Broadsheet (Irish TV series)
- Broadsheet (Irish TV series)
"Broadsheet" was a current affairs programme broadcast on RTÉ during the early 1960s.
The first edition was transmitted on January 1, 1962, less than twenty-four hours after the Republic of Ireland's new television channel was launched. "Broadsheet" aired each evening from Monday to Friday in the 18:35 - 19:15 slot. The programme was edited by P. P. O'Reilly. ["RTÉ Guide", January 5, 1962]
Three of its presenters, John O'Donoghue, Brian Cleeve, and Brian Farrell each went on to play a significant role in the development of current affairs programming on RTÉ during the 1960s and 70s and, in Farrell's case, right through to his retirement from broadcasting in 2003.
Although "Broadsheet" won a prestigious Jacob's Award it did not enjoy a lengthy run and the final edition was broadcast in October 1963.
