Nationwide

Nationwide 1993

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 Anne Cassin and Mary Kennedy. The programme focuses on human interest stories and cultural events across the island of Ireland, generally but not solely outside of Dublin. The show is produced by RTÉ Cork. 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, 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, but this has now ceased. Nationwide is the brainchild of Michael Ryan. On 20 December 2011, Anne Cassin was announced as Michael Ryan's replacement as presenter following his retirement.
