GaaGo

[SaffronSports]

It's a good day for the IPTV lads I'd think.

I dunno why people are giving out about GAAGo when Rip.ie is going to charge €100!

You only die once though.

Any more chat on this?

Are RTE gone or what's the story.

I know people can't expect any service for free BUT RTE and the GAA both receive tax payer money and then want to charge again.

Sky Sports charged but didn't receive anything from us aside.

The GAA receives money from the taxpayers, but there is a case that it should be used for training youth teams or whatever and not providing free streaming.

I think the actual remit of GaaGo is messy now.
It was for people abroad. That has changed.

Like they claimed games were not cherry picked when they clearly are.

If it is to make money as a commercial entity then that is what they should do.

If its to promote games or highlight matches that tv may not show then that's another thing.

I see a chap in Donegal has setup a new site called www.condolence.ie which will be launching in the first week in January 2025.

On this website your Funeral Director will be able to upload death notices completely free of charge. Family and Friends will also be able access and add their condolences free of charge too.

So now you'll have to check half a dozen websites! Will he have email alerts like RIP.ie?

So, is GAA+ just a rebrand of GAAGo then or is it a different service? Can't seem to find any more info on it.

Thought the same when I got the email, the GAA are brutal at promoting themselves and the competitions

GAA president Jarlath Burns has confirmed the association's new in-house media platform as GAA+.

Replacing GAAGO, the announcement at Congress in Donegal this afternoon confirms the GAA have bought RTÉ out of its share of the streaming service.

Burns revealed the move will ensure there is more content on the pay-per-view service including midweek programmes. It will make its live debut in the opening weekend of the championships in April.

"Why are we doing this?" asked Burns. "To be strategic, to be a leader in Irish sport, to leverage global trends, to future proof the value of our broadcast rights in a quickly evolving media world, to further embrace the digital age and meet our members' demands.

"Our growing in-house expertise allows us to pursue this project entirely on our own in the domestic and international markets, but I would like to acknowledge and thank RTÉ for their collaboration and partnership over the course of the last decade.

"Their know-how and experience were vital in establishing proof of concept for what was a new venture and a first in Irish sport. We look forward to working with them as traditional media partners for many years to come – as part of a mutually beneficial relationship that stretches back to the first European Sports broadcast on 2RN in 1926.

"This latest development represents a major step forward for us in managing and utilising our own rights and when you consider the seismic changes in the media landscape over the last decade, this has to be welcomed."

More content being mentioned here but who knows how much more.
Probably do a similar to RTE and broadcast something like 2 more games in total.
Based on the marketing speak by Burns it's hard to think they will do anything to upset RTE much any time soon. Long-term I think it's going to be a while before Croke Park grasp the possibilities of GAA+ but the growing amount of subscriptions plus the profits it brings in mean that eventually they will actually start to develop it properly.

RTE's reporting on the deal.

When I heard it was called GAA+ I thought we were bought out by Disney.

And maybe they were behind the Gaelic football reboot.
