ALL FTA now, come on RTÉ join up. Thats a lot of spill over!

FREE FREE SET THEM FREE

our petition passes the 300 mark.

sign the online petition here

analogue switch off is looming, free to air public service TV is a right, I don’t see why we have to pay sky high prices to see our national tv broadcaster. Ask your election candidates on the hustings why RTE is not FTA.

we have added a badge for you to place on your site. (see our side bar ->)

the code for the badge is here http://www.rte2fta.com/code.html

many thanks to those that have supported us as we push past 100 signatures.

thanks to all who are signing the petition and to those who linked us… its time to spread the word.

press pack delayed another day,  but we are i am committed to keeping my eye on, and not dropping the RTE2FTA ball what ever shape its in!.

I am working on a press pack for local media on the subject of RTÉ FTA. I expect it to be ready by Monday. If you have time to help I hope to collaborate via google docs, then email me at brian at this domain .com

if you are seeking interviews for radio / podcast on this issue email at the same address. Also I hope to have webpage / blog buttons to drive traffic to the petition by mid week, thanks everyone for your support so far.

Someone has asked for a list of questions to ask candidates for the ever nearing election, while this subject should not be on the top of your list (there are more disturbing inequalities in our little rich country, see my list here) I would ask them this.

Why is RTE encrypted on Sky?

What is your party committed to do, with regards to equal access to digital television ?

Can you put that in writing?

I have set up a petition online with regards to the FTA transmissions of RTÉ.
