2015 GAA TV Schedule

Colm R

Yeah - just checked. There is a marathon to the south of the town that day. Parts of the N71 to the south of the town will be closed that day up to 1pm. So an early throw in probably would cause chaos.

I assumed after the draw that it was going to be on this Saturday. Gutted after the match when we heard quickly it was going to be the 18th and resigned myself to the television - now it seems that is gone

Decisions - radio or deferred coverage?

The bigger counties tend to play more football than hurling which may explain the viewing figures discrepancy. It could also be the fact that there are slightly more important football than hurling matches (more provincial finals, semi finals and All Ireland quarter finals). I stand by the statement that, and this could still affect figures earlier in the summer when there is more choice, that football fans will, in general, watch hurling more than hurling fans will watch football.

But in general there are more football fans than hurling fans so that would balance up that.

The football final, semi finals and one of the quarter finals were the only matches to make it into the top 20 and hurling has all those games as well.

True enough. But I woiuld still say that the RTÉ marketing department knows what its doing. Simply because football does better in terms of viewing figures later in the summer doesn't mean it does so earlier on. To be honest, I don't know if what I'm saying is true or not, I'm just trying to suggest a logical reason. Being a hurling supporter, and knowing a lot of hurling supporters, I do know that those of us who also watch football are a much rarer breed than football fans who also watch hurling. Me, for example, I will only watch Cavan because I have family connections there, but generally speaking I don't bother and I know plenty of others who are similar. That football is more popular overall is clear as day, I would argue its because its easier to play, possibly also easier to understand. However, earlier in the summer where local rather than national interest prevails it might just be that the fact football fans generally will watch hurling tips the balance.

That said, I think there is more, far more, football on RTÉ than hurling. So I suppose it depends on personal bias. When there is a weekend with football and no hurling I have nothing to watch so I tend to notice it, whereas a hurling and no football weekend to me is something I enjoy so I don't notice it in the same way.

RTE are showing the Munster Final replay at 7pm - didn't see that coming - wonder what Sky will think?

they must have reached an agreement with Sky to show it at the same time

Or, they are just showing it without regard for Sky!

Hard to see how Sky would agree. No matter what game the Qualifiers throw up, hard to see many choosing to watch it over the Munster Final Replay.

very surprised at this.
Sky seem to have lost their 7pm slot that day. From the sky website:

SAT 18TH JULY
Live GAA
Football Championships, Sky Sports 5 HD (14:30), Sky Sports 5 HD (17:00)

Would have thought 7pm would be 'prime time' for showing a match.

But, were Sky always going to show two games that day? If they were only going to show one at 7pm, then maybe the compromise was to give them an extra game so that they agreed to broadcast at 5pm? EDIT - I see that Sky were always showing two games that day.

It's possible that RTE just decided to show the game and Sky had to react, but it's hard to see them being too happy if this was the case. Would imagine the GAA would have had to mediate here.

Sky had 2 matches for that day. The site says one match or matches before the fixtures are decided for each game day.

I guess Sky would take a pragmatic approach to it. Their bigger market is the UK and they are in this not to promote the game in the UK, but rather capture the Irish market there. So regardless of what time its on at, anyone who wants to watch it in the UK will watch it and will subscribe.

Likewise, I'd doubt the timing of this will increase or decrease the subscriptions in Ireland. Anyone who wants to watch GAA on Sky will have subscribed from the start of the summer.

Anyone know if the Fermanagh v Westmeath is on Sky Sports 5 which would suit me as I have a reduced Sports package which only has Sky Sports 1 and 5.

I can see that July 18 games are on Sky Sports 5 whereas the GAA games used to always be on Sky Sports 3

Thanks - Fermanagh v Westmeath is on Sky Sports 3 which means I am going to have to upgrade if I want to watch it

Look into a player called KODI, it's a bit complicated but sky sports etc. can be streamed free

Triple header of football on Saturday and all look like they will be good matches as well.

Can't wait foir it

Monaghan v Tyrone
All-Ireland SFC Quarter-Final, Sky Sports 5 HD (15:30)
Mayo v Donegal
All-Ireland SFC Quarter-Final, Sky Sports 5 HD (18:00)

Basically every game the rest of the year is on sky (barring replays which I don't know about) so that's me sorted and I don't have to look at Brolly one more time this summer.

So do GAAGO viewers get to choose which coverage, if Sky and RTÉ both show a game ?

nope, only RTE if last year is anything to go by

makes sense as its a service ran by RTE

munchkin_utd

probably no harm to mention that the ladies football is coming to the latter stages of the championship too, and theres live coverage on Saturday (possibly a benefit of the Sky deal that it leaves FTA TV for the ladies and camogie to profile their competitions!).
A local derby too in the first game
