Why did RTE abandon news on RTE 2?
RTE 2 always seemed from my reading to offer an alternative to the usually very dull, boring and tedious presentation on RTE 1.
Going back to the launch of RTE 2 in 1978, they had a late night news show called Newsnight, a fast paced, 20 minute late night news digest around 11pm, they could easily bring that back along with shorter updates in the evening.
Yes, I think the RTE News Channel needs to close down, as it is simply just simulcasting RTE 1 news programmes or content from RTE Radio 1 and RTE 1 current affairs - what a waste of time and money.
