You're a Spa
RTÉ has denied that it is planning to scrap the reality TV show You're a Star, which has been used to select recent Eurovision entries.
There had been speculation that the show would be abandoned following the failure of past winners to achieve success at the Europe-wide song contest.
However, speaking before the Oireachtas communications committee today, RTÉ's director of television, Noel Curran, said he did not want the show to be scrapped.
However, he did say that You're A Star may not be linked to the Eurovision in future years.
"No decision has been made, but we will be looking hard at that over the coming weeks," he said.
It's all money, money, money. Shame on you RTE! You disgrace our nation just to fill your greedy pockets! RTE = Really Terrible Entertainment
