RTE secure rights - T.V Rights dispute for France away 2nd leg

[TheOwl]

Eurosport wouldn't have that kind of money.

True - but Eurosport is owned by TF1 so they might put it on there if they can't do a deal anywhere else.

[SuperDave]

I don't care cos I'll be there, doo dah, doo dah
I don't care cos I'll be there, doo dee doo dah day. Hay!

Actually, still waiting on the tickets arriving in the post..... getting a little worried tbh

[paul_oshea]

got mine dhl'd yesterday
someone txtd me the same and i replied with the same response Dave.

[Scram]

CR - I believe both games are on Setanta Premium (and setanta-i) in the US (and I would expect the same in Canada). They may have sold a share in the rights to TV5 but I suspect that was only to cater for French-speaking viewers (and to make a few quid on the side).

Personally, I can't stand watching the game in the pub because, as someone mentioned above, you end up standing beside some idiot who thinks he's an expert but doesn't even know the players. Thankfully I will not be in New York for these games as I'll be in Croker and the Stade de France instead :)

Sorry, I'll stand beside someone else next time :(

don't knock eurosport.. rte programme line up for wednesday night 18th on rte 2 .. borneo's pygmy elephants 7pm & oceans at 8pm followed by law & order at 9pm :D:D jesus lets hope they agree a deal to show match .

[tetsujin1979]

according to NewsTalk, there is no progress on getting coverage for the game.
RTE won't pay the price they've been quoted from French TV
TV3 are not bidding
Sky are looking into the interest in the game following the result yesterday

[MeathDrog]

Slightly off topic, but did anyone else see some French TV broadcaster trying to do a news report in a front garden just outside the gates of the cusack?? Vry funny. they were getting awful abuse.

Having a few bits and bobs thrown at them too, though nothing too serious from what I saw on my way past.

Sky Sports were interviewing fans around Dublin yesterday throughout the day. They found a group of French fans who barely let the reporter get a word in as they loudly and proudly sang La Marseillaise. There was a brief pause as the last rising, defiant note rang out in the Dublin air, before some presumably unimpressed passer-by interjected with, "Up the Rovers!"

[elroy]

After last nights result, id imagine RTE arent too keen on upping their bid any further.

[finbarrk]

Sky Sports 1 and Setanta Ireland both have W.C. qualifier on their schedules but they aren't saying what games they are showing. T.B.C. it says.
ESPN have the Slovenia game advertised.

i think setanta are showing the portugal game

[twoenz]

This is still to be sorted then?

[DeNiro]

Is there a cut off point when a decision will have to be made about this? Surely it won't go up until the day of the game? Therefore, should we know tomorrow?

on the rte news earlier it said there had been slight progress in negotiations this morning and a decision would have to be made by tomorrow evening

[Leeside Swagger]

Newstalk are in negotiation for the radio rights. Havent heard anything about TV rights yet.

[SUB of the day]

T O D reporting on six 1 that a deal is now much closer:)

I thought RTE had the Radio rights - they are certainly broadcasting the game on Radio 1 on Wednesday night anyway.

No, that's still being negotiated as well.

[ptegan]

The admins over at myp2p so far have no info on any streamers for this game.

[The Optimist]

Sky Sports 1 have it advertised for tomorrow night.

[Tipp Townie]

I so hope you're right. I'm going to be MILES from any of south london's finest illegal RTE feeds.. and watching it on the internet sucks

[Tipp Townie]

Can't see it on the Sky website yet?

[Sproston Green]

Can't see it on the Sky website yet?

No, just noticed that myself. I don't think I can handle changing the proxy server and watching online so fingers crossed Sky have it

[The Optimist]

Can't see it on the Sky website yet?

I checked the sky programme planner and they have it there.

[Tipp Townie]

I checked the sky programme planner and they have it there.

Sounds good.. I guess the website just isn't updated yet?

Still says "International TBA" and "Undefined" on the website SS tv guide.

[Sproston Green]

There's no cut-off point. For the game in Turkey, negotiations continued until ko time.
