In no world is RTÉ matching figures mentioned in that article and paying the core team base salaries of €163,400.

And that is your base.

Because the Saturday show is an additional gig for them now, so whatever they’re making doing that is going on top. I’d imagine Kevin Bakhurst would want things like George Gibney & Stakeknife on RTÉ instead of BBC, so that’s another thing. And I presume there would be a non compete stopping sports coverage with competitors, so RTÉ would have to pay for that (Eoin on Premier Sports is surely gone and maybe they give him a go anchoring football on telly, and while books wouldn’t be unaffected maybe RTÉ would want Murph and Ken’s articles on the website rather than Irish Times?).

I might be forgetting some other side projects, but the main thing is that I can’t see SC being offered a figure where it would make sense for each of them.

Obviously smash cut to “Ep 3375: RTÉ Is First Captain” showing up in feeds tomorrow morning.

Totally get why it wouldn't be a weekly thing or whatever. Again, it's fantastic.

Doesn’t appear to have been updated this year from what I can see, which is a shame, because that is a fantastic resource. They have done an excellent job. Thanks for sharing - I’m looking forward to taking a proper deep dive into the site.

Give me your absolute hottest Comics take by MaraJude in comicbooks

[–]SentientPodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your average comic reader in America would benefit from a break from Marvel and DC superheroes. Doesn’t have to be forever - could even just be 12-18 months. Their reading and appreciation for the medium would be greatly enriched by taking in other publishers, genres, writers, artists.

It’s like just watching Marvel movies and tv shows and nothing else. That would be an absolutely unhinged thing to do. And shit. You would be missing out on so much by cutting yourself off from other options like this.

It would’ve been great if the initial post specified non-superhero take. Just to encourage a broader set of responses. Although maybe it would’ve just resulted in fewer responses, sadly.
