Republic of Telly has been axed from RTE, after 15 series on air.
The national broadcaster confirmed in November that the future of the show was uncertain, and that show bosses would have to look at it’s overall performance ahead of any re-commission in spring.
They have since decided that the show will not be returning to our screens in the near future.
RTE2’s Adrian Lynch told the Irish Mirror, “Republic of Telly has been a brilliant vehicle for developing talent both on and off-screen, from Damo & Ivor to Bridget and Eamon and The Rubberbandits.
“It was a brilliantly irreverent show which broke the mould in how it engaged with viewers and brought Irish comedy acts to a wider audience both on RTÉ 2 and on social media.
“We want to thank host Kevin McGahern and all the hosts and teams involved in making the show over the last eight years.”
Will you be sad to see it go?
