Hi, Mark,
Sorry for confusion, you're right. RTE Player, not Iplayer. As usual, trying
to skip a couple of letters leads to confusion and a load load of extra
letters trying to explain the mess (smile)!
Your question about AD falls into the same category as subtitles; I was told
that they do not appear on the Player even though they appeared on the
original transmission. I need to confirm that this is or is not correct and
for obvious reasons I can't tell because I can't see what is on the screen.
Maybe you'd look at, for instance, tonight's news and watch the same again
tomorrow on the Player and see if they are different?
Take care,
Gerry ellis

Just to avoid any confusion, this is the RTÉ Player, not the iPlayer. I know
it may sound like I'm being picky and I often am but I've had crossed
conversations before when someone says iPlayer and means RTÉ Player, which
has no 'i' in it.
Gerry, does the RTÉ Player have AD capability so that when Fair City is
broadcast with AD (three trial episodes this Autumn) will that be available
through the Player?

Hi,
I thought this might be of interest to you.
I wonder how people have gotten on recently using the Iplayer?
One deaf person commented to me that access services such as subtitling do
not appear on the Iplayer, even if they were present during the original
transmission. I wonder if this is your experience or does it matter to
you?
There will be a meeting of the RTE Audience Council on May 17th and I
would
like to raise the issue of the Iplayer again, so all comments are welcome.
Take care,

RTÉ'S FAIR CITY TO LAUNCH ON RTÉ PLAYER AND RTÉ One +1
FAIR CITY reaching a wider audience through positioning on additional
platforms
RTÉ Drama is pleased to announce that we have reached agreement with
Equity
and the Irish Playwrights' and Screenwriters' Guild on rights for the RTÉ
Player and RTÉ One+1. This means RTÉ's Fair City will be available on the
RTÉ Player and RTÉ One+1, commencing with the episode broadcasting on
Tuesday, 1st May, 2012. Tuesday's episode will be available on the RTÉ
Player, shortly after broadcast across the island of Ireland. There is
provision in the agreement for twenty-one day catch-up. The period of the
current agreement is for two years, up to the 30th of April, 2014.
Fair City will be available on the RTÉ Player - www.rte.ie/player -
online,
on mobile via iphone, on iPad and iPod Touch, plus on notebooks, PS3 and
on
desktops. It will also be available on RTÉ One + 1 on both SAORVIEW and
UPC.
RTÉ Drama Commissioning Editor, Jane Gogan said:
"Fair City is intrinsic to RTÉ's schedule with a longstanding relationship
with viewers. As audiences look for new ways to view programmes RTÉ,
Equity
and the Irish Playwrights' and Screenwriters' Guild have reached agreement
bringing Fair City to the Player and RTÉ ONE+1. There has been immense
input
and imagination from all parties to the negotiations to make this work and
I
think we are at one in being happy to hand over to the audience."
RTÉ Fair City's 'Bob Charles', aka Bryan Murray, who had a role in the
negotiations said:
"As Ireland's premier and most-watched drama, Fair City's place is on the
RTÉ Player and the cast are very happy that negotiations have been
concluded
successfully between Equity and RTÉ management. We're all very proud of
Fair
City and it's only right that our large and loyal viewership will now be
able to catch up on each episode of Fair City, for twenty-one days, in and
around their busy schedules."
