When you consider how many people are unemployed, 18,600 doesn’t seem much.

Maybe if they changed the studio and pull away from news a bit…watched it yesterday and two sports reporters were having a chat….guess what….”have to stop u there we have ran out if time”….don’t understand this surely for an early morning show u can encourage non scripted conversation….

I rarely watch TV it’s so awful, though met Keelin Shanley briefly and she’s lovely, very unassuming.

Did we get value for money with the digital switchover? Six or eight channels out of a possible 200+. If TV3 stations were not included we got very little back from paying 180 euros for a licence and 70+ for the saorview box itself. Why not have local county stations, Dail and seanad stations even a movie channel, how hard would that be they already have the rights to most movies. Local radio has being a huge success but local television would offer young people a chance to get valuable training in the media something that may provide them with a future. News stations worldwide have a high percentage of Irish journalists covering their stories. Someone could start out on Roscommon television and end up on CNN. If RTE can’t manage this resource then the state should step in sooner rather than later. RTE no longer tells people what to watch or controls the views expressed. If my 180 was spent in this country it would make more sense than buy English programmes that are already available on another station.

I don’t think Ireland AM have anything to worry about !

I’ve given up on RTE news as I don’t even know the rules of rugby.

@Alangb, viewers not give it away for you? View = to watch. You listen to radio and view the TV…clear enough to me!

Wouldn’t waste my time watching that rubbish.

Wouldn’t worry to much about it Niall, I’d say that conor lad is a bit hickey anyway !!!

All the staff at morning edition, A major breakthrough for students and parents in education.Can you visualize what it would mean for this country if all young people were able to focus their attention to the task at hand.Education historically has failed to provide any study skills program for students or parents to better navigate the education system .The good news is anyone can learn good study skills in less than one hour.We provide a visual training aid to guarantee every student reach an understanding to the true meaning of focus their attention. The foundamental aim of the smart vision method is more effective learning outcomes and faster progress I would love to demonstrate this simple method to you to see for yourself how we can help make education more enjoyable for everyone.yours sincerely tonysmartvisionfocus@gmail.com.tel 0862053656.

I think they made a very promising start. Though some of the stories went nowhere (I’m thinking of the job hunting story which told us how one woman was doing broadly the right things, while giving no real advice), the coverage of the Adrian Donohoe story was very good. The newspaper reviews have been pretty good (the bit Keelin told reporters she likes most) and it was nice to see an all female panel two Mondays running. It would be good to see the same programme stay on to take in Leaders Questions and they covered it unexpectedly on the day of Garda Donohoe’s funeral when the Taoiseach moved it forward. Didn’t see the point of David McCullough doing a separate programme for it the other day this week. The standing sports interviews were a bit awkward but that’s a limitation of the studio I think, they just need to schedule the sport away from times Keelin has other guests. All in all a good start and I hope the programme succeeds

well done morning edition…something stimulating in the morning..lots better than some tripe rte throw at us…like presenter too…fresh face and seems to know her stuff…

Not being a listener or viewer of RTE it’s not clear from the article if it is a radio or tv show?
