New ‘Today’ looks a lot like yesterday

For an organisation supposedly in dire financial trouble, RTÉ seems to have a surprisingly small workforce.

That at least would be the suggestion after the first day of the broadcaster’s “new” midday chat show, Today.

The programme is led by four presenters, three of whom — Dáithí Ó Sé, Maura Derrane and Blaithnaid Ní Chofaigh — have already hosted almost identical shows.
