Broadcaster’s director general and chair met minister Catherine Martin to discuss future
He indicated he was taking a hands-off approach to identifying Mr Tubridy’s successor in the 9AM slot on RTÉ Radio 1, saying he was leaving it to the radio chiefs at the station.
Asked about the recommendation that RTÉ be funded from general taxation, made last year by the Future of the Media Commission, Mr Bakhurst said it was a “really interesting thing to be explored”. Talks with presenters on pay, one of the touchstone issues when it comes to reforming the broadcasters, have begun, he confirmed, with the reception varying “depending on which presenter you’re talking to”.
“The really important thing is we have a number of reforms we’ve already said we’re going to introduce and I’m determined that we do that. I want to do it as rapidly as possible.” Earlier, Tánaiste Micheál Martin earlier told RTÉ radio’s News at One that the media minister had put the necessary reviews in place and it was now up to RTÉ and the new director general to “get on with it”.
