Welcome to RT\u00c9\u2019s commissioning website<\/strong><\/p>\n

RT\u00c9 works in partnership with independent producers to create many of Ireland’s favourite television programmes.<\/p>\n

As programme-makers, we work together in one of the most competitive broadcasting environments in the world. \u00a0We compete for viewers against some of the world’s largest commercial broadcasters and the world’s best-funded public service broadcaster. \u00a0In recent years, on-demand services have also had an impact on the viewing habits of our audiences.<\/p>\n

Our audiences want to be informed and entertained. \u00a0They want top quality original Irish content. Our schedules are built on this. \u00a0To continue to compete, we need your ideas and production skill to produce the shows that our audiences want to watch.<\/p>\n

We have recently restructured our commissioning division into Groups to better facilitate you in producing quality content for our audiences. \u00a0There are seven Content Groups: Drama and Comedy; Entertainment & Music; Factual; Arts and Culture; Cl\u00e1racha Gaeilge, Sport and Young Peoples Programmes. \u00a0Each Group serves our audience in a different way and you can find out what the requirements of each Group are by reading the commissioning briefs posted above.<\/p>\n

We are now accepting your proposals on a ‘rolling commissioning’ basis. \u00a0You should only pitch proposals that are properly worked up and clearly meet our commissioning briefs. \u00a0We will update the briefs regularly, flagging you if we need more ideas in a certain area, or if new slots have opened up.<\/p>\n

Under this system, most proposals will be rejected quickly, on the basis that a quick no is better than a long drawn out maybe.<\/p>\n

For now, the majority of our focus and commissioned spend remains focused on television, but if you do have a strong digital-only or RT\u00c9 Player idea, please contact the relevant Group Head or Commissioning Editor directly.<\/p>\n

Should you require any assistance with your submissions, please contact either Michelle Kenny or Laura Finnegan in the Independent Productions Unit office on (01) 2082743 and (01) 2083429.<\/p>\n

At heart, across all our programming, we’re looking for ideas that innovate and entertain.<\/p>\n

Best of luck with your proposals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
