Irish Times: eL stance on sky/tv3 tv deal

[pete]

It only took 10 days but heres the first article asking the eL waht it thinks of the sky tv deal.

IT: eL supports tv deal (http://www.ireland.com/sports/soccer/2002/0716/loi1.htm)

A disgrace that the media have failed to ask anyone but "Alan Hunter" & his ficticious supporters club what they think of the sky/tv3 tv deal.

:rolleyes:

has been very negative generally towards the FAi and their taking the sky tv money. what was on Saturdays (i think) irish times sports suppliment? a half page colour ad for the new premiership on sky sports! bet they got a fair amount of cash for that! double standards??:rolleyes:

In fairness no newspaper can be too choosey who they accept ads from. Actually is not a bad thing to have a different editorial line from the ads they accept.

I haven't noticed much difference in any of the media attitude to the sky deal - except of course RTE who have been dragging it out shamefully through any programme they can fit it into.
