I think it may be unfair to say this company is affiliated to RTE. From the shoppingathome.ie website;
About Us
Shopping from Home was first broadcast on RTE One on February 1st 2010 and is the only Irish home shopping TV series. It was developed by Kathy Hoffman who is the Series Producer and Presenter. The Series is produced by SFH Media Services Limited using state-of-the-art technology, post-production expertise and facilities providing bespoke TV for all firms participating. TV Shopping is a new and ever growing method of shopping in Ireland and we are very proud to be the 1st to bring it to Irish national television.
The producer says;
Kathy Hoffman says "In these tough economic times, offering quality products and exceptional value for money is extremely important to every household in Ireland. And as many of these products are from successful Irish businesses it means we're helping to keep the Irish flag flying".
Personally as a stakeholder (licence payer and tax payer) in RTE I think its grossly misleading of this company to use the letters RTE or RTE1 in their twitter and Facebook addresses/pages. Totally wrong!
Definately one for Joe Duffy/Eddie Hobbs and the RTE legal people!
