Kielty-owned TV company to replace Open House

A COMPANY co-owned by comedian Patrick Kielty has won the contract to replace RTÉ’s popular afternoon TV show, Open House.

The Belfast-based Green Inc Film and Television Ltd will produce a new show to be broadcast in the afternoons on RTÉ One from October next until April 2005.

RTÉ said the format and presenters would be announced “at a later date”. It is thought, however, that Kielty will not be one of the presenters.
