Mickey Harte is not stopping any of his players from talking to RTE.

The Tyrone manager was forced to outline his position to members of the county's management committee on Tuesday night after RTE were unsuccessful in obtaining post-match interviews following Tyrone's three FL Division 1 games this year.

The Examiner reports that Harte met with Red Hand officials in Garvaghey and said he is not standing in the way of any of his players speaking to the national broadcaster.

Apparently, correspondence from new team sponsors McAleer and Rushe seeking clarification on the team's media protocols was discussed at Tuesday night's meeting and a full meeting of the county board was subsequently informed of Harte's position.

"Discussions are ongoing regarding media relations with all outlets," a Tyrone spokesman informed The Examiner.

The Red Hands stand-off with RTE began in 2011 when details of letter sent by Harte to the station was leaked to the press.

RTE were subsequently forced to issue a public apology over a very insensitive sketch on a radio programme.
