RTÉ has said that there will be no impact on editorial content after a state agency took over the sponsorship of a flagship radio show.
The further education and training board, Solas, recently took over the sponsorship of the
programme on a four-month basis. While a spokesperson for Solas said that the deal was commercially sensitive, previous reports have said that RTÉ had been seeking €350,000 a year for the slot.
