‘Impossible’ for RTÉ to plan ahead due to TV licence fee uncertainty, committee told via IrishTimesBiz

It says that reform is “both necessary and urgent”, that “only Government can fix the system”, and the current licence fee system “is losing in excess of €65 million per year and it’s continuing to get worse”.

“Many of these investments are multiannual in nature, but it is impossible for us to plan with so much uncertainty around over 50 per cent of our income.” Its submission suggests this model could work in Ireland. “The creation of a single digital platform to deliver indigenous public service media across all new platforms, and which is technically robust and aligned with future technological developments... is the only path forward.”
