The Independent Radio and Television Commission (IRTC) is to discuss the agreement reached with Today FM on the news content of its Daybreak programme when it meets on Thursday. The commission will also study an analysis of the station's output since its relaunch two weeks ago.
The agreement reached between the IRTC and Today FM was that the morning programme would be a mix of music and current affairs.
An IRTC spokesman said a number of meetings had taken place with Today FM, formerly Radio Ireland. The station's management told the regulatory body that it was still addressing the issue and was working on the programme to make it conform to the agreement reached.
Some items including prerecorded editorials by the station's political correspondent, Mark Costigan, and sports news from Eamon Dunphy have been inserted into the morning programme. But these changes may not be enough to convince the IRTC that the programme is news and current affairs-led.
Meanwhile, Daybreak gets a second presenter, Colette Fitzpatrick (23) who was the presenter of East Coast Radio's breakfast show.
While all of Today FM's programmes are being monitored by the IRTC, the main focus has been on the Daybreak programme, presented by DJ Mark Byrne. It was to be a mix of music and talk, with the talk elements to be "news and current affairs driven", according to the IRTC. The programme's new format was introduced well in advance of the change to Today FM, and Mr Byrne was presenting the programme while the station was still Radio Ireland.
On the first day of the new-look station, its chairman, Mr John McColgan, admitted it had not got Daybreak quite right and that it would have to be worked on. At that time he said he liked the format, but not the content.
