RTE and TV3's Championship Coverage

KeithReilly

Does anyone know if RTE and TV3's championship coverage has been annouhed yet and if not when is going to be?

Also is the Fermanagh Cavan match on a saturday and possibly on TV? I'm neither a Cavan or Fermanagh man by the way before someone tells me I should be at the game

I am pretty sure RTE show games on saturday's. Think they call it the saturday game.

Yeah they are taking their time announcing their live coverage of the matches.

Maybe over the coming few days they'll announce something

First game of the new championship im sure Rte will be showin it live. Just check the rte guide on their website for details or even email them.

I would wait a week before contacting RTE or TV3. They are very much battling for rights still and all will not be certain until mid-May.

Middle of next week they will announce details , think they are having problems agreeing

Not being a native or supporter of either teams does not preclude you from attending. If you are in the area, then go. Failing that, you'll have to wait until the schedules come out to know.

the GAA should give games to TG4 since they do more than themselves or anyone else to promote Gaelic games.

At end of Sunday sport last night they announced the 1st live games on RTE will be on 16th May and are showing a game from munster and ulster football championship. Only games on that day are Derry and Armagh in Ulster and Kerry and Tipp in Munster.

TV3 ANNOUNCES GAA FIXTURE LIST FOR THE 2010 CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON


Two Provincial finals - Exclusively Live

Dublin's Championship Opener Live only on TV3

TV3 to show "first pick" matches from the football qualifiers

TV3 today announced details of its ten exclusively live GAA Championship matches for 2010.

The TV3 cameras will be live at Croke Park for Dublin's Championship opener with Wexford on 13 June. TV3 will be the only place for Live Championship action on Sunday 20 June. All Ireland Champions Kilkenny begin their title defence against either Dublin, Carlow or Laois and that's followed by a Munster Hurling Semi-Final as Limerick await the winners of Cork and Tipperary.

There is another Championship double header the following Sunday, 27 June, with two provincial semi-finals. In Leinster there is the
potential for a Meath against Dublin clash while in Connacht Mayo or Sligo will face Galway. In July, the Munster Senior Football Final and the Connacht Senior Football Final will be broadcast exclusively live on TV3.

TV3 has "first pick" rights in the decisive qualifying rounds of the Football Qualifiers. Will the 2010 All Ireland Champions come through
the back door just as Kerry did last year? TV3 Sports Editor, Kieran Holden said: "We're really excited to be heading into our third season of broadcasting live championship action. We hope to build on what we achieved in 2008 and 2009 and make 20-10 the
best year yet for championship football and hurling on TV3."
