Letters to the Editor: TV licence payers and viewers want real reform at RTÉ

One reader queries RTÉ's 'new direction', while others consider issues including racism, energy prices, and the risk of bird flu 

According to one reader, most public ire about the RTÉ saga was directed at former director general Dee Forbes and her executives rather than at Ryan Tubridy. Picture: Niall Carson/PA

You pose the question “How many people do you know who say that they “never” watch TV?” (Irish Examiner Editorial, January 15).

I can say over the last number of years, even from a telly addict’s point of view, many are not watching television. Yes, the definition of TV needs to be expanded, but I can also safely say that it is only out of interest in the media that I ever venture over to the RTÉ Player, usually just to look at credits for dramas that RTÉ have seemingly co-produced.
