"As RTÉ lurches ever closer to financial armageddon, we examine how the cutbacks are kicking in to programming."

RTÉ are continuing to make cutbacks and this means a lot of changes to try and save a few million euro. The cutbacks are starting to sink in to programming, so Primetime is taking a look at the effects being felt across Montrose.
