A SENIOR manager at TV3 has said that management at RTE should resign in the wake of the Fr Kevin Reynolds libel to prevent more damage to the national broadcaster.
TV3’s Director of Programming Ben Frow described as “unforgivable”the airing by RTE of the ‘Prime Time Investigates’ programme that made false claims about the priest.
Mr Frow said the damages paid out by RTE to Fr Reynolds would have shut down TV3.
“We don’t have that kind of money to be handing out in damages. It would have closed TV3. I think it is a major f***-up by RTE,” he said.
