TG4 is pretty nifty. Documentaries about fluffy-cheeked fishermen in dirty old jumpers. What more do you need?

I like the snide remark, but I'll take it you just haven't woken up yet.

I actually find a lot of stuff on RTE good. So there!

fussyonion

I rarely watch RTE.
I think we have dire TV; Nationwide, news, documentaries about countryside and zoos, Rose of Tralee and Winning Streak.
It's parochial and embarrassing.

I spend more time on the internet than watching TV, regardless of broadcaster.
But I do watch Rté programmes as well.

shruikan2553

No, don't have a TV but when I do I still avoid it.

AndonHandon

I watch RTE, both their own stuff and the stuff they buy the rights to.

Deranged96

Oh come on it's not that bad!

The fall, love/hate, revenge, Big Bang theory, new girl, ear to the ground (that's amazing it can't be denied), the late late show has it's moments as does the similar program on a Saturday. TG4 has a hot weather woman. The news is reliable.

Oh Shur they have home and away and neighbours too.

RTE2 always used to have quality wildlife documentaries- I owe a lot to that.

What about republic of telly? Primetime?

Can you tell I grew up with just the humble four channels?

I'll make no case for countrywide or that gay Hotel man. Awful stuff. Oh and winning strike... That's ****e too.

Dan_Solo

RTE are ****, and worse is it's **** I'm forced to pay for. Just close already.

The Backwards Man

I watch the six one news religiously.

On my knees muttering to myself.

Cultural cringe

Cultural cringe, in cultural studies and social anthropology, is an internalized inferiority complex that causes people in a country to dismiss their own culture as inferior to the cultures of other countries.

Because winning streak is a major part of Irish culture.

Please let's not start the whole if you don't love everything Irish there's something wrong with you.

Because lets face it. Your OP is up there amongst the most childish efforts of thanks whoring stupidity that has graced this forum in a long time.

In fairness if one were "thanks whoring"' it would would be odd to post the material at 1:30am.... No?

steveone

Not often . I used to listen to seascapes, sunday miscellany and mary wilson on 5/7 live but not now. I might venture the odd nationwide on tv. Rte are as bad as every other channel on tv imo. Primetime is poor, republic of telly is wodious,even the lovely jennifer maguire cant make it watchable. they should try and resurrect programmes like hands, as the crow flies etc.

Well after your thoroughly convincing points I must say I'm won over. I will never again watch any RTE channel.

Its the time most of the pisshead comments come in on a Friday.

Although it must be said, the calibre of drunken opening posts has gone downhill of late.

Most of them are shite now. A perfect example has been given tonight.

Might not be to your tastes but there's a whole demographic of people 50 years older than you who love all that. And are more likely to pay their tv licence

Everyone who is slating RTE in this thread watches/listens to it at times. Liars the lot of them.

RTE is certainly a significant factor when it comes to contemporary Irish culture.

if you don't love everything Irish there's something wrong with you.

I rarely watch RTÉ however I find the new colours used by RTÉ 2 in their titles and at breaks to be nice and purrdy!

KERSPLAT!

If there's something decent on I'll watch it, makes no odds what channel its on. You get a decent amount of sport on RTE, CL and the rugby, with some good shows like Love/Hate and The Fall, some good movies at the weekend and some decent documentaries of a Sunday evening.

I'd be as happy with RTE as I am with Sky or any other broadcaster.
