RTÉ launches catch-up TV service
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A new catch-up web TV service has been launched on RTÉ.ie. The RTÉ
player
gives Irish broadband users the opportunity to watch their favourite RTÉ
television programmes for up to 21 days after broadcast. It was
developed
with a view to delivering a new and improved service to reflect audience
needs and to offer viewers more choice in how they watch programmes.
More than 200 hours of programmes from all categories of the RTÉ broadcast
schedule are available to view. News and sports fans can watch all RTÉ's
news and current affairs output and get free access to RTÉ's top sports
shows including The Sunday Game, Monday Night Soccer and OB Sport. The
player is a beta release - it is the first version released outside the
organisation that developed the software, for the purpose of evaluation
and
testing. Commenting on the launch, Executive Director of RTÉ
Publishing
Múirne Laffan said: 'This is an exciting new opportunity for Irish viewers
to access their favourit
e programmes whenever they want. 'RTÉ player will enhance our service to
existing and new RTÉ audiences, extending the availability of our
programmes
and addressing the challenge to consumers' viewing habits beyond
traditional
appointment to view. 'This is a significant enhancement to the consumer
experience offered on RTÉ.ie and we expect a subsequent growth in usage
and
traffic, which will in turn offer commercial advertisers opportunities to
reach audiences in new ways,' she added. RTÉ.ie has an average of 55m
page
impressions per month and 2.3m unique users.
