Fresh faces line out for RTÉ

RTÉ chiefs have unveiled a new season of programmes which they claim will entertain, inform and involve audiences.

The Afternoon Show is gone from the schedule following allegations of bullying and rows among its presenters, to be replaced by a lifestyle programme presented by Maura Derrane, wife of Fine Gael TD John Deasy, called 4 Daily.

This show will be followed each day by a more news-driven programme called 4.50 Live presented by Claire Byrne and Daithí Ó Sé.
