Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Funding the Broadcasting Sector: Discussion with Independent Broadcasters of Ireland
10:20 am
Mr. John Purcell:
There is a range of questions and I will endeavour to address them. Deputy Harrington mentioned the competition between print and local radio media. I do not accept there is duplication. With the announcement of bereavements, for example, there are stations doing it on a daily basis, with most local newspapers published on a weekly basis. A person may miss many funerals if he or she relied on the newspaper.
