I’d imagine 2FM would have some value, given all the other radio stations that are able to survive. It has a national licence and if one came up in the morning there would be bidders. Obviously you’d be gutting the staff to cut costs.
RTE 2 if it came with the sports rights would have some value as well you’d think. Not much, but someone might take it off you and lower the running costs
Not as much as before but 2fm would have been very valuable in the late 2000s and it served little to no public service broadcasting interest. It’s market share has been continually eroded since more and more commercial licenses were granted.
There was a greater argument for RTÉ2 as it holds children’s programming and sports. There is also more of an argument that commercial tv leads to people consuming more PSB, rather than 2fm. It needed to be sold off as the station that showed Friends though, again the new licenses issued in the 2000s for tv channels and the digital increase should have warned RTÉ to what was going to happen.
The fact that RTÉ considered closing down Lyric is a disgrace & should not have happened.
I’d say the establishment are not looking forward to the end of covid… The spotlight is gonna swing firmly back onto the economy and housing and all these cunts with their heads well and truly above the parapet will be shot at.
The economic boom post Covid will be off the charts.
Saving rates have never been higher. Lads who kept their jobs have realised once they stop drinking all their money in pubs they have quite a bit of it.
There is plenty of austerity coming down the track so a lot of people will hold onto money for a rainy day fund.
That’s what happened after 2008. People who had money were afraid to spend it.
Many were afraid to show the had dosh “squirrelled away”
Normal expected behaviour after any financial crash. That generation will be savers/prudent for life.
Lots of socialising and holiday funds have gone into homes and gardens as people are there all day.
Anyone with cash will be booking a foreign holiday asap.
