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.

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.

Virgin Media should propose doing one and let the GAA provide them with clips!

The thing with firestick you need connections  to know people.

I find it unbelievable that with all the matches now jampacked every weekend and the fuss about RTE doing a Saturday game highlights programme, they won't even do that every weekend for the championship?

They are only doing a few Saturday highlights shows after all.

And there is no Saturday matches televised at all even during a packed schedule and yet they were during the league.
