What matches are on tv.

tom_tarbucket

Hello

Does anyone know a website where it details what gaa matches are televised and what channel they are on, be it rye or sky.

Like for example, the Gakway / Kilkenny replay game on Saturday, I can't find out if that's on tv or not.

And then the following week, trying to find out if the winners of Gakway v Kilkenny V Tipp is on tv.

More than likely there is a commitment from Sky to show a qualifier this weekend

Pity 99% of people would like to see the replay versus a qualifier but I am sure RTE can not show a game at the same time as sky

Sky are committed to showing the Ulster football semi final between rmagh and Monaghan this weekend. It's at 7 on Saturday evening too.

Apparently it is written into the rights that 2 GAA games can't be on opposing channels at the same time

Thats not the case. The GAA did not allocate rights to the replays. They didn't have to clash and even if they did, it didnt matter in the past as RTE had the rights and have and did broadcast them in tandom with other games RTE were broadcasting, even if it was just streaming.

Sky have the rights to another GAA game kicking off at the same time (Monaghan v Armagh in the football). Will they allow another game be broadcast at the same time on another channel ? No.

Another great reason why they shouldn't have been allowed the rights in the first place. Bad enough that only 18,000 people watched the last game Sky had. The Galway - Kilkenny game last weekend broadcast on RTE attracted 330,000 viewers!

Perhaps the penny will now drop with the Sky apologists who thought Sky was good for the game.

which is kindof a sensible clause

A station isnt going to bid and make a contract for covering a game if their allocated game is gazumped at the last minute by another televised fixture.

And as much as folks dislike sky and see them as the knub of the problem, it was also the case for TV3 in the past deal, that they wouldnt allow RTE reduce their potential audience + upset advertisers.

TV3 wouldn't have allowed it either. It's not just Sky.

indeed, massive TV audience and a very modest 12000 through the gate.

next weekend there should be more, but only because it isnt televised.

And if you look to the league of ireland soccer, the clubs are now against having the games televised as it kills attendances which are the lifeblood of the paying the bills of the sport.

12,548 to be exact. 12 and half thousand would be poor if the game was on in Croke Park, but it wasnt. It was played O Connor Park in Tullamore the capacity of which is not a whole lot more.

That the viewing audience was a HUGE multiple of the capacity of the stadium makes shít of that ridiculous argument.

Soccer, don't compare fecking league of Ireland soccer with GAA. The audience figures and attendance numbers for GAA have always trounced it, especially when it wasnt behind a paywall.

More croneyism from the GAA, what can the ground hold? 25k? Even Duignan said where the hell would the extra 10k fit? Few bob in the phoca

Less than 20,000 and it looked fairly full to the gills to me. The point about this is that these gate arguments don't fly. Neither does the argument giving Sky rights will bring more viewers and be great for the game. It has done the opposite in huge multiples.

Highest viewing on Sky 3 32,000 (first weekend). Last week 18,000. Reason: Pay wall depriving the Irish people of what they want to watch as seen by the audience figures on FTA RTE. Solution: Dont sell off the rights for not a whole lot more than was being offered by the competitors who were going to provide it on a free to air basis, just to keep them in check.

GAA is not a niche sport in Ireland. Putting the championship behind a pay wall might just do that. I am sure the irony has not been lost on the vintners who are being asked to pay an extra 8% to Sky from August.

Another reason they got bad viewing is simply down to the fact that the games they have so far are fairly sh1t. Like Offaly V Kilkenny - you wont get a lot of neutrals tuning in to watch that.

It's not Sky's fault that the replay was fixed for the same time as their game. Why not schedule it for 4pm and then everything can be shown?

irish derby in the evening and world cup games at 5pm on RTE.
http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/kilkenny-galway-replay-will-not-be-screened-1.1842659

It is believed that Leinster Council did consult with RTÉ but because of a very busy diary on Saturday – the first of the World Cup knockout matches is on at 5pm whereas the Irish Derby from the Curragh is also being televised on Saturday evening – the only time at which the match could start and be screened was 2.30pm.
Neither Galway nor Kilkenny were happy with that, as it would inconvenience their supporters and the council was also mindful of the impact of match traffic on a Saturday afternoon in a provincial town.

It hasnt been RTE's fault either in the past, but at least they have covered those replays, in parallel with what they originally had planned broadcasting!

IF RTE had the rights, they would at least stick it on a stream on their website like they have done for other games (this year and last year) when they have other GAA games already scheduled.

Sky are not going to allow that because it might take away from their 18,000 viewers that may watch the Armagh Monaghan game. And Sky arent going to put a stream up on their website either. This is what happens when you allow pay only subscription companies in. They care about subscribers, not the game or who they píss off.

and, is it sky which is supressing the showing of the Cavan v Westmeath Qualifier or the other 5 football and hurling qualifiers which will not be shown over the next couple of weeks, which is among the 50+ championship games which will not be shown live ?

That Galway v Kilkenny is not shown live is in one sense a pity, on the other hand its just one game among 50+ which will not be shown live on any platform.

Address the inaccuracies and píss poor arguments that you have been called on first before you attempt to turn the discussion another way to distract from the issue at hand.

Then we will deal with that.

Inconvenience 12000 fans who will be going to the game or the (apparently) 4/500,000 who would watch it mid afternoon?

It's too easy to blame Sky when there are other issues at play here.

I'd say RTE would have streamed it had they been allowed. They have in the past. Infact a few weeks back they did just that in parallel to the other GAA match being shown on RTE1. The same day they were broadcasting live racing from the Curragh on RTE2.

The only other issues at hand is the few accounts trying to post the same "nothing to see here, please move along" messages.
