Tonight with Vincent Browne is an affairs show with an alternative perspective, focusing on issues of income and inequality, as well as seeking to hold institutions and powerful people to account, and despite it being shown on the ‘graveyard’ slot of 10.30pm, it had substantial views.
Browne is known for his fearless reporting on the IRA during the 1980s, fighting back against the Irish State over a wiretapping controversy which saw his phone intercepted for eight years, and for his condemnation of media bosses who appeared to be ostracising journalists without reason.
