    i've just noticed this new rolling news service on RTÉ.ie

    www.rte.ie/newsnow

    it's very handy ... streams latest news and weather bulletins with on-screen updates

    seems to be part of www.rte.ie/live ... basically an online tv service. I see people in my office watching home and away at their desks at lunchtime ... :rolleyes:

    new season promo here: http://www.rte.ie/tv/newseason/index.html
    nice graphics package :cool:

    Why are most RTÉ streams blocked for those of us outside of Ireland during the Olympics?
    Because of the requirements put on RTÉ's contract for the Olympics.
    Who came up with this requirement?
    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) made this a requirement.
    Why not just block the Olympics themselves?
    Because the restriction is not just limited to highlights of the Games, but it expands to any footage filmed within the 'accredited' area or interviews conducted within the 'accredited' area. For instance, if Pat Kenny was to interview an Irish person via a mobile phone and they happened to be in an official Olympic car, we cannot play that interview outside of Ireland.
    Realistically, this means we need to block all live streams, radio and television, because we cannot monitor all of the streams 24 hours.
    Did you try and appeal?
    Yes. The EBU made a number of appeals to the IOC, but was rejected.
    How can I complain?
    Send an email to the Beijing Committee's Media and Communications representative xuanchuan@beijing2008.cn
    Or call the International Olympic Committee in Switzerland directly at +412162161

    Hi TvWatcher, you already posted this news on August 15th and you've mentioned that new season link in at least 4 of your 14 posts so far. Do you work for RTE?
