The Executive Board of RTE is being stood down from today.
The new Director General confirmed the news in an email to staff this morning.
Kevin Bakhurst says a new interim leadership team will be appointed, with a permanent one announced in due course.
In the email he also committed to publishing the salaries of the Executive Board along with the ten highest paid presenters in the RTE annual report every year, starting with 2023.
People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy believes members of the public, who pay the licence fee, should have a say in the running of RTE.
"A majority of people on the RTE are appointees of the government, half of them directly by the government and another quarter by the Oireachtas, which is obviously dominated by the government.
"We need to find a way to bring representatives of the viewing public, the wider community and the workers into the top of RTE."
