Why should RTE be expected to host the national league? So many fans, pundits, players dont care for league so why should RTE? KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 27/04/2021 20:21:55 2339007 Link 2 |

What's your point? Should RTE have broadcast the AFLW instead of women's rugby?

How many of the cohorts that you mentioned have you spoken to to come to that conclusion?

Why should RTE be beholden to the GAA?

I'd rather pay a licence fee just to support TG4, Rte seems almost anti Irish at this stage, very strange. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2739 - 27/04/2021 22:10:06 2339024 Link 7 |

I think RTÉ Radio and RTÉ Radio sport and some RTÉ podcasts are very good. If independent Podcast makers can make a few quid from sponsors from free podcasts you'd wonder what the motivation is from some RTE TV top brass is when they're still in debt despite getting government subsidies, TV licence fee money, advertising revenue and income from any programmes sold on to other broadcasters. The Player sums up their lack of professionalism. A lot of money put in to a new look, there's some good content on it, but it doesn't stream well. Plenty of talented people in RTE and plenty of deadwood. They should sell RTE TV and let the new owner hire the sharpest applicants. TG4 is heavily subsidised too but has some great stuff, music, documentaries, kids TV, sport. Love him or loathe him Hector has some great stuff on TG4. Easier to stream with less conted granted, but the TG4 player streams well and let's you watch content online. Plus it promotes our native language. We should have an option to allocate portions of the TV licence money to broadcasters other than RTE Television.

They shouldn't be there's been no live GAA since January so commercially, RTE should be aware that there is a huge appetite to watch live games at the moment.

compare crowds at games, tv figures, social media interest look at media coverage of the league and what players and coaches have said about it in the past... they are all much lower for the league. the league is also finished before championship started.

There are still schools in Ireland that promote playing tennis, golf, hockey, rugby, basketball and even cricket, but not gaelic sports. RTE staff tend to come from these type schools and send their own children there, while TG4 staff come from schools that are more representative of the population. It would make an interesting study as to why this is still the case in some schools.

So what you actually meant to say was there is less interest in the league compared to the championship instead of saying people didn't care about it?

Nonsense. There is huge interest in the leagues, the games are often a lot more competitive and evenly matched than cmost championship games. As the OP says RTE have dedicated far more resources to obscure stuff like womens international rugby where there is absolutely zero interest if people were being honest HuddHastings (Longford) - Posts: 144 - 28/04/2021 11:24:49 2339073 Link 1 |

What a load of rubbish. How much basketball, cricket or golf do we see on RTÉ these days. Zero or very close to zero.

We are really crying out for a midweek GAA highlights show, with in-depth analysis (match of the day style almost). GAA2021 on TG4 is grand as is league Sunday but we need something more tbh. butterfly (Meath) - Posts: 112 - 28/04/2021 12:11:30 2339084 Link 3 |

Clearly there are also still people in Ireland who crave to be told what to do rather than make up their own minds on what sports they like to play, there are also plenty kids playing Gaelic sports who'd rather be playing other sports, but are just doing what they've been told to do by their parents. Maybe the better educated have cottoned on to the GAA, could that be a reason ?
