Anyone else sick of the non-stop RTE news which isn’t actually the RTE news? 
Spending the first ten minutes of the Six One news talking about themselves.
I can see RTÉ being split, ESB-style. One half just news, cultural stuff and that, paid for by the license fee. The other half separate, run commercially
That’ll last about 5 mins. Rte2 and 2fm aren’t commercially viable
They should sell the two johnnies show internationally.

There’s a market for shit twee Irishness, look at Mrs Brown’s Boys. The Aussies and Irish people living the dream would lap it up if it was on over there. I could actually see it working abroad which is the scary thing
They might need to tone down the Tipperary and ditch Una Healy
That’s a bit much
Good idea, how did RTE end up footing the bill for that Eurovision but Riverdance ended up being owned by someone else?
RTE - the Megan Rapinoe of broadcasting
It isn’t
The same thing would have happened with the Toy Show musical if it had been successful.

Riverdance was only on at Eurovision for about ten minutes as an interval act, how would RTÉ retain rights?
Rte had a ten per cent share in it.
Bakhurst was on Newstalk there and basically said I don’t give a fuck if the presenters leave. There are plenty more. Tubridy not costing them listeners is a big fuck you to all the overpaid fuckers.
Ciara Kelly and himself had a bit of back and forth over the valuation of Donnybrook, which apparently is only €100m which seems low

Even €250k a year is overly generous. €200k would have been plenty.
At the height of the Celtic Tiger, Pat Kenny was on something like €950k a year. Mental money.

Does he have to go home and tell the wife she’s getting a paycut? Could be an interesting conversation.
