It appears Republic of Telly could be the latest show set to face the axe from RTE.
In a bid to cut costs, the national broadcaster has been making a series of changes within the station.
Following the news that they’ll be outsourcing children’s tv programmes from the start of 2017, it has now been rumoured that a number of other shows could be in jeopardy.
According to The Sun, the likes of Reality Bites and Republic of Telly could be in trouble from the start of the new year.
An insider told the paper, “It’s easier to axe a show like Republic of Telly because many of the people working on it are freelance writers and actors.”
Another source added, “Shows made largely by freelancers are much easier to cut than those made by staff. Freelancers don’t need to be paid redundancy either.”
