GAAGO, which is a joint partnership between the GAA and RTÉ, has essentially taken ownership of the Saturday market – just as Sky had done during its nine years as a rights holder.
GAAGO is broadcasting a total of 38 exclusive live games and will show matches on 12 Saturdays over the course of the 17 championship weekends.
The new media rights deal is a five-year agreement, 2023-2027 inclusive. RTÉ will show 31 live championship matches this summer, plus three Tailteann Cup games and the McDonagh Cup decider – 35 in total.

Declan McBennett, head of RTÉ sport and a good Armagh man, was interviewed on the radio there.
He made the point that RTÉ have only certain number of games and are obliged to cover the provincial finals last weekend, so the hurling gets shunted to GAAGo. But, as he pointed out, the scheduling of games is not determined by RTÉ but by the GAA.

If the GAA want a compressed season, with a load of games on some weekends, then something has to give.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

The GAA reduced the time and increased the number of games. The real villains in this are the clubs. 8)

The GAA had an armchair audience over the summer, when some other sports were not active. It decided to give this up.

13 of those 14 soccer games were World Cup games which only happens once every four years. It was in the winter and the kickoffs were mostly in the evening which would give the viewing figures a boost they wouldn't get in other years.

Some of the stuff has been pure facepalm.

The Munster hurling final was on a Sunday afternoon in June when the vast majority of people do not work and there were no other major sporting events.

Hurling is not the big sell it thinks it is.

Yes, but the soccer was grand for a dark winter evening, you wouldn't go out. There is something a bit off about sitting plonked in front of the TV on the brightest days.

Bit late night hurling on in 10mins, deferred Munster hurling Minor final

Any word of this midweek magazine type programme that was supposed to be rolled out in rte this year?
I'd envisaged a bit of a talkshow about upcoming fixtures etc, a bit like that utv Adrian Logan programme which was excellent in my hazy memory of it.
If it's started, it's been lost on me anyway.

It was a 2nd highlights show rather than a magazine type show. I think they have had one Saturday Game highlights show so far.

The coverage of Gaelic Games from one weekend to the next on RTE is close to zero.
