TRTÉ (Teen RTÉ) is a programming block which airs on RTÉ Two targeting children between 7 and 16 years of age. Initially operating alongside a sister strand called RTÉjr (which has since become the channel RTÉjr), it targets children of less than 6 years of age. The strand also appears on radio on RTÉ Junior.
TRTÉ broadcasts every afternoon. Its flagship programming includes Elev8 presented by Ivan Minnock, Seán Regan and Moldovan-born Diana Bunici until 2015 where it was replaced with Swipe TV.News2day broadcasts daily featuring news updates. Stephen Byrne and Bláthnaid Treacy host Two Tube every weekday night from 17.00 to 18.30.
TRTÉ like most children's strands provides a striped schedule Monday to Friday. This means that the same show is shown at the same time every weekday. The strand starts off at 13:30 Monday to Friday with 5 imported programmes until 16:30 when Swipe TV begins. Swipe TV is preceded each day by News2day at 16:25. Two Tube begins broadcasting at 18:00. Both Swipe TV and News2day (along with two of the international programmes) are repeated the following day from 07:20 to 09:00.
This schedule changes at the weekend where TRTÉ hours are moved to 08:00 until 11:30. (Times vary due to live sport, which also airs on RTÉ Two).
The schedule also changes during school holidays were RTÉjr is largely replaced by TRTÉ.
TRTÉ has generally aired most teen/children's shows from original channel's such as Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Including Aquateam, iCarly, Aaron Stone, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, Dani's House, Summerhill and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
