their employees are from Dublin, or have lived in, or just outside Dublin for quite some time.

You see, they justify their existence by claiming they are a national broadcaster, yet I don't see this in their programming.

I'm not Irish, but why, for example, should someone from Galway subsidise something as utterly rubbish as Fair City?

It doesn't make any sense, from any perspective.

Joe Duffy is Dub as you get, full of windy opinion.

Bracken, Riordans, Glenroe, Killnaskuddy?

Being from Dublin, I always thought they were targeting folk from the country, since 99% of what they show is of zero interest to me or anyone I know.

Now you're saying country folk don't like that rubbish either and you think they're Dub-centric?

Who exactly are they targeting so?! :pac:

Well Dublin people also subsidized such quality programming as Glenroe and Ballykissangel. What's your point?

RTE had no hand act or part in that. Or Father Ted (for the really slow)

It just seems that every second news report has some inbred Dub attach 'Dooblin' at the end of each segment. That and pretty much every programme.

Maye it's just me imagining things. :pac:

Their bank accounts with their pay-cheques. They don't give a toss about anything else.

I'm from Dublin, and I don't see why someone from Dublin should subsidise rubbish like Fair City, either.

To me it seems that the majority of their programmes (apart from Fair City) involve mostly non-Dublin issues.

My point is, no such crap should exist.

:pac:

I'd rather have NO such programming just for the sake of a decent news service.

Not going to happen when RTE is controlled by the government.

Watch tomorrow's news and tell me how many reports are from out of Dublin - that will set you straight.

You do realise that one third of the population lives in the greater Dublin area, so you might expect more of the national news to occur in this area.

News happenings outside Dublin? :eek: How dare the rest of the world have stuff going on.

Thankfull glenroe is gone a long time.

But if I watch the news from other countries (and I do, daily) I see a majority of reports from the capital city there too - seems normal to me. That's where the government and main centres of finance etc are, as well as quarter the population, so it is the location for lots of stories.

Every day I see lots of reports from outside Dublin - if that's where the events happened.

Old enough to have been a fan of the Riordans in that queasy Sunday night 8 pm way!

I understand that. I'd be pretty happy if 66.6% of the news pertained to the rest of Ireland.

It doesn't. :mad:

Of course lots of news happens outside Dublin, but I think a majority of news of national importance (when you only have 30 mins to report it) happens in the Dublin area.
