RTE has confirmed that it has axed one of it’s top prime time TV shows.
Upfront with Katie Hannon, which airs on Monday night, will not be returning in September following three seasons on air.
The series, hosted by Katie Hannon, was first launched on RTE One in January 2023.
The audience-centred weekly live current affairs show featured a panel of four guests and of up to 40 spectator contributors.
In a statement, Katie Hannon said: “I’m very proud of what we achieved on Upfront. We managed to buck the international trend and actually grew our audience on linear television and our digital footprint.
“It was a privilege to work with our small team of talented and hardworking colleagues led by our editor Janet Traynor. I also want to thank all of those who came into our studio and trusted us with their stories and contributed to the national conversation on the issues that matter to all of us.
“I’m disappointed that we won’t be able to keep that conversation going.”
