Nationwide (television)
Encyclopedia
Nationwide is an Irish
television programme broadcast on RTÉ One
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening at 19:00, around 35 minutes long. It is currently presented by Michael Ryan
and Mary Kennedy
. The programme focuses on human interest stories and cultural events across the island of Ireland
, generally but not solely outside of Dublin. The show is produced by RTÉ Cork.
It, along with Capital D
, a programme featuring Dublin, serves a similar purpose to the occasional RTÉ attempts to regionalise news and human interest content in the past , albeit without the increased technology and transmission costs, which would likely require total re-engineering of the country's transmission and cable television networks. Nationwide itself was the sole programme regionalised in recent times , but this has now ceased.
