RTÉ cancels its 50-year-old Christmas Eve Grafton Street broadcast due to finances, opting for a studio event instead.
RTÉ has canceled its annual live Christmas Eve broadcast from Dublin’s Grafton Street for 2025, ending a tradition dating back over 50 years.
The decision, attributed to ongoing financial pressures and declining ad revenue, marks the second time in half a century the event will not be held on the street, the first being during the pandemic.
The show will instead be hosted by Oliver Callan from the radio centre with a live audience.
Government TD Naoise Ó’Muirí criticized the move, calling it a loss of a cherished national tradition that fostered community spirit.
RTÉ has not announced plans for the event’s return or alternative programming.
