RTE 2 9 3 - - 2 - 14
Setanta 14 - 10 1 0 4 29
TG4 10 4 - - - 3 17
So when would we like to see the highlights show broadcast?
Maybe on a Saturday straight after the Premiership? Or before it?
Or a Sunday evening when there's never anything else on anyway?
Midweek?
Hopefully it'll be given a prime time slot anyway.
I'd imagine the 36 game season will be played over 33 weeks.Quote:

I've been able to watch matches live via rte.ie. I hope this statement doesn't mean that matches will only be available to me on a deferred basis.
Monday is grand for the highlights. DO NOT have it near the premiership. It looks awful comapred to that
Yeah, suppose it does look awful compared to the premiersh!t, which get's me to thinking, wonder what kind of camera set up RTE will utilize, hope its not the TV3 idea of send us your home movies.Quote:

Great news though .... They would nearly be like a real National Broadcaster if this happens.
John Delaney quotes: "weekly one-hour prime-time highlights programme."Quote:

My pick would be on Sunday, but the GAA will no doubt object to that as that is traditionally their night during the summer.
The GAA may soon be going to TV3 but nothing is for certain yet.Quote:

Thursday is our winner so, can't see RTE wanting to break up their successful comedy night. Although putting it on at 8pm on Monday would work treat.....Quote:

Monday is the night!
If you leave it any later then nobody really cares about a highlights show as you have the next weeks games on your mind.
Sunday night would be great but can't see it happening.
It'd clash with Eastenders on monday Mrs raptor would never let me watch it on the big telly:mad:
On 2nd thoughts Mini raptor2 is due around the start of the season so she'll be getting him down around that time... cool
8 on a monday would be class,
used to be when the nfl and italian football were show on rte2
