UTV & BBC & RTE & TV3

RTE coverage on Sunday Sports rant.

As usual showed the TG4 and Setanta games plus a report from Mayo and Galway.

Give the results and discussed briefly the promotion issues but didn't show any league tables for any divisions. Aertel don;t have them either.

Surely someone has a calculator or spreadsheet in RTE to keep updated league tables.

A credit to the BBC Ceefax service this year bingo. They are up-to-date and accurate. Hopefully the television coverage will improve too.

I actually noticed yesterday that Aertel had some scores up to date on a more regular basis, then I noticed that it was mainly the games involving Ulster teams. Some-one at Aertel was obviously watching page 391 on ceefax!!

Government to review designated events list

Monday, 13 April 2009 19:07
The Government is to review the list of sporting events that have to be covered free-to-air because they are of major importance to society.

Under the review, Communications Minister Eamon Ryan is inviting the public to make submissions on events that should be added to the list.

Currently, the list comprises:

- The Summer Olympics
- The All-Ireland Senior Football and Hurling finals
- Ireland's Quallifying games in the European Football Championship and World Cup
- The opening games, semi-finals and the final of the European Football Championship Finals and the FIFA World Cup Finals Tournament
- Ireland's games at the Rugby World Cup Finals Tournament
- The Irish Grand National and the Irish Derby
- The Nations Cup at the Dublin Horse Show

The 'deferred coverage' list currently contains just one event; Ireland's games in the Six Nations Rugby Championship.

Announcing the review, Minister Ryan said: 'There are certain events which should fall outside the solely commercial remit - these are events that are much more than matches or ceremonies. They are part of what we are as a nation and their enjoyment should be available to all.

'I would urge interested members of the public to submit their ideas, which I can promise will be noted with great care.'

The public have until 8 May 2009 to make submission

Is the address where the submissions go a secret?

I see that UTV's local sports teletext service will close from May 31; how will we ever get through the Championship without it? Good f><kin riddance!

Close permanently, close until the OWC gets going again?

How hard is it to type results into teletext?

Who actually still uses teletext? Is that not a bit of a blast from the past?

Would use it all the time, as I tend not to spend my life in front of a computer 24/7.

I look at sport on Ceefax and Aertel. Never UTV. It's a joke.

You spend it in front of the TV instead.

I don't spend too much time in front of a computer (compared to some anyway), apart from at work, but just wouldn't think of using teletext over the last few years. Would have used it for TV schedules, but with Virgin Media (and probably all similar services), you can scroll it all on the bottom of your screen.

Big teletext user myself - not that its much good. rte only keep the english soccer scores updated right. bbc have begun to do a decent job with the ulster teams' scores in the national league. utv is a joke of course.

whats the story with logie?
