The RTÉ chairperson also made a thinly-veiled criticism of Government promises to reform what she described as “the broken TV licence collection system which more than any other factor threatens RTÉ’s role and future sustainability.” File photo: Mark Stedman/RollingNews.ie
RTÉ will face “a material uncertainty” about its capacity to provide its current level of services in the medium-term unless its broken funding model is addressed “quickly and definitively”, according to RTÉ chairperson, Moya Doherty.
The warning by the head of the RTÉ board is contained in the station’s just-published annual report.
