    The Late Late has ceased to be of relevance or a talking point of the nation for over 20 years.
    Television as a whole is dieing.

    She is on air for less than 4 hours a week (considering the weather forecasts are on at about 12.52 and of course the Angelus and the news). Whats more for great chunks of the years she is nowhere to be heard. Euros per Hour, she is easily the best paid person in RTE. Her research consists of reading the papers.

    Just like Johnny Giles so and he's probably on bucketloads too.

    Listen to Joe Duffy, he has a special way of dealing with mentions of RTE wages. He pretends the caller didn't say it and he continues talking about something else. Never mentions it, never gets into debate about it, simply pretends he didn't hear it.

    Now, if the top 10 earners in any other semi state was released and made the news he'd cover it.

    Same with the licence fee. He'll list off a load of "stealth taxes" like bin charges, prsi, property tax, water charges, tolls, but guess what one he'll never mention?

    RTE wages, gerry ryans overdose and the tv licence are the 3 no-go areas for Duffy




    As I have said elsewhere, Joe Duffy is a professional rabble rouser, paid almost as much as Barack Obama (actually much more than POTUS until a recent pay cut) to answer people's phone calls on the public airwaves. I recall hearing one of his programmes a few years ago, where he stirred the sh:t as much as possible about a case where somebody was jailed for non-payment of fines after littering at a bottle bank.

    Almost breathless with indignation, he ranted on about how ordinary citizens were being jailed for going to the bottle bank, whereas the corrupt bankers were getting off scott free. Bottle bank versus the bankers -- geddit? Joe even suggested that Local Authorities should provide Council workers to attend at bottle banks in order to help people dispose of their rubbish.

    No mention of the number of people jailed for TV licence offences, though I did text in a comment to that effect.

    That said, I pay my TV licence every year (though given the amount of American crap pumped out by RTE I should be paying 160 dollars rather than 160 euro).

    A much lower amount of money.
