‘If RTÉ moves away from its DNA’

Programme rights

The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – Una Mullally writes (“If RTÉ moves away from its DNA, what is it any more?,” Opinion & Analysis, July 1st) that if commissioned from an independent producer, Fair City would be at risk should that producer “decide one day to pull the plug”.

Like any broadcaster, RTÉ would retain the programme rights and, if one producer no longer wished to make it, would simply commission another. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – On Monday July 1st, your listings page informed us that RTÉ 1 broadcast 30 programmes, 14 of which were repeats.

One such programme was Room to Improve. Quite. – Yours, etc,
