We cover Entertainment, Factual Entertainment and Music. We look for content that can bring the nation together through uplifting, heart-warming, pleasurable shows that also capture something of contemporary Ireland. From quiz to dancing, from chat to dating, from challenge to game play, via event and songbook, this is the home of content we know our audience relish.
We seek trusted entertainment and events of scale that can reach and unite audiences, delivering the ‘expected’ and ‘valued’ but in the most unexpected and authentic way, right across platforms. Examples of content doing just that for both us and other broadcasters are: Dancing With The Stars, Traitors, The Late Late Toy Show, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, The 1% Club and more.
We also seek formats which reflect positive and uplifting journeys (Race Across The World, Ireland’s Fittest Family, Bake Off, Queer Eye) or which celebrate mischief and diversity (The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In, Gogglebox, First Dates, Drag Race) or which impart information in unexpected and unpredictable ways, embracing challenge be that physical, emotional or professional (Dragon’s Den, Hell week, Skyscraper live)
Finally, we will always seek music and events tied to national moments or resonant events (The Fleadh, New Year, Electric Picnic)
Watch this space for specific slot tenders, but we are always open to great ideas, particularly where they are relevant to succession planning.
Our team love to build shows with our partners in the indie sector, and we look forward to working with you.
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system Login | RTE (rtegroup.ie) under the programme category Entertainment and Music General
