Last Saturday the "9 O'Clock" News began at 17 minutes past 9. What a ridiculous time to start a programme.

That's the way it's scheduled on Saturdays so that Lottery show can go on. It's not called the 9 O'Clock News on Saturdays, Just RTÉ News. I think it's scheduled around 9.20 or 9.25. Depends on what's on thet night.

More ridiculous is what must be now a running gag, Anne Doyle's telling us of the exact time RTÉ News on 2 will be on later. Never mind what time its scheduled, if its scheduled for 11:05 she'll tell us its starting at three minutes past eleven...

And either way it's whenever RTE decide it's three minutes past eleven (allow 20 mins). They used to sinchronise the times of the news bulletins but the clock they had from 1995 was constantly appearing with the wrong time on it and sometimes the hands drifted around the screen

Maybe just RTE has to start using a digital clock without hands
But reagarding them... who knows what kind of problem they could have with a digital one

They should just do what Sky News Ireland have done since Sky News dropped their idents (The digital clock with seconds). I'm almost positive that that's pre-recored, ie they have one ident that goes up to 6.30pm and another that goes to 10pm. It's kind of obvious because every night the clock starts at 18h30/22h00 and goes on for about 4 seconds before the show starts - unlike Sky News from London where the time animates onto the screen and the screen goes white one second before the top of the hour.
RTE could just get a still of an RTE1 ident with a clock (pre recorded) on it - going up to start of programmes (07h00 i think), 13h00, 18h01, 21h00 etc. Timing wouldn't have to be great - they could just fade it in when it fits as long as the times are sinchronised.

I bet Anthony Murnane quit/took a while off. It was Vivienne Treanor for most of last week and Siun, Eileen Whelan and someone else have done it this week too.
