Nationwide is an Irish television programme broadcast on RTÉ One every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening at 19:00, around 35 minutes long. It is currently presented by Michael Ryan and Mary Kennedy. The programme focuses on human interest stories and cultural events across the island of Ireland[citation needed], generally but not solely outside of Dublin. The show is produced by RTÉ Cork.[1]
It, along with Capital D, a programme featuring Dublin, serves a similar purpose to the occasional RTÉ attempts to regionalise news and human interest content in the past,[2] albeit without the increased technology and transmission costs, which would likely require total re-engineering of the country's transmission and cable television networks. Nationwide itself was the sole programme regionalised in recent times,[3] but this has now ceased.
Nationwide is the brainchild of Michael Ryan.[4]
On 20 December 2011, Anne Cassin was announced as Michael Ryan's replacement as presenter.[5]
