RT Raidi na Gaeltachta's new Autumn Schedule will begin on Monday 9th September, and we are delighted to announce a selection of new programmes, as well as new presenters and some other presenters returning to the airwaves.
D nall Mac Ruair is returning to his music and entertainment programme, C isir Cheoil, from three to five Monday to Thursday. D nall, an award winning broadcaster, is a member of the family music group Clann Mhic Ruair and has spent six years as producer of Barrsc alta'. He feels that the world of music has changed a lot since streaming services emerged. It is more important now than ever to find worthwhile musical treasures that are hidden and present them to the public. Isn't it a nice opportunity , says D nall, Listening to music and presenting it to the world, and there will be all sorts of things to hear on the programme from traditional and world music. I think it's possible and worth spinning the many strands of music together and creating a musical banquet or a music party.
P Sc al is a new programme to be aired every Friday from three to five with the well-known personality, M ire Treasa N Dhubhghaill at the helm. M ire Treasa has spent many years on television programmes and working on sport, but now she turns her hand to radio.

This new radio drama series, can he heard every Friday at 2.35 pm or online on the RT Radio Player. It connects the era is which Jim n is set to the present day and we will also hear a new generation of young actors emerging, including Se n Dalby who plays the part of Jim n. This is a drama series for young and the not-so-young, produced by Macalla Teo., and funded by Coimisi n na Me n from the Sound & Vision Scheme.
