RTÉ Needs A Revenue Boost - But Where Will It Come From? - Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock | Transcription & Insights

Audio

Description

It emerged last weekend that RTÉ sought a €55 million annual funding boost from the State, which it never got. Staff at the broadcaster have been warned that the organisation cannot continue as it is without a significant increase in state funding. That's unlikely to materialise in the upcoming budget. So, what now? Does the solution lie in a doubling of the licence fee, cutting staff, or selling its Dublin 4 campus and starting from scratch?In today’s podcast, Larry Bass of ShinAwiL Productions predicts a grim future in which the state broadcaster will be without funding to make Irish productions and could be caught up in industrial disputes. We’re also joined by Irish Times business affairs correspondent Mark Paul, who this week wrote that RTÉ’s funding woes are of its own making.Plus: Peter Hamilton has a roundup of some of the other business stories of the week, including the much mourned closure of beloved Dublin venue The Bernard Shaw. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
