No Election on Radio One?


Is it just me, or should RTE Radio 1 (as the National licence fee accepting Full Service station) be highlighting the fact that they will be covering the US Election tonight? Hey, maybe they're not?
According to their website schedule, it's business as usual:

00:00

00:04

02:00

Fair enough. Looks like it's The Beeb then.
