RTÉ 'competition', worth raising issue with BAI?

    RTÉ has been using between-program links (the narration over credits) to promote a 'competition' (Answer a question where the answer is made entirely obvious) this afternoon. They've just shown the competition again "Watch to Win".

    Is it worth raising an objection to this with the Broadcasting Association, given that they're making extra revenue where they already get license payer's fees and govt funding?

    It is what it's.

    Whay about the competitions on the Late Late Show and others.

    And all their product placement.

    I'm sure it's all legal.

    Will you be complaining about the revenue they make from ads too?

    As much as I hate RTE, don't think there is any issue with them carrying out a competition, all broadcasters do them.
