Hopefully they don't end up splitting rights between multiple providers So you will need multiple subscriptions As an overseas viewer I love that fact that one GAAGO sub means I can watch all games, pretty much anywhere in the world, except in some cases Ireland ( I travel for work 3-4 times a year) I get the competition argument but GAAGO and streaming is a godsend. I remember when you used to have to go to a pub on a Sunday morning, pay $20 to watch a game. With family commitments now without streaming I would hardly ever watch a game. And the annual sub is great value. Yadse (Limerick) - Posts: 64 - 08/08/2024 16:37:23 2564287 Link 1 |

"Virgin Media Television are delighted to announce a partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming season We will broadcast three of the Steelers pre-season games starting this Friday night. Plus, the Mike Tomlin Show will air across the NFL season" These games were on GAAGo last season Kew (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 08/08/2024 18:50:25 2564298 Link 0 |

They have hosted GAA in the past. Can't see a reason they can't do it again

Last time round, Virgin Media said they'd only be interested in live GAA if they could buy a "ready to air" package - i.e. they'd be sent the signal, so they'd only have to press the button to show it, and provide commentators and pundits. Basically the way RTE operates with the Olympics or other major international events. Virgin Media had no interest in having to provide cameras and Outside Broadcast crews and all the rest themselves. It would take a major change in thinking for them to be a real runner this time.

How are they covering LOI?? Parkinson not always the most reliable and a man who likes to burn bridges with previous employers, mentioned they messed him around having a smallerfish show on virgin. He did 1 episode last year and they wouldn't provide him with enough cameras to film piece with paudi Clifford jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1315 - 09/08/2024 10:49:48 2564358 Link 0 |

I don't know how they're covering LOI, and to be frank, I didn't even know they're covering it, as I've little or no interest in soccer. If they're doing it the "ordinary" way by sending out their own cameras and crews, then maybe they've had that change of heart regarding sports coverage after all, and that might bring them back into the mix for GAA matches. But what I said was definitely the sticking point with them the last time. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2668 - 09/08/2024 11:46:00 2564369 Link 1 |

They're taking the Watch LOI feed. Every LOI game is streamed live.

Hurling isn't cool now. New rules football is cool. The Champions League will be cool tonight. Rugby will be cool on Saturday. The broadcasters want their audience to be Cool and the Gang. I blame the parents..... GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7727 - 29/01/2025 14:12:38 2588364 Link 0 |

Well, that's answering one from a few months back, but it does answer it. It's further evidence that's how Virgin Media operate all right. They'll push a button to show a feed that somebody else is providing, but they won't send out cameras/crews/etc. themselves, and that's the thing that means they're really not a runner for showing GAA matches.
