Even though RTE is 24 hours nowadays, surely they could play the National anthem daily. It is our National station after all and we're paying a licence fee....well most of us are.
It's always difficult to know what to do with the National Anthem in 24 hour broadcasting. In the UK, ours left television in 1997, only being heard once a day on Radio 4 since. I'm not sure what is done overnight in Ireland, but one of our two main channels usually simulcasts the news channel overnight. If BBC1 played the National Anthem before doing so, it would probably satisfy those who wish it had remained. RTE1 could likewise have a "change of day" time marked with the National Anthem. Quite interesting that the test card music was announced on this clip.
RTÉ should broadcast the anthem at next to midnight every night and then they can resume broadcasting through the night. I always enjoyed standing up from my seat while watching the anthem every night. RTE destroyed my joy of being an Irishman by stopping broadcasting the anthem.
RTE Radio 1 should do what BBC Radio 4 does in a certain way, in the case of Radio 4, they close down but they go onto the BBC World Service straight after the anthem. Why can't RTE Radio 1 broadcast the National Anthem before their overnight service of highlights of the previous days programmes begin at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. Also, on RTE 1, why can't they have the national anthem before going over to Euronews at 5am or when they go over to them.
This closedown sticks in my mind as it was on this day that my father past away. Weird watching this knowing what was happening in my life that night in 1995.
Continuity on this closedown is by Noel Fogarty, whose voice can be heard on radio stations through Ireland these days, as he is one of the main newscasters for bulletins on the member stations of the IBI -Independent Broadcasters of Ireland.
@Vaughn Matthew Tech RTE used a different film in 1961, and I would think they switched to this film after 1968. (Corrective edit: they switched to this film sometime in 1966)
3:17 Sinne Fianna Fáil, atá faoil gheall ag Éirinn, Buíon dár slua thar toinn do ráinig chugainn, Faoi mhóid bheith saor Seantír ár sinsear feasta, Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill. Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil, Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil, Le gunna-scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar, Seo libh canaig' amhrán na bhFiann.
TV3 was launched on September 17, 1998. RTE showed Coronation Street until 2001, when ITV purchased TV3 and as part of the deal, TV3 showed Corrie and Emmerdale and other ITV shows.
Coronation Street was first shown on Irish television on Monday 6th November 1978 on RTE 2 which only began full time broadcasting a few days earlier (Nov 2nd). They began by showing episodes from about 2 years previous on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 1978 to about 1981. Then in 1981, it was changed around a bit. From 1982 to August 1983, RTE 2 showed Coronation Street every weekday (Monday to Friday) to catch up with the British transmission of the programme on ITV. From August 1983, Coronation Street was shown on RTE 2 at the exact same time as the broadcast on ITV (Mondays and Wednesdays at 7.30pm), although there was the odd time it may have been shown at a later time if there was a football match on or something, especially from 1988 on when RTE 2 was renamed Network 2. In 1989, Coronation Street began the Friday programme also, and Network 2 showed this programme at the same time as ITV also. In about 1995, Coronation Street transferred to RTE 1 at the same times as Network 2 and ITV previously. It stayed on RTE 1 until 2001, when TV3 (which opened in 1998) took Coronation Street instead, probably due to Granada Television having shares or something in TV3 at the time. Emmerdale Farm was also transferred to TV3 around this time (Emmerdale Farm was first shown (I think full time) from October 1983 on RTE 1 as part of their new daytime lineup at the time) Technically, Ireland were receiving Coronation Street since it started broadcasting in December 1960 via Ulster Television from Northern Ireland or TWW (later HTV Wales) from Wales.
@@johnking5174 Yeah, from what I gathered, Outlook was a Catholic program that ran in the late 60s in Ireland. I'm thinking it might have gone off the air by the 90s.
From about the early 1990s, when RTE 1 and Network 2 closed down for the night, they would broadcast RTE Radio 1 (on RTE 1) and 2FM (on Network 2) over the testcard. Until about 1996 though, RTE Radio 1 would still close down for the night, while 2FM were broadcasting 24 hours a day since the late 1980s
RTE (and TV3 also) seems to be a depressant machine, trying to make everyone in Ireland depressed out of their minds. The governments propaganda machines
Bring back the Anthem and instill a healthy form of nationalism. Bring back Prayer Time Before Bedtime. All what we need in this failing secularist materialistic Irish society. Why do I have to compromise my culture in my own country?
+spewqueen Might have been The Bodyguard (1992). I half think killianM2's video on RTE 1 having a technical fault during that movie was filmed on Tuesday, November 14th, 1995 (this was filmed on the early hours of the next morning). Really unsure. Could well be, though.
VTM on YT - Official Channel RTE 1 was received throughout the British Isles, so they had to speak English so that the folks in the UK could understand.
@@johnking5174 Although RTE television was not officially received in Britain, there were a few places, mainly along the Welsh coast and down in Cornwall that could receive both channels, although most of the time, very poorly. Back in 1987, a couple from near Penzance in Cornwall wrote the Points of View equivalent on RTE 'Mailbag' and told them that they could not receive the BBC or IBA channels, but could receive RTE 1 and 2. There is a video taken from 1984 (although the video says 1983) of RTE's equivalent of the IBA's Engineering Announcements which was called a Technical Information Broadcast which was shown at 11am on a Tuesday morning. This was received by someone from the North West of England, and the picture was not bad. I think it depends on what aerials you have and what terrain is in the way between you and the transmitter.
@@anothercomment Correct, but I believe RTE stopped playing the Irish national anthem by '96 or earlier. I've seen other videos like this from 1994 and 1995 with this extremely beautiful montage.

In Eastern Europe, including the former USSR, it is common for the anthem to be played on public television at 6 a.m.

Woh woh woh. Coronation street used to be on RTE? :O

+Alan Shannon Yep, 1998.

Very reminiscent of some of Colin Weston's.sign offs for Granada and Tyne Tees. Nice, friendly and cosy.
rte national anthem
Kilkenny Castle Grounds are featured in the Prayer at Bedtime segment.
What kind of programme was Market Place. It sounds like a farming programme.
Just curious, does anyone know where I can find old episodes of Outlook?
What is Outlook? It is not mentioned here.
@@johnking5174 Yeah, from what I gathered, Outlook was a Catholic program that ran in the late 60s in Ireland. I'm thinking it might have gone off the air by the 90s.
3:20 And now the National Anthem
All television networks should close down no later than 3am with a test card/ instead of these pathetic shopping channels.
What was that audio over the test card?
iamkieranm Might be Radio 1.
RTE Radio 1 transmission at the time which I think is Late Date with Val Joyce

Nope, it was on UTV.
Bring back the Anthem and instill a healthy form of nationalism.

Because the international socialists have taken over most of western Europe.
Instill the nationalism but let us forget our overly religious past. We don't need a god, we're Irish.
they would've did the national anthem while the idents were playing just like bbc one.
