About RTÉ Radio 1 Extra

Listen to the online radio of RTÉ Radio 1 Extra live, which is RTÉ Radio 1’s digitally distributed sister station, launched in 2008 as RTÉ Choice, and arrived to its current name in 2013. RTÉ 1 Extra Radio is in the ownership of Raidió Teilifís Éireann which is Ireland’s National Public Service Broadcaster.
The radio's programme structure is the thought-emphasized extension of its parent station's broadcast. So less music, and more talk builds the schedule. No funny talks or chit-chats, the main aspect of the service - as it reveals itself as "Quality speech from Home and Abroad" - to broadcast deeper conversations, debates, speeches about real topics, real issues of Ireland and the World. Past, present and future - so history, politics, documentaries, environs, business, technology, sports, arts, religion and much more widen the perspective. For being the most open-minded, the broadcaster brings talk programmes not just from Ireland, but also from international broadcasters like BBC (UK), NPR (USA) and Deutsche Welle (Germany).

RTÉ Radio 1 Extra slogan: "Quality Speech from Home and Abroad"
