Republic of Telly rumoured to be the next RTÉ show facing the AXE
As RTÉ deals with the controversy among it's cost-cuts, Republic of Telly looks to be the next show to face getting cancelled.
A spokesperson previously revealed that the station will be outsourcing all of its children's programmes, but now insiders are insisting that that last episode of ROT, which aired this week, could indeed be its last.
The source told the Irish Sun: “It’s easier to axe a show like Republic of Telly because many of the people working on it are freelance writers and actors.
“Shows made largely by freelancers are much easier to cut than those made by staff. Freelancers don’t need to be paid redundancy either."
This comes after rumours were cleared that Fair City would be axed, so we'll have to wait to see what happens with this one.
