No star presenters or ‘glitzy’ studio for UTV
UTV Media has begun recruiting for its new television channel in the Republic, with the company seeking a head of channel and a head of sales operations in Dublin, as well as two Belfast-based programme schedulers. UTV Media group chief executive John McCann said poaching a "star" name to anchor its proposed one-hour news programme was not UTV's priority.
“Some broadcasters start with the presenters and then build a show around them. We actually don’t do it like that and we wouldn’t see it like that for this channel. What is important for us, and we think for the viewer, is the content,” he said.
“There are names almost that have become more important than the material that is in the show itself. To me it should be the other way around.”
Apart from its deal for content rights with ITV Studios, "nothing is fixed in stone" for the station, which is set to go on air in January 2015.
'Fragile' recovery
UTV Media will update the market on its recent trading performance today via an interim management statement. Although Mr McCann indicated a "fragile" recovery has begun in both television and radio advertising revenues, overall turnover and operating profits are on track to be lower this year than they were in 2012, when the grou

Spotlight on family farm heroes
“I feel it’s very important for our urban counterparts to see a programme like Rare Breed — and to see where the food that they buy and eat comes from, and all of the effort that goes into its production,” said Micheál.
“We have had a great reaction, from our neighbours and friends and the local community, to the programme so far, and we look forward to watching the next programmes in the series.”
Micheál, who runs his enterprise with his wife, Annette, and his sister, Kathleen, said it was a great experience for himself and his family to work with the television crew.
The episodes in January showed Micheál welcoming new arrivals on the farm. This month, the series will show how he and other dairy farmers struggle to find storage for their slurry.
Frank McGeeney, from Knockbridge, Co Louth, is another dairy farmer featured in the series, which he said gives a good insight into the challenges that farming families faced across Ireland.
“The family-farm model is under a lot of pressure and, with the milk quotas being abolished in April, everybody producing milk in Ireland will be selling onto an open market,” said Franks.
“There’s going to be a lot of fluctuations on prices, with good years and bad years, and I think Rare Breed gives an i
