RTÉ abusing its market position, claims TV3 boss

TV3 is to make an official complaint against RTÉ, accusing the national broadcaster of abusing its market position.

TV3 managing director Rick Hetherington said yesterday that the station is formalising a complaint to the competition authorities accusing RTÉ of overselling its advertising airtime by up to 6 million.

According to Mr Hetherington, the revenue lost by his station as a result of the overselling was the difference between breaking even or making a loss.
