RTÉ pledges to beef up TV programming

RTÉ Television chief Noel Curran promised yesterday the national broadcaster will continue to beef up its summer programming.

“In recent years RTÉ Television has significantly increased our investment in quality home-produced programming over the summer period,” he said. “This trend will continue for summer 2007.”

This summer’s offerings see Saturday Night with Miriam (O’Callaghan) coming live from Studio 4 for the duration of its run.
