News Summary:

On August 7, 2026, Raidio Teilefis Eireann (RTÉ) reported that its coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup reached three million adults on television and generated over 25 million streams on RTÉ Player, releasing a commercial wrap of its extensive broadcasts. Previously, on July 30, the broadcaster secured exclusive Irish free-to-air rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted across Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with three centenary games in South America. The 2026 tournament concluded with Spain defeating Argentina. Earlier, on July 28, RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst reassured staff that plans for expanded production in Cork remain in place, following reports that co-location talks with Cork City Council had broken down. Bakhurst had told Cork staff that securing a new Leeside base is a "central part" of the company's five-year plan, dismissing suggestions that the broadcaster was hesitant to invest in Cork production, reaffirming the company's commitment, and indicating exploration of other options in the city. This commitment followed reports from earlier that day that co-location talks with Cork City Council for new studios and offices had ceased, leading to concerns among Cork employees who had been promised new facilities more than a year prior.
