I remember there was a documentary on that Aran Island game but it was on tv3 or tg4 i think. Also had other parts about life on the island. Was very good. Might be available on web. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4624 - 03/03/2017 20:30:17 1963302 Link 0 |

That's one way of looking at it. Maybe they've taken onboard from feedback from different sources including forums like this one. Posters voice cing dissatisfaction with Sunday Game, League Sunday etc and making suggestions. I think that getting some ideas from viewers can only be a good thing.

I just heard the "sports news" on Newstalk 106. GAA matches were in 4th place. Also we heard that "Tyrone will go toe to toe with Cavan" and that Dublin will "tackle" Mayo. Why do these people hate the GAA so much? galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 04/03/2017 12:37:44 1963464 Link 1 |

It seems to have become fashionable to love rugby and hate the GAA. Especially among our media commentators and Rugbai Telefis Eireann. The YUPPIES have taken over the airwaves. Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 04/03/2017 14:00:00 1963489 Link 2 |

That's what's happening, RTE appear to be getting their act together for the inevitable down the road a bit, they want to make RTE sport more inclusive and appealing. This "Super 8" thing is the thin end of the wedge so to speak, and that came in on the back of "two" Sky deals, 2018/19 will see more changes, however small, my gut feeling tells me that the elite end of ticket pricing will change, and because of the extra super games more pay for view games will be more of a norm. The inevitable I see happening is RTE will merge with Sky, something like Aer Lingus and IAG, RTE is the only standalone national broadcaster that does not have broadband on offer, to merge with Sky would make some sense, they could hold on to their brand name as Aer Lingus did, for a given length of time. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2907 - 04/03/2017 14:00:44 1963490 Link 1 |

We'll see how it goes. Hopefully some new ideas might make even better GAA coverage.

Definitely. Brian is well known as a Young Upwardly Mobile Professional in his 60s. Along with all those who play/played rugby and GAA. Yuppies eh? I didn't realise it's 1983. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7342 - 04/03/2017 14:56:57 1963504 Link 0 |

Or maybe if you enlightened them with your sports broadcasting expertise they might push the boat out.

They're the ones with the big expertise (supposedly) & the salaries to match.

With a customer like you they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. At least if you want to complain use the right to reply to voice your opinion because no poster here will change GAA programming format because you tell us here how unhappy you are about it.

As if Ryle Nugent is going to listen to me! This is an Internet forum. What do you expect?
