The partnership will see RTE shows such as ‘The Late Late Show’, ‘Off the Rails’ ‘Tubridy Tonight’ and ‘Show Me The Money’ being made available to both pre-pay and bill-paying Three customers at a rate of EUR0.50 for a period of 24 hours.

“We see your mobile as being your personal TV — no sharing the remote, so you can watch what you want, when you want, where you want, up and down the country,” said Three’s head of entertainment David Riley. He added that RTE was the first of many mobile TV channels set to be launched by the network in the coming weeks.

50 eurocents (about 35p) isn’t bad for a days worth of programmes, especially if you only use it on the odd occasion and don’t want to fork out each month for a subscription.
