Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Mr. Paul Mulligan:
Yes, within the regulations, RTE is permitted on television to have 10% of its broadcast time as advertising. Commercial channels are allowed 20% and so that averages out at six minutes in the hour, as opposed to 12 minutes in the hour. On RTE radio, RTE is permitted to have 7.5% of its time in advertising, whereas local and commercial radio is allowed 15%. Therefore, it is half.
