- Book Synopsis
- Since it arrived on the airwaves in 1961, RT� has been buffeted in different directions, eventually slipping into a steady decline which accelerated over the past decade into a catastrophe. The 2023 revelations regarding secret payments to star presenter Ryan Tubridy weren't the first time Ireland's national broadcaster has found itself caught up in scandal. Shane Ross, author of #1 bestsellers The Bankers and Mary Lou McDonald, winds back the clock to examine RT�'s history of broadcasting excellence alongside the accusations of corruption, waste and ineptitude it has faced along the way. With clarity and wit, Ross rakes over RT�'s colourful past while also considering what the future might hold for this once beloved institution.
