From the creator

http://www.rte.ie/newsnow Telefis Éireann went on the air on New Year's Eve, 1961, and so began a new era in Irish broadcasting. The first person to address the new television audience was President Eamon de Valera, who said in his speech: 'Never before was there in the hands of men an instrument so powerful to influence the thoughts and actions of the multitude.' TV50 launches in the new year with a selection of programmes from the past, all of which you can view on http://www.rte.ie/player
