RTE at 6PM every day has a one minute Meditation/ Reflection Break. Why must it be labeled religious when it Really is not???

RTE stands for: Radio Television Eirin
The one minute break is labeled RELIGIOUS when it starts

If not religious, what was the motivation for the "one minute reflection"?
Generally, this came about because religious groups were thwarted in trying to establish a prayer break. They pulled back to just a "quiet time" so they could keep their foot in the door while still technically complying.

Who's RTE, and who labelled it religious. Do they call it a Reflection Break, or is that the name you call it by?

rte?
religious does not have to be a relion based thing - but depending on the country you're in, some places need to ahve a time for religious community time..
(schools need a daily time for religious reflection..)

Are there religious reasons behind the meditation? I'm just saying, sounds kind of suspicious.

'cos its a catholic country?
They never used to do that when I was there. Do they show any nice pictures, play music, or is it just a blank screen and silence for a minute?
