RTÉ News: Six One
Encyclopedia
RTÉ News: Six One is the evening news programme broadcast each night on Irish television channel RTÉ One
. The programme runs on weekdays from 18:01 until 19:00 and at weekends, when it is styled as Six One News and Sport, from 18:01 until 18:30.
Six One is the only dual-anchored news progamme on RTÉ Television. It is currently presented on weekdays by Bryan Dobson
and Sharon Ní Bheoláin
, and at weekends by a series of different presenters including Aengus Mac Grianna, Una O'Hagan, Siún Nic Gearailt
and Eileen Whelan
.
at 6:01 PM on 1 January 1962, the first day of full programming for the new television station. The programme, simply entitled News, lasted for ten minutes. It featured brief accounts of the main news events of the day and accompanying images, as well as sports news and a weather forecast. Charles Mitchel
read the first bulletin and remained the station's chief newsreader until his retirement in 1984. He was joined in the newsroom by Maurice O'Doherty
in 1966.
By the end of the first year of broadcasting the News was moved to 5:50 PM but the format remained the same. This early evening news programme was followed by Broadsheet
, a weekday programme that discussed topical matters and current affairs in more detail.
In September 1964 the early evening News and Broadsheet shows were merged to form a new single programme called Newsbeat
. This programme was broadcast daily at 6:05 PM for forty minutes. It provided the main news stories of the day while also providing a more in depth analysis and discussion of topical issues as well as interviews. Newsbeat was quickly reduced to thirty minutes but remained in an early evening slot shortly after 6:00 PM. By 1967 it was split into two separate back-to-back news programmes, News and Newsbeat, with the former providing ten minutes of news headlines.
Newsbeat was broadcast for the final time in 1971 while News returned to its original 6:01 PM slot, however, it was now reduced to just five minutes of headlines. This new shortened edition lasted until October 1972 when the early evening News and Sport moved to 6:15 PM and was extended to fifteen minutes. Over the next few years the early evening news changed time slots on a number of occasions to suit other programming.
In 1975 News was extended to twenty minutes, but quickly returned to fifteen minutes, to allow for a special segment for news for the deaf, however, it still maintained a fluctuating time slot for the rest of the decade.
In the early 1980s the early evening news was rebranded as Newstime. It returned to the 6:01 PM time slot and was extended to a 25-40 minute programme. News for the deaf remained while a new feature called "Countryside" was also included. The programme retained this format whereby the national and international news stories would be followed by more regional news items.
In 1987 Newstime became a programme in its own right whereas News moved to 5:45 PM and lasted for fifteen minutes.
were the first co-presenters.
Two years later RTÉ's entire television news service was relaunched, however, Six One remained at the heart of the schedule. Eileen Dunne moved to other positions in the news service and was replaced by Anne Doyle
as co-presenter with Duignan.
Six One established its own place in political history when the expected winner of the 1990 presidential election
campaign, Tánaiste
Brian Lenihan delivered what was universally accepted to be a disastrous live response to a crisis in his campaign. Seeking to deny that he had ever been part of unsuccessful efforts to force President Hillery
to refuse a parliamentary dissolution in a way that would help Lenihan's party get back into power (claims he himself had made in an on-the-record taped interview recorded some months earlier), Lenihan tried to stare into the camera and told viewers that "on mature recollection" his earlier version was wrong and that he had made no phone calls to the presidential residence to put pressure on the President. The appearance on Six One effectively ended Lenihan's presidential campaign.
The programme also destroyed the political career of then Foreign Minister Gerry Collins. On 7 November 1991, in response to a leadership struggle in his party, an overly emotional, tearful Collins pleaded with the man challenging for the leadership, Albert Reynolds
, not to "wreck our party right down the centre" and "burst up government". Collins's own chances of leadership were perceived to have been destroyed by his overly-emotional performance on the live bulletin.
In 1992 Duignan left his position as presenter to become government press secretary under Alert Reynolds. Éamonn Lawlor was appointed as his successor. Shortly after Lawlor's arrival the news titles were revamped, however, the format of the programme remained the same.
A year-and-a-half after BBC News
introduced virtual reality graphics to its television news output, RTÉ News adopted a similar concept for the relaunch of its television service. The new look aired from September 1994. The launch of the new RTÉ corporate logo, and a new emphasis on corporate branding, necessitated an update to the RTÉ News title sequence in September 1995.
In 1996 Lawlor left Six One to become co-presenter of the current affairs programme Prime Time
. His replacement was Bryan Dobson
, who had been presenting the One O'Clock News
for several years. As of 2010 he remains the leading male presenter. A year later Anne Doyle
left to become presenter of the Nine O'Clock News
. She was replaced by Una O'Hagan.
RTÉ News bulletins on both RTÉ One
and N2 got a new look on 1 September 2003. Work on the new look began in May 2003 and involved a complete re-design of the entire news bulletin, including the opening animation, logo, set, music and graphic content. An increased emphasis on RTÉ branding was also evident as the programme was now known as RTÉ News: Six One. Shortly after this latest revamp Úna O'Hagan left as co-presenter to concentrate on radio broadcasting and late night news bulletins. A number of newsreaders partnered Bryan Dobson before Sharon Ní Bheoláin
became the permanent co-presenter in 2005.
In August 2006 RTÉ News introduced a new look to its television news output. Once again new opening animation, logo, set, music and graphic content were introduced. All television news programming at the station also switched to widescreen
on the same day.
In February 2009 RTÉ spent €1.3m on a fresh look for its news bulletins. €500,000 of that budget was spent on doubling the size of the studio from eight square metres by demolishing the adjoining control room. A new moving camera on a track which runs around the entire studio was also installed. The 3D feature of the background screens offered increased depth, particularly in studio situations and means each programme can have a different look.
. The opening titles feature a brief description of the main headlines. The opening segment usually features Bryan Dobson introducing the main story of the day from the news wall. The other main stories of the day follow this.
After the first commercial break there is typically an interview with a person connected with the main news story. This interview often takes place in studio. This is followed by shorter, more off-beat, or regional reports. The final part of the programme includes a sports summary (with a separate presenter) and a business news round-up.
At weekends the programme is styled as RTÉ News: Six One News and Sport and lasts for half-an-hour. The programme features a single presenter and greater emphasis is given to sports news.
During the summer months, RTÉ News: Six One is usually contracted to a half-hour news bulletin for the month of August.
, a Catholic prayer, at 12:00pm and 6:00pm. Though periodic calls have been made for its removal, a number of religious faiths outside Catholicism notably the Church of Ireland
, have called for its continuation, regarding the minute as offering a chance for reflection amid a busy television schedule. (The broadcast no longer carries Catholic imagery, and instead focuses on images of people contemplating.) Because of this, the radio and television news bulletins start at 6:01pm, hence the name.
Some broadcasters at RTÉ privately welcome the delayed start time in the belief that it gives viewers a chance to catch the headlines on BBC One
, UTV
or Sky News
before switching over to catch the start of Six One.
Some critics have mounted a campaign to abolish the Angelus on RTÉ, mostly in the Letters' pages of the Irish Times, though this is despite the fact that the Angelus at 6:00pm is one of RTÉ's most popular television programmes and is Ireland's most watched religious programme, with an average of 318,000 viewers every day. It is unclear whether RTÉ
would move its bulletin back one minute to 6:00pm as that would mean that the newscast would be in direct competition to get viewers at exactly the same time as other stations.
