"The independent television production sector are the unsung people who have suffered from every single belt-tightening exercise at RTÉ," the source said. "But the noises we're getting is they want to outsource more content and that will be part of Bakhurst's new plan."It's good news because the 'shiny floor shows' are concentrated with just a tiny number of production companies.
