Politicians and jumping on bandwagon in public....

That is an absolutely outstanding interview by Burns, cutting through the waffle.

This line from Jarlath Burns sums up the like of Simon Harris getting involved:

You would almost think there was an election coming up."

I was delighted to see that there is now an gaago lg app for lg tvs, however it just supports newer models. The authentication process via the phone was fantastic. However i was really disappointed to see that it requires re authentication every x days, this is disaster for usability.

No one is saying that the likes of a streaming service is not a revenue builder, before streaming we still had reasons to generate money, but some matches like Saturday night with everything on the line for Cork at home against the reigning champions needs viewed free

Is Gaago owned by RTE or the GAA?

[johnnycool]

I think Cork People have every right to be upset. They are the most populous hurling county and yet 3 of their munster hurling matches are behind a pay wall. Something stinks about that, the Gaa know that these 3 games alone will generate huge income. Do the Gaa or RTE produce viewing figures for Gaago?

And two of those games were in Cork itself....

Well they can all watch the Tipp game on the television this weekend.

Disgrace I tell you.

[weareros]

If you are a Cork supporter and you could not make it to Pairc Ui Chaoimh, you still had the option of watching every championship game live. In either code.
There's counties in Ireland that get neither. Small counties like Sligo and Leitrim. Did they have any championship game on air or GAAGo yet? But not only do the big counties get all the resources, and enjoy all the advantages of population size, not to mention politicians directing money their way - they are also the biggest moaners too. Cork are a county of privilege and because they are spoiled little brats can't even recognise it.

Yeah but when you have rights etc involved then the games are scheduled way in advance. Did you know 2 months ago that this match was going to have riding on it what was riding on it?

On a weekend with 2 football finals, the obvious thing was for RTÉ to cover one hurling game on the Saturday and decide closer to the date which one they would cover.

The last few years of the Munster Championship have been the best about, nearly every game in that championship has something riding on it, also doesn't take much to figure out that these games would generate plenty of interest, the sceptic in me thinks that other games would not fill their grounds if they had the game on free TV so rather not worry about games that are stadium fillers and go for others that might have an impact of revenue at the gate.

Obviously provincial finals will need to be shown btw regardless of their capacity grounds

Then the same thing would probably happen another week anyway. Can't really win on this one I don't think.

There is a great deal of shite on discussed on this matter. Some guy was on the radio there, likely a politician, saying that "Sky had been better as most people have Satellite TV", which is completely untrue, while in reality far more people have broadband. He then said that it should be on RTÉ and advertisers would bid for slots, but RTÉ hasn't much money to give to the GAA and there are people who are not paying their TV licence ranting about games not being on TV.
There is a loss of visibility to the GAA in not having this game on TV, and that too has its price, but there has to accurate discussion of the situation, not fantasy. For one thing, RTÉ is supposed to serve everyone and this aim might not be compatible with having 20 hours of GAA each weekend. Virgin Media does nothing, which it would if advertisers really were interested.

RTE doesn't have enough channels to show it all. I don't even know about the visibility angle either - outside of GAA GO there were two provincial football finals and two AI U20 football semi finals on.

They can't not show a provincial football final so the hurling likely had to go on account of that and other games being chosen.

I do think we're straying into the unrealistic expectation territory with how many games people think they should have access to. There's too many on and there will be some casualties.

[Armagh18]

Do many counties have their own streaming service? I know Armagh tv do a good job with club games etc and Down and Tyrone have their own as well I think. Surely it'd be possible to let them show their own counties games if gaa go/rte don't have it.

Could rte not have some sort of red button service to even link these together?

[Armagh18]

Just seen Jarlaths quote about Simon Harris, you'd think theres an election coming up. Love it!
