RTE were well known for their very limited broadcasting hours on television. By the 1980s, RTE One would start around 2.30pm most weekdays. Weekends they did start in the mornings around 9.30am. It would not be until October 1989 before they launched a lunchtime news at 1.00pm, with programming starting at 12.30pm. Weekday morning programmes gradually started around 1992 onward.
It seems with TV Classics Ireland the uploader just thinks of a year out of the air and types it into the description with no research what so ever. All of the dates of these clips are nearly all wrong.
The music behind RTE's clock is also that used by Channel Television (ITV) as part of its start-up routine for many years in the 1980s.
Thank you for this of course!!
Peter Collins in pre sport days !
That’s definitely not 1990 because I remember The Den switching to Network 2 in 1988.
It's from (1987-1988) rather then 1990.
Did RTE only start showing programmes in the afternoon back in the 80s?

I don’t think that’s from 1990 because I remember I think it ‘s from 1987.

I can't agree more with you people need to do their research rather then jump to conclusions and it's from the late 1980s rather then 1990.
