OK. So apart from some brilliant club games on TG4 which unfortunately I can't watch in the UK it's a slow time of year.
I came across something recently- at one point in the States local NBC affiliate networks could only broadcast NFL matches if they sold out 72 hours before kick off.
So... Obviously that's unworkable in 2016. But how about offering a partial refund to broadcasters if the attendance figures for their televised games is over a certain per cent? Excluding All Ireland finals and Dublin matches. The idea being it might encourage them to plough more in to raising the profile of the matches.

The GAA themselves need to promote matches better too. If RTE were broadcasting August Bank Holiday quarter finals, the day the Dubs aren't playing there's usually less than 50,000. Between RTE and GAA extra promotions they could increase the crowd to 60,000, maybe attracting some neutrals. GAA have 10,000 extra tickets sold and they give RTE back the profit on 5,000 tickets.

Why can't RTÉ and TG4 be available in the UK?
Is that an RTE decision or a government decision?

As far as I know it's a rights issue. Don't think TG4 can broadcast matches in GB, Premier Sports show some League games.

Those games are particularly good examples. Poorly attended and poor media coverage for matches that usually involve in form teams with no rugby or football on the same weekend. Should be a major weekend to showcase our games and get a big crowd in Croker.
Sky don't EVER advertise GAA matches. The quarter finals should be a good chance to convert the uninitiated. Supposedly we sold out to Murdoch to spread the message abroad- hasn't happened.

And thousands of tourists around then, peak season for tourists. Many of them packed into from Cliffs to Lakes to Causeway, which are great and worth seeing. But they could also be seeing our amazing games and the craic before, during and after games. Proper Irish culture and not Ireland-in-a-tin model to churn out tourists like customers.
When the SKY deal was signed the GAA claimed it would help grow the game abroad. Would having visitors from abroad go to and appreciate our games not also help to grow the games ? The Yanks aren't shy encouraging us to go to NFL,NBA, MLB and NHL. We could take a lead from them to make a few more quid from our GAA stadia, part-funded by taxpayers money.

Lol as if Ormo will give reasoning. He just states his opinion as fact and then either ignores or abuses when questioned.

Monday night i was waiting to watch some NFL and usually before the program starts Sky will show a piece of (for example) Premier League action beforehand with the comment "SKY - Your home of Premier League Football"
Well this time they had a piece of action from the Armagh v Donegal Q/F from 2014 with the comment that Sky was your home of GAA...
Was the first time i had ever seen it and a strange time of the year to do it seeing as they have no GAA currently....

My point is the whole RTÉ package including TG4 should be available to people in U.K. Be it either freeview or through subscription.
After all every other nationality in U.K. Has access to their own TV channels so why not the Irish abroad?
