Talk:RTÉ Ireland

UPC

Garda40 - the UPC that held the stake in Tara Television is NOT UPC Ireland. At the time Tara Television existed, the company that is now UPC Communications Ireland Limited - the company generally known as Chorus NTL and soon presumably to be known as UPC Ireland - was NTL Communications (Ireland) Limited, a subsidary of NTL Incorporated and had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Tara Television.

The firm that held the stake in Tara Television was United Pan-Europe Communications N.V., now UPC Netherlands. While it and UPC Ireland are now under common ownership, UPC Ireland has not and never had anything to do with Tara Television. It didn't exist to have anything to do with Tara Television at the time it existed and only came under common ownership with UPC Netherlands in 2005 - a whole 3 years after Tara closed.

I never said it was .What I objected to was a name being used in the article , instead of the name it is/was commonly known by , that most would not have heard of and is not used in most news reports of the time .Garda40 (talk) 19:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Redundant

When did the department-of-redundancy-department change the name of this article to "RTÉ Ireland"? That's like writing "British BBC". Was this a change made by Wikipedia editors or do this nonsense go all the way to RTE itself? (They aren't the only ones UCD got so tired of Americans thinking they meant UC Davis they rebranded as UCD Dublin, and "AIB Bank" have been doing it for even longer.) It would not surprised me if this "mistake" came from them, but Wikipedia does not necessarily need to repeat it. -- 109.77.211.177 (talk) 16:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
