What happened to Logan?

[deargdoom]

Was at a talk last year where Logie was asked about his sacking from UTV. He was very dignified in his response. Got his point across without complaining about the coverage other sports were given compared to gaelic. He also gave an interesting insight into how GAA results were reported and treated by UTV. It was apparant how hurt and angered he was by the whole debacle, yet unlike Jerome, Logie didn't create a media circus around himself.

I heard Logie in that interview this evening....spoke really well and was very dignified....he tried to sum up how Mickey was feeling....an impossible task but Adrian did his best to convey the sheer devastation the man and his family must be feeling.

What was the interesting insight?

There is a difference in the two cases though in that UTV is a commercial station which does not have the same public service remit as BBCNI. You pay your £145 to BBC not UTV.

yes, if your friends daughter had just died it would be nigh on impossible to speak on live TV, but i suppose professionalism never leaves you.

He mentioned that he was on the UTV website one day and there was over 50 results from matches on it - not one of them a gaelic result. He went to one of his superiors and informed him that there was at least 10 GAA matches that day and questioned why the results weren't published. The superior suggested that someone phone Croke Park to get the results, Logie lost the plot and started giving out that nobody phones Old Trafford to get the result of a United match so why on earth would they do that for gaelic results

Since UTV is a commercial station, would it not be possible for advertisers to pressure them into giving more GAA coverage? There's plenty of businesses out there which sponsor GAA teams and competitions, there's bound to be some of them that advertise on UTV as well.  Surely they're getting poor value for their investment when big crowds show up at Gaelic games and escape the attention of cameras, while the three men and a dog at soccer matches get the undivided attention of the producers. Nothing motivates a broadcaster quite like the words "we're going to stop advertising with you unless..."

excellent point, although it wasn't the soccer that got to me, it was the Lisnagarvey IV v Banbridge III Junior Hockey matches that did that
