When making a complaint, the relevant programme or commercial communication should be identified, including the date of broadcast and time. The complainant should explain what it is about the broadcast that has led them to make a complaint. It is important to set out clearly the grounds of the complaint and why the programme material or commercial content does not comply with the BAI’s Broadcasting Codes. A copy of the codes may be found on the BAI’s website: www.bai.ie, by emailing [email protected] or by phoning the BAI on 01 644 1200. In line with the complaint process, the viewer or listener should direct their complaint to the broadcaster in the first instance and in the manner detailed in the broadcaster’s Code of Practice for Handling Complaints, a document which each broadcaster has available on its website. If a viewer or listener is not satisfied with the response from the broadcaster or if the broadcaster does not respond within the timeframe provided for in their Code of Practice (usually 21 days), then the viewer or listener can refer the complaint to the BAI for consideration. In assessing complaint referrals, the BAI will have regard to the relevant codes and rules, the written material submitted by the relevant parties, together with the broadcast material. Complaints are assessed at Executive level by the Executive Complaints Forum and/or by the Compliance Committee of the Authority. Further information may be found on the complaints handling section of the BAI’s website: www.bai.ie. The details of the broadcasting complaints decisions reached by the BAI are set out in this document. The decisions deal with the issue of whether a programme or a commercial communication did or did not comply with the relevant legal requirements and the relevant broadcasting codes or rules. The decisions do not constitute endorsement or support for the views of either parties to the complaint nor will they address every aspect of a complaint submission. The BAI will not carry out a separate or independent assessment outside of the matters raised in the complaint. In total, 40 complaints have been considered by the BAI. The Compliance Committee has considered 16 of these complaints and one complaint has been upheld in part. The Executive Complaints Forum has considered and rejected 24 complaints. The decisions of the Compliance Committee were reached at its meeting held in July and September 2015. The decisions of the Executive Complaints Forum were reached at meetings held in June, July & August 2015. www.bai.ie 5 Broadcasting Complaint Decisions Upheld in Part by the BAI Compliance Committee Complaint made by: John and Ann Fitzgerald Ref No. 72/15 Station: Programme: Date: Cork 96FM The Opinion Line 3rd February 2015 1.

  • Communicorp Media January 2021 Executive Summary
    Submission to the Future of Media Commission By Communicorp Media January 2021 Executive Summary Communicorp Media reaches 1.75 million weekly listeners and has a significant online, digital, and social audience. Independent Radio has 2.5 million listeners daily, close to double the daily reach of RTÉ Radio. Communicorp Media and Independent Radio have 800,000 more listeners aged Under 45 than RTÉ Radio and are vitally important in reaching a younger audience. 376,000 people listen to Communicorp Media radio stations only. Communicorp Media provides more than 12,000 hours of Public Service Content a year. Public Service Broadcasting is about the content broadcast rather than the ownership of the broadcaster. RTÉ is not the only provider of Public Service Broadcasting. Radio scored a trust rating of 79% in a recent IPSOS MRBI poll. This compares to 29% for Facebook and 34% for Twitter, showing radio’s importance in an era where fake news is prevalent. 70% of daily radio listening is to a non RTÉ service. This shows content on Independent Radio has a distinct public value. Digital now accounts for 54% of all advertising spend in Ireland with Google and Facebook controlling 40% of the market. Radio advertising spend is down nearly 30% in the last ten years. Submission to the Future of Media Commission By Communicorp Media - January 2021 Page 2 The funding of journalism on Irish radio is crucially important and must be supported, otherwise the dominance of global digital players in the advertising market will have an effect on the quality of journalism produced.

This was not always the case. Women in particular were excluded from many areas of public discourse. Reaching back into the 19th century, the distinction between public and private spheres was an ideological one. As men moved out of the home to work and acquired increasing power, the public world inhabited by men became identified with influence and control, the private with moral value and support.

  • 29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian
    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.

  • How Irish Radio Made Strides for Women's Rights
    Salve Regina University Digital Commons @ Salve Regina Pell Scholars and Senior Theses Salve's Dissertations and Theses 5-11-2020 Her Voice on Air: How Irish Radio Made Strides for Women's Rights Emilie R. Hines Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/pell_theses Part of the English Language and Literature Commons, European History Commons, Film and Media Studies Commons, Women's History Commons, and the Women's Studies Commons Her Voice on Air: How Irish Radio Made Strides for Women’s Rights By Emilie Hines Prepared for Dr. Madeleine Esch Department of English, Communications and Media Salve Regina University May 11, 2020 Hines 1 Her Voice on Air: How Irish Radio Made Strides for Women’s Rights ABSTRACT: Radio is the voice of the people; this is no less true in Ireland, a nation that prefers talk radio and phone-ins. These formats were popular from 1970-2000, formative years for the feminist movement. Scholarship suggests a correlation between radio and women’s issues in Ireland but does not answer what elements create this. Here, I analyze 10 archival radio clips from Ireland’s national public service broadcaster, RTÉ, looking at how women’s issues are framed. After analyzing these clips, I found that Irish identity embedded in the shows allows for the discussion of controversial ideas. Radio promotes an inclusive environment, by dispelling shame and encouraging political conversation among women. This allows women to hear and be heard, creating a space for equal representation. Introduction As I was sitting on a bus from Dublin airport back to my apartment in Cork City, I heard a late-night radio show playing on the bus speakers.
