RTÉ ONE, 2, Junior, and Player

No, not yet

It is a broadcast radio station, lets not let RTÉ forget that. I don't think it is on Astra, Just Saorview and Virgin Media.

Oh, I know that. I listen to it regularly. I thought you meant they had a GOLD TV channel somewhere.

No I was just saying that RTÉ NEWS could cross promote some programming from GOLD.

Where GOLD might have a piece looking back at some NEWS and CA from the past, the NEWS channel could broadcast it in vision. Even some entertainment stories etc etc.

Damn, tried to watch the England match on RTE 2, but all I could see was Static, so I went to the Laptop and fired up RTE Player, but my Laptop kept going into sleep mode due to Inactivity! 😁

I fell asleep myself then. Wake me when its over. 🇬🇧 ⚽️ 😴

Does anyone know why Mrs Browns Boys was shown on Wed instead of Harry Wild?

as part of RTÉ new direction at least one episode of every drama will be postponed by a year

it will then be replace by a drama that was postponed from last year

😂 In case anyone interested in the England game might miss an episode of Harry Wilde? Just as bad an excuse, as the one I came up with, perhaps more realistic all the same. All eps are now available on the RTÉ Player.

It strange that they didn't just move to the next episode, all episodes are available on the player. To they intend to ever broadcast that episode?

It says in the post you quoted that it's being broadcast tonight.

I see that RTE1 have begun showing Grantchester from the start (series 1) recently on a Wednesday night.

Last shown on Virgin Media in February this year, whom showed seasons 3-7, and UTV Ireland showed season 1-2.

Maybe a programme part of a wider production package that they've recently purchased, but is it really worth it considering the show has already aired in Ireland.

Feathers are easily ruffled up there on both ends of the Tricolour. I note on the news the defacing of roadside banners erected in support of Armagh's adventure to Croke Park by Loyalists, who seem to have manufactured a 'No Surrender' stencil especially for the purpose of mass graffiti production. How sad it must be for the descendents of those historical zealots, who can't come to terms with their self imposed colonial identity, unable to be any kind of 'Irish' while being a dozen generations in the land. The extreme irony is that most of the county population supporting their team will be dressed in... Orange, the County colours, and all manufactured locally in Armagh by McKeever sport (who are kitting out our Olympians).

Geoblocking is technically self imposed, by RTE, for fear of a rights action by BBC. The news reports on this were lacking in detail and were a bit politically partisan, as if the (B for British) BBC were blocking the broadcasts, when in reality they probably couldn't give a shyte. BBC iplayer is geo-blocked here for that very same reason. Heres an irony, the BBC news article in the link didn't show on my phone, as the BBC website is very fussy about access from anonymous DNS servers, which I had turned on, on my phone in order to see iPlayer. I have to turn it off to the read BBC news website articles.

Apologies over the political diatribe, there always seems to be a political angle to any news from the North that involves the GAA, now it's the Olympics.

And on a television matter, why on earth did RTE only show the Ireland Rugby 7s matches. They were on all day, compulsive viewing, short and sweet. Did they not have the rights to these? Or was it too much trouble to push them to the News now channel. Has the Olympics rights become selective? Or pay per broadcast, It wouldn't surprise me.

I think Discovery will only give a certain number of hours to each broadcaster.
