No complaints were made by Fair City fans after RTE announced it will be scrapping one episode a week in the new year.

As part of the national broadcaster’s plans to save €10m next year, the station revealed the popular soap will lose its Sunday night episode.

From January 4, Fair City will be cut from four to three episodes a week. This will be done to "allow for a pause in production in July and August".

But despite the average viewing figures of Fair City reaching 550,000 per episode, no complaints were made about dropping one of its episodes.

A spokesman for RTE confirmed that the station received "three phone calls and one email with feedback. No complaints."

Earlier this month, RTE’s Deputy Director General Adrian Lynch told staff in an email that there will be a raft of new changes to its schedule.

RTÉ's in-house Sunday evening summer factual programming will not be produced in 2024.

It will also not produce an in-house Saturday evening entertainment show in the Spring of 2024. This has cast doubt over whether or not Tommy Tiernan's hugely popular chat show will return as well as Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything.

Production of a third season of The Money List, presented by Baz Ashmawy, will be deferred until 2025. A second season which was produced in 2023 will air in 2024.

And the transmission of Young Offenders will be deferred until 2025

The budget for acquired programmes will be reduced in 2024, while additional savings will be delivered through production savings in News and Current Affairs and Sport.

Mr Lynch said: "We are today confirming the following reductions to planned content for 2024.

"The purpose of these deferrals is to help achieve a reduction in planned expenditure of a minimum of €10m, while simultaneously making available the production resources required to deliver the Olympic Games, the European Football Championships, local and European elections, and other special events.

"We have spoken to those directly impacted by these cuts and deferrals, which span a range of genres and will encompass both the production of in-house programmes and the timing of broadcast of some commissioned and co-produced content."
