I would say the choice of game to show was left open like the way the decision which Munster tie to show tomorrow on RTĆ wasnāt decided until the significance of either game was known. Iām surprised the WX v KK game isnāt at least on GAAGo though.
You just mentioned wexford and box office in the same sentence

The shroods are watching on IPTV
Extremely pathetic numbers. No wonder they havenāt been released till now.
People canāt complain too much.
The product is woeful.
The format is shite.
Thereās no real build up or coverage of the games.
I wouldnāt expect anything else and itās only going to get worse too.
Accidentally amusing report by MicheƔl Lehane on the GAAGO aspect of that Oireachtas Committee meeting today. Signed off with an acknowledgment from the GAA that not all people can access GAAGO & a vow from them to see whether their clubhouses can be used to boost the signal in these areas with poor broadband.
Theyāre going bust with this.

It was confirmed that sky didnt want them
Was there any figures on the profits of GAAgo this year?
Is it more than Sky which a lot of people have or can be watched down the pub without it glitching.
Micheal Lester telling it like it is here
Split season and fixture congestion to blame
I doubt thats true
Iāve seen there in the examiner they had income of ā¬4,000,000.
Iād imagine production costs would be half of that so a profit of over 2 million. Werenāt they getting the same amount off Sky previously.
Half the profit to RTE too probably.
Thatās the real scandal.
Iād imagine production costs would be a good bit less. 42 games they are saying the 4 mill is based off. That would be ā¬50k a game. Maybe for the big ones but the tailteann games with a couple of cameras Iād say ā¬10k a game would be plenty. Iād say closer to a mill blended costs. Plus probably another half a mill for other costs like website servers etc. Itās a nice profit tbf
Iād imagine the deal is rte cover the costs and they split the profit. So itās all gravy for the gaa really. Although should that have gone to a tender of some sort? Almost certainly
They were surely losing money on all those games with 1,000 to 1,500 viewers.
Wonder how much of the ā¬4m income came from advertising too. Hard for advertisers to keep that up when theres no one watching.
