Television
When it comes to the top programmes on Irish television RTE one always
come out on top in terms of viewer ship ever years. This due to the fact that
RTE 1 having all the talk shows and news coverage. Also any new dramas made by
rte are place on rte one because of the viewer ship. Unfortunately only two
shows that made the list that where actually home produced. They are the Mrs
Brown boys with the Christmas special and the final episode of the current
series of love/hate.
The Late Late Toy Show and the stand alone
late late toy show which is the only time the show draws a universal audience
of both adult and children in making it the most watched show on Irish
television this year bring in I.5 million viewers. The highest view of the
regular late late shows is the Eurovision episode.
This was a big year for
Ireland and for Irish broadcasting. As live broadcasting the visit of both the
queen of English and the president of American saw huge ratings for RTE one. As
the queens visit was a historic moments that will be forever remembers in Irish
history. And the American president’s visit was just Ireland trying to keep their
main source of jobs happy and the president promotion his own public image back
in American.
And then there was Eurovision
song contest which normally doesn’t draw in that big of an audience but it was
the first time in five years. This was due to Ireland sending an act that was
very popular with the young teenage demography. It was also a very important
year in terms of politic as there was the president election so as citizen
people coming together via media to get information, shared idea and be
involved in debates. So many of the programmes that made the top 20 where in
fact either debates or the live results. Even with the Irish television and
radio act of 1988 and the TWF directive which was set up so no counties could
have a monopoly and reduce state intervention to support the public sphere.
(The television without borders frontier) a large portion of television media
came from Ireland its self last year.

Film
When it comes to film Ireland
produce very few movies. Ireland cinema viewing is dominated by American and
British releases. Out of the top 20 highest grosses movies in the Irish
box-office only one was Irish made. That movie was the guard and it came in a
numbers three in the box-office chart. Almost all the other movie where
blockbuster release in the summer session. Some using the new gimmick of 3D to
draw in a big crowd. Only the guard and the king speech both film have a kind
historic attachment with the Irish identity. The guard show a romantic view
point of the rural Ireland. And the king speech being historic ground film in
British history that Irish audience seen to find fascination. Even though only
one of the movies in the top ten is Irish. There are three movies on this list
that had taken advantage of the film boards tax incentives the S481.
