    I certainly doubt it’s for news now It was only in December it was reported news now might close https://m.independent.ie/business/media/rte-to-axe-tv-news-channel-as-services-hit-by-financial-woes-36393796.html

    I’d imagine it’s a sports desk or a different desk for the news headline bulletins and use the main desk for 1,6 and 9 o clock news. Either way it’s some money to be investing. I think they should develop the news now channel. There’s loads that could be done. Have traffic info maybe webcams etc on a portion of the screen Beats the same info rotating every 3/4 mins

    It would be better spend on improving News Now or improving their foreign team, or putting news back on RTÉ2.

    There appears to be a temporary set in operation at the moment for News and The Week in Politics. The background digital screen has been replaced with a static, printed background.

    Perhaps this is the full extent of the revamp in the RTÉ News studio? - In the event that it is, I'm not sure it was worth the money. It looks like some change in background screen & desk design - not sure how other viewers would regard it but it does not impress me a whole lot as it's not enough of a change if it cost a lot of money to roll it out. Just my opinion anyway.

    Will be interesting to see, that set was supposed to be flexible but RTÉ seemed to have no idea how to manipulate it when it last changed.

    Also Kellen Shandley (sp?) mentioned the set change in an Irish interview recently you should see it early next month.

    Expect no change to News Now until it closesdown in 2020!

    Bring back TWIP’s old look.

    Ah ok, so maybe this is still in transition.
    (Keelin Shanley who now usually co-presents Six-One News. I recall her time as a reporter on RTÉ's current affairs programme "Primetime".)

    I wonder why viewers get to see it morph into a temporary set design rather than keep it under wraps until it is fully revamped for live public broadcasts?

    I knew RTÉ News Now was facing the prospect of closure, I was not ware that a final decision had been made or that it will cease in 2020! The service had no funds as they were not permitted to earn any commercial advertising revenue along with some of the other RTÉ digital services. There has been talk of an "RTÉ 2+1" time-shift service that would replace RTÉ News Now although; one wonders does it make commercial sense anymore to launch time-shift versions given the whole way Catch-Up TV services operate these days.

    I want to see better quality news. Complete lack of originality with the same plot lines rehashed over and over. Change a few names, locations and dust it off and reuse seems to be the motto.

    Is the RTÉ 9 O'Clock news on RTÉ One the last LIVE news programme on RTÉ Television nowadays?
    If so, there should be a LIVE news update on RTÉ TV scheduled (at least Mon - Fri) as wrapping up at 9:28pm seems inadequate from the national broadcaster unless current affairs programme "Primetime" is coming on and running with an ongoing developing story from an Irish perspective.
    Over the years you would have had RTE2 "Newsnight" initially to be replaced later by "Network News" on Network 2 and this eventually became "News on 2" while you also had a Late News summary on RTÉ One at around 11:40pm for many years.
    Then when RTÉ 2 dropped it's late night news altogether and RTÉ One dropped it's "Late News" summary, it fell to "RTÉ News Now" channel to broadcast live 11:00pm news bulletin but I gather this was also axed but this was probably because unlike other news programmes it was not simulcast on RTÉ One tv and probably had very low audience figures as the RTÉ News Now channel never became must watch tv.
    Now you just have "Late News Extra" on Friday nights only which is bizarre when all the other nights have no late news broadcast on RTÉ TV!

    Do you have a source that 2020 has been confirmed as the close date? Last I read was RTE had to apply for ministerial approval. Not doubting you, just curious to read it

    Damien Tiernan is leaving RTÉ News. After 23 years; he is to bow out from his role as South East Correspondent.

    That's a shame. Damien was a fine reporter and I believe he succeeded Michael Ryan as South East correspondent. Michael later went on to become the face of Nationwide which is now presented by both Mary Kennedy & Anne Cassin. Damien will be missed on screen.

    I see on etenders they are going to link up all the radio offices with video links back to Dublin.

    I see alot of this on BBC where they do interviews of the local politician in the local BBC radio station. Could this help with filling time on a more live news.

    Did a quick flick through all them, amazing just how similar the music and sets are on a lot of them.

    My favourite was the Romanian Antena 1 at 13:50 mark.

    Never thought anyone would beat our Sharon, but we have a winner!

    And here’s the press release. The set looks nice, the titles are your traditional globe stuff but look well.

    The logo is the same. The music has been rearranged but is the same tune.

    I am ho-hum about it, yes spacious but why the couch? Are they planning a morning show? Biggest change they needed was a new logo and new colours.

    I had heard that the One news was getting a revamp no idea it included the Six One as well. It can't be that long since it was last revamped is it? I don't see why they need to do it. I wonder how much it all cost?

    The couch looks odd for a news broadcast and out of place.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They’ll probably have a new studio before this happens lol

    Due to the Eurovision final, today's Main Evening News will be broadcast at 8:40 on RTÉ News Now only, according to the TV Listings on RTÉ's Entertainment website. Clearly, the time when it was broadcast on RTÉ One after Eurovision is in the past!

    At the end of six one there was no indication of any further bulletins and on s aorview epg for news now there's no indication of any live news except Euronews starting at 10 tonight

    You're right - the Saorview EPG contradicts the RTÉ Entertainment website's listings (The same happened last year, I think). Obviously, RTÉ isn't bothering with a late TV news bulletin on Eurovision night anymore.

    Given it was well after midnight when it finished, you can understand why they wouldn’t have bothered - certainly no point in running a full length Nine on RTE One at that point.

    Why could they not have had the bulletin on RTÉ Two instead? That's what was done when the Eurovision took place on the same day as the counting of the votes in the same-sex marriage referendum.

    There always has been a short main evening bulletin on Christmas Day. This is the first year when there hasn't been one on Eurovision night.

    I notice Sharon Tobin doing 6.1 news a lot lately, good to see she's a fine news reader, I interviewed her during my radio course many years ago (when she was in TV3 at time)

    I also notice that RTE aren't making any fuss about it maybe to save embarrassment if figures were low etc...

    Shanley!

    Seems that they've taken presenters off for the others Maternity leave, Sharon Tobin seems to be the main news presenter on RTÉ now, I think she probably locks up at the end of the day also!
