Not sure really. Prob not much will change. As someone who has no great inside knowledge of the industry I find it hard to understand some contracts.
At the time the GAA said they went with Sky because of no HD on TV3 and the international aspect that Sky could bring. They said it was not about money!!! TV3 now have HD so why not give them the same package as Sky if they want it and let Sky have the British and whatever other international rights they have now? Another thing I do not know is how good Sky's viewing figures are. How happy are they with them? How low would they have to go for Sky to want pull out? |

GAA should expand GAA Go to the UK instead of Sky Sports
I hope TV3 and Eir Sport can take the rights from Sky Sports in Ireland. They also take more live rights from the stale broadcaster, RTEtv. |

TV 3 ok but it needs to go HD on Saorview. Certainly not Eir Sports as its a niche channel here in NI with I guess very few subscribers. It is obviously not part of a broadband package here in NI.

Sky Sports should be given full non exclusive right with RTÉ and TV3/UTV being host broadcasters in Ireland... give everyone a piece of the action and keep the games free for people in Ireland and give full exposure in the UK.

I hope no pay tv operator gets the rights. The GAA as an amateur organisation should be available FTA to all members. Give Sky Sports non exclusive rights for the UK if need be.

What a load of poppycock. Plenty of amateurs organisations out there that have to be on pay TV channels.

You clearly have no idea about how the GAA works. Do tell me why the GAA have to be on pay tv in Ireland. If you can't then please take your poppycock and keep going.
The BDO is am amateur darts organisation. Half of its showpiece event is on subscription television. No different. |

Erm, do a little research into the GAA and the reach it has in Ireland. No darts organisation would be in the same league, especially a tin pot group like the BDO. The fact that you think they can be compared is ludicrous and again shows you have no idea what you are on about.

Per TV Sports Markets:
"RTÉ and Sky set to retain GAA rights - report" "Ireland’s Gaelic Athletic Association is set to strike a five-year extension to its rights deals with public-service broadcaster RTÉ and pay-television broadcaster Sky, according to the Irish Independent." Note: 5 year deal, rights previously sold in 3 year deals. http://www.sportbusiness.com/sport-n...-rights-report |

So where does this leave Premier Sports who have been covering GAA for couple of years?

Pretty much as you were. The only difference being RTE has exclusive radio rights and Newstalk lose out. I'm surprised SKY didn't try and get a fairer share of the games, aside from the shared games with RTE, the rest of their picks are fairly cack.
