correct breiffne they were outbid - but it they are so pro rugby and anti gaa so much as mediaman and other posters make out, they would outbid Tg4 for pro12 and champs cup highlights and TV3 for world cup, however they dont, yet they love Gaa enough (correctly so in my view) to ensure they dont get outbid for gaa championship janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 10/08/2016 12:03:47 1899329 Link 0 |

You don't get out much, do you?

When someone complains about rte not showing a divison 1 game in football we are told o what about the costs of that etc rte have no money etc. Yet the are able to send everyone in rte and a few outsiders to rio. I would not like to see the bill for that. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 10/08/2016 12:24:28 1899341 Link 0 |

The perception to which I was referring was that The GAA gets favourable coverage on RTE . That myth has been dismantled by mediamans sustained analysis of RTE's broadcast content .

Rubbish . The didn't drop them through choice . They dropped them because they couldn't compete financially .

The point being that if they were biased against GAA then they would not buy the rights to show GAA ! and use the money to bid for rugby. The opposite is happening

'Sustained Analysis' = selectively picking and choosing RTE news and sport items that back up his 'RTE are anti-GAA' agenda and presenting them as being statistical analysis. Are more than 50% of RTE's news and sports viewers exvlusively interested in GAA stories and coverage and have no interest in other sports?

Irrelevant links. It's their sports budgets that matter.

The opposite is happening"]Now you really are getting ridiculous . RTE are competing with SKY and BT for the rights to rugby coverage for The Championship and The Six Nations . They can't compete with them . That's why they let them go and the money they spend on GAA wouldn't bring back the rugby. They cut their losses and broadcast GAA. I am surprised that they don't broadcast The Pro12. But then they are not bothered with The National League, the club championships, ladies football, most of the camogie or indeed any ladies soccer . They have also allowed SKY to gain a foothold in the football and hurling championship.

There would want to be good coverage at this stage of the season in hurling, football and camogie . I seem to remember 30 soccer matches being broadcast live and in full during June and July.

Maybe mediaman can no overbroad at times but he/she are correct about not just the level but also the tone of the coverage. There seems to be a attiude with some on here that we should be gratefull if gaa gets any coverage at all and keep your month shut. Rte have no problem covering a story when it is negative about the gaa. It seems rte are reducing there coverage of sport as a whole, it would be sad to see it go the same way as the BBC which has virtually no live sport ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 10/08/2016 19:36:00 1899595 Link 3 |

For there to be a bias the majority of RTE News and Sports viewers/listeners would want to exclusively want to watch/listen to coverage or news about GAA and no other sports. In my opinion they don't. I also don't think the majority of RTE viewers would rather watch the Connacht Final than the Olympics. You would, I would, more fool them for rather watching some athletes, many suspected of PED abuse, over a Connacht final but there's no accounting for taste. We're both from Connacht so maybe viewers from the other provinces have little interest in a Connacht final. But we're a minute fraction of a percent of a percent of RTE viewers. Say we have 200 posters on this thread, it's probably a lot less, and 80% of them are pro-GAA and anti other sports they're still a miniscule number compared to all RTE viewers and listeners. I think a large majority if GAA people like and participate in other sports. Mediaman argues against that by choosing whatever criteria suits his arguement on a given day. No consistent facts with data on the same criteria. Is it not biased to think that people who like GAA can't like other sports ? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7336 - 10/08/2016 20:49:35 1899624 Link 0 |
