This comes amid rising concerns over declining viewership, with one in five households in Ireland no longer owning a television. The piece highlights the financial pressures facing RTÉ and suggests potential implications for public broadcasting services.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information regarding RTÉ's financial situation and public viewing habits without overtly favoring any particular political stance. It does not take sides on the broader debate around public funding for broadcasters or the role of television in society.
