The drop-off in licence fees is a clear sign that public sentiment towards RTE and their reaction to the controversies last June is continuing
RTE is facing a massive licence fee switch-off, with losses more than tripling in the space of a month as public confidence in the broadcaster continues to slide.
The most up-to-date monthly figures for TV licences from An Post show 75,183 licences were purchased in January, and 61,601 were purchased in February. The former RTE director general’s solicitors informed the Oireachtas Media Committee she is “unfit to be involved in any process” and remains “under active medical care”.
Committee chair Niamh Smyth said she was disappointed that Ms Forbes will not be able to engage with members.
