Bali

The Majapahit empire collapsed slightly before 1500, due to assaults, causing an exodus to Bali. The licence fee does not fund 2FM, RTÉ Aertel, RTÉ Guide or the website rte.ie. The Hindu Majapahit Empire (1293–1520 AD) on Eastern Java founded a Balinese colony in 1343. These two sources are approximately split in a 50:50 ratio. The name Balidwipa has been discovered from various inscriptions, among others the Blanjong charter which was issued by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 913 AD and mentions the word "Walidwipa". RTÉ receives income from two main sources:. The end of the prehistoric period in Indonesia was marked by the arrival of the Hindu people arriving from India around 100 BC as determined by Brahmi inscriptions on potsherds. The Director-General heads the Executive Board of RTÉ, which comprises the companies top management and includes the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Communications and the Managing Directors of the Television, Radio, and News IBD's.

The Balinese people are descendants of a prehistoric race who migrated through mainland Asia to the Indonesian archipelago, presumably first settling around 2500 BC. The RTÉ Authority appoints the Director General of RTÉ who in effect fulfils the dual role of Chief Executive and of Editor in Chief. Bali is also famous for its artisans who produce batik and ikat cloth and clothing, wooden carvings, stone carvings and silverware. The RTÉ Irish language channel, TG4, is operated as an subsidiary of RTÉ (Serbhisí Telefis na Gaelige Teoranta) prior to its intended ultimate separation from RTÉ. A significant number of Balinese are also fishermen. The RTÉ organisation is divided into six integrated business divisions (IBD's): RTÉ Television, RTÉ Radio, RTÉ News, RTÉ Network, RTÉ Publishing & RTÉ Performing Groups) together with Central Shared Services (People Payments, Procurement, Treasury, IT Infrastructure, Audience Research, FOI, and Property & Site Facilities)and a Group HQ. Other crops such as fruits, vegetables and other cash crops are also grown, although in smaller amounts. The RTÉ Authority is both the custodian of RTÉ and its regulator.

Most of the Balinese people are involved in agriculture, primarily that of rice cultivation. The members of the RTÉ Authority are appointed by the Cabinet upon the recommendation of the Minister for Communications, Marine & Natural Resources. Beautiful black sand beaches between Pasut and Klatingdukuh are now being developed for tourism, but apart from the famous seaside temple of Tanah Lot, this is not yet a tourist area. RTÉ operates as a statutory corporation.Its board is known as the RTÉ Authority. Facing a revitalizing landscape of strong waves, the coast around Pasut is a perfect escape from the crowds. RTÉ Network (branded as "RTÉNL") is operated through a wholly owned subsidiary company, RTÉ Network Transmission Limited,and provides transmission services for all of RTÉ's own channels and also for competing stations such as TV3 Ireland and Today FM. The Ho River is navigable by small sampan. RTÉ Music's slogan is RTÉ - Supporting the Arts.

Pasut Beach (Tabanan), near Sungai Ho and Pura Segara, is a quiet beach lying 14 km southwest of Tabanan. These groups perform regularly in the National Concert Hall and The Helix in Dublin. The beach town of Padangbai in the north east has both: the main beach and the secret beach have white sand and the south beach and the blue lagoon have much darker sand. RTÉ Performing Groups supports two full-time orchestras - the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra - as well as the RTÉ Vanbergh String Quartet, RTÉ Philharmonic Choir, and RTÉ Cór na nÓg. Beaches in the south tend to have white sand while those in the north and west tend to have black sand.

In addition RTÉ Publishing operates a teletext service on both RTÉ One and RTÉ Two, called RTÉ Aertel, which has news, sport, and programme support information.

Due to the slope of the mountainous terrain in the island's center, the roads tend to follow the crests of the ridges across the mountains. Live streams of all of RTÉ's national radio networks are available online. There are major coastal roads as well as roads that cross the island mainly in a north-south manner. It operates all of RTÉ's many websites - branded as rte.ie,and providing online news, sport, and entertainment services. There are no railway lines on the island. RTÉ Publishing has four main constituent parts: Print Publishing, E-Publishing (both WEB & Teletext), Commercial Telecoms & Digital Consumer Technology Incubation.The division publishes the RTÉ Guide and sells DVDs and VHS videos of RTÉ Television programmes, and audio tapes and compact discs of RTÉ radio programmes.

The main tourist locations are the town of Kuta (along with its accompanying beach), Sanur, Jimbaran, Seminyak and the newer development of Nusa Dua. Since 2003, RTÉ has branded its television programmes under a number of a number of different genres. Its population of over 3 million is mainly (about 93%) Hindu, but a very small part is Muslim (mostly coastal fisherman). A DAB version of at least Radio 1 will begin along the east coast of Ireland on 1 January 2006. In the south the land descends to form an alluvial plain, watered by shallow rivers, dry in the dry season and overflowing whenever there are periods of heavy rains. The main difference between this and the main FM feed is the inclusion of several RTÉ Radio na Gaeltachta programmes. The town of Ubud (north of Denpasar), with its art market, museums and galleries, is regarded as the cultural center of Bali. A slightly adapted version of Radio One is broadcast on longwave, Sky Digital and Hotbird as RTÉ Europe.

The principal cities are the northern port of Singaraja and the capital, Denpasar, near the southern coast. Formerly RTE operated RTÉ Radio Cork (previously Cork 89FM), a local radio service in Cork, but this closed down in the early 2000s. About 30,000 years ago Mount Batur experienced a massive catastrophic eruption — one of the largest known volcanic events on Earth. RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, an exclusively Irish language service, first began broadcasting in 1972. Mount Batur, or what remains of it, is also still active. RTÉ 2FM is a popular music and chat channel, while RTÉ Lyric FM serves the interests of classical music and the arts. Mountains range from the central to the eastern side of the island with Mount Agung being the easternmost peak. Broadcasting on Radio 1 provides comprehensive coverage of news, current affairs, music, drama and variety features, agriculture, education, religion and sport, mostly in English but also some Irish.

The highest point of the island is Mount Agung, 3,142 m high (10,308 feet), an active volcano that last erupted in March 1963. Now, RTÉ has a nation-wide communications network with an increasing emphasis on regional news-gathering and input. Its surface is 5,633 km². Radio Éireann and Telefís Éireann were both renamed Radio Telefís Éireann in 1966. It lies about 8 degrees south of the equator. Radio Athlone became known as "Radio Éireann" in 1938. Bali is part of the Lesser Sunda Islands, 153 km long and 112 km wide (95 by 69 miles), and 3.2 km east of Java. 2RN, 6CK and Athlone became known as "Radio Athlone" or "Raidio Áth Luain".

. A high power station was established in Athlone in 1932 to co-incide with the staging of the Eucharistic Congress. The island is a popular tourist destination and known, along with Java, for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather and metalworking, and music, especially that played on the gamelan. 6CK was established in Cork in 1927, however 6CK was mostly a relay of 2RN. It is positioned in a chain with Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Regular Irish radio broadcasting began on January 1, 1926. Location: 8°25′23″S, 115°14′55″E. The first voice broadcast of 2RN, the original radio callsign for Radio 1, took place on November 14, 1925 when Seamus Clandillon, the 2RN station director said, "Seo Raidió 2RN, Baile Átha Cliath ag tástáil", meaning "This is Radio 2RN, Dublin testing".

Bali is an Indonesian island. See also: List of RTÉ television programming. RTÉ introduced on-screen logos (or 'bugs') for RTÉ One and RTÉ Two in 2004. RTÉ carried the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games opening and closing ceremonies live for the first time in the history of the games together with extensive radio and television coverage of the events. In the 1990s, more competition came from satellite television, especially from Sky based in the UK.

RTÉ's approach was pragmatic, as it introduced cable television in the 1970s, initially known as RTÉ Relays, and subsequently as Cablelink, although it later sold its stake in the company, which is now known as NTL Ireland. From the outset, RTÉ had faced competition from British TV channels such as those of the BBC and UTV, broadcasting from Northern Ireland, whose signal spilt over into the Republic. RTÉ's TV channels are not available to Sky subscribers in Great Britain, although between 1997 and 2002, Tara Television carried a mix of RTÉ One and Two programmes before disputes with RTÉ over payment led to its closure.[3] Owing to rights issues, it would be difficult and costly for RTÉ to broadcast its channels in the whole of the UK, but it continues to express an interest in providing a similar channel to Tara. The channels are also available via satellite on Sky Digital, although these are encrypted and anyone wishing to view the channels needs to obtain a Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland subscription (they are part of the Variety Mix under the new pricing system, or the Family Pack in the pre-2005 system).

RTÉ One, RTÉ Two and TG4 are also available in Northern Ireland via terrestrial overspill or on cable (coverage and inclusion on cable systems varies). Most of the broadcasts are in English, including programming imported from the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand. Presently, both RTÉ One and RTÉ Two provide round-the-clock broadcasts seven days a week, providing comprehensive coverage of news, current affairs, sport, music, drama and entertainment. Although Irish language programmes, such as Nuacht (the news) and Léargas (insight) have been an integral part of the schedule, in 1996 a new Irish-language TV service, Teilifís na Gaeilge, since renamed TG4, began broadcasting for the first time.

The few Irish language programmes provided by RTÉ were now broadcast on Network 2, although RTÉ One now broadcasts Irish language programmes. All sports coverage was transferred to the newly renamed channel, along with all children's programmes. In the early 1980s RTÉ 2 became Network 2. The opening night featured a gala variety show from the Cork Opera House.

The new television channel went on the air on November 2, 1978. As a consequence, the original RTE 2 schedule had many live relays of British programmes, however, there were also some original RTE2 programming. RTÉ 2's remit was to provide alternative television. In 1977 a new Fianna Fáil government came to power and as one of its many promises, the government quickly authorised a second channel to be run by RTÉ.

All of RTÉ's studios at Nutley Lane, Donnybrook were equipped for colour broadcasts by 1976. The next phase was colour outside broadcasts, and the first was the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest, the first of many such productions by RTÉ. The first programme made in colour by RTÉ was a 7 Days documentary special called "John Hume's Derry". RTÉ made its first colour transmissions in 1969.

The Late Late Show, which began in July 1962 and is still running as of 2006, and its original host, Gay Byrne, pioneered many of these discussions and has been credited with being a major influence in the changing social structure of Ireland. Topics which were hitherto not discussed in Ireland, such as abortion, contraception and various other controversial topics, were now openly being discussed in television studios. Television opened up a completely new world to the Irish people. The show, which was a countdown to the New Year, was hosted by the Chairman of the Radio Eireann Authority, Eamonn Andrews, with appearances by Patrick O'Hagan, the Artane Boys Band and Micheál Ó Hehir.

Following this a live concert was broadcast from the Gresham Hotel in Dublin. Lemass. There were other messages from Cardinal d'Alton and An Taoiseach, Seán F. He went on to say that "Like atomic energy, it can be used for incalculable good but it can also do irreparable harm".

The opening address by President of Ireland Eamon de Valera described the benefits and disadvantages of the new medium. Telefís Éireann began broadcasting at 7:00pm on December 31, 1961. .
