Just curious if there's some deal been made between the two broadcasting station's for this year as Sky Sports seem to continually showing more hurling over football in comparison to RTE? Sky Sports have already had exclusive rights to Clare v Limerick, Wexford v Kilkenny and Kilkenny v Limerick. And now following this morning's draw, Sky sports will be airing Kilkenny v Waterford while RTE will show Mayo v Clare in the football.

Or is it purely coincidence that Sky Sports keep showing the hurling games?

And is it a policy of rte to show all mayo games live?? Meath v donegal I thought was a gimme to show live out of the two of the football games

I dunno what way they have divided it up. But I see Sky Sports have both 3B football qualifiers live. So RTE will have the pick of the hurling that weekend.
The 3B qualifiers are likely to be Ulster heavy with probably Monaghan, Armagh, possibly Cavan if they beat Tipp too involved. Also Carlow/Leitrim winner will be the 4th team.
