+1 channels are almost not needed anymore - everyone streams, everyone can record, it really is only for a much older generation, but sadly it is an expensive concept
RTE Radio doesn't need digital channels, lose are a thing of the 2000s, when digital radio was new and fresh - concentrate on Radio 1, 2FM, Lyric, R na G and put new programming from the digital stations into those four stations where needed.
Is the transmission cost on Saorview their rationale for closing the digital radio stations because retiring 5 or 6 hard drives doesn't seem like it would save much money
