Ms Niamh O'Connor:

I agree with the Deputy. Radio 1 would argue it features a lot of country music within its wider music shows, but we do not have a specific radio series on country music and I agree with the Deputy it would do very well and there is an appetite for it. We bring it to the biggest shows we have. We do a country night on "Dancing with the Stars" and on "The Late Late Show" and we get huge audiences for that. I think the strategy around it was we would bring it to the biggest shows we have and place it there. I agree with the Deputy we could do more, especially on radio, and specifically on country music shows. I will talk to the radio team when I go back, but what they will say to me is they play loads of country music in all their music shows. The Deputy has a point about a show just for country music.
