RTÉ unveils highlights to woo festive viewers

A SPECIAL documentary on late 2FM broadcaster Gerry Ryan will be among the highlights of Christmas TV on RTÉ.

The national broadcaster has unveiled its programme highlights for the festive season with the traditional promise of providing a “cracking schedule” to lure TV viewers away from their presents of box sets.

Telly fans might be sick and tired of sitting in front of their sets during this cold snap but RTÉ will be hoping they’ll switch back on in time for Christmas with a range of brand new, home-produced programmes including, Gerry — a specially commissioned documentary on the eventful life and career of the legendary broadcaster whose death last April shocked the nation.
