iv never watched the Premiership and agree its a waste but in your original post you lamented RTE not showing some Cricket match, the cycling and the Irish soccer teams in Europe who only attract a couple of thousand to their home games.
I would like the Captains prize at Limerick Golf club televised but at the end of the day RTE need to balance the books.

RTE used to have extensive coverage of the Tour De France. The viewing figures obviously weren’t stacking up, or otherwise they would surely have continued with it?

But it doesn’t even appear to balance the books HBV! They spent huge money on it yet the viewing figures are really poor. Don’t think its too much to ask them to cover the cycling, cricket etc as cost would be minimal and they serve a public interest.

therefore no GGA league games should be shown:clap:
are you saying they should pump the money into cycling and cricket instead or is it just that those are the sports you watch yourself?
[quote=“north county corncrake”]
other fact is that more people have watched shamrock rovers on tv this season than every gga game combined[/quote]
I’v said this before…More people will attend Tipp v KK on the 6th than will attend Scumrock Rovers entire Home Programme of games this year.
What a small, minority sport LOI is.

if Tipp and KK threw open the doors they would get more in attendance at their training sessions than Shamrock are getting for home league games.

I didn’t know Ireland and Italy were playing LOI this year or that Rugby was in LOI now…fooking 'ell…I must try harder.
Well they were offered cricket for free and cycling rights for virtually nothing. They pay millions (maybe tens of millions) to show EPL so cost of covering it versus cycling and cricket isn’t comparable.
if ever proof were needed NCC is deserving of the “ignore” function, it’s this thread.
huh?
Out of interest Larry, would you happen to know what the viewing figures are like for the Tour De France on TG4…
You seem to be some sort of retard
Thats a good point actually. You would have to take into account the production costs for the likes of the cricket though.
Wouldn’t be overly taxing I would say.
doesnt the cricket go on all day?
how do you suppose rte would fit it into its schedule?

Postpone other programmes for one day. Its a once off match.
