RTÉ spends 90% of budget on homegrown content

RTÉ Director-General Dee Forbes said RTÉ does not have 'adequate revenues' to deliver against its public service remit.

RTÉ spent €238 million of its programming budget, or just over 90%, on homegrown content in 2019, with €23.4 million expended on international programming.

The broadcaster said that €235.1 million was spent on both in-house and commissioned content, and €3.3 million on programme acquisitions within Ireland.
