Dodge any idea how many games the RTE contract is for this season?
I thought it was to increase to 30 including cup games.
Surprised not to see more of our games televised due to ease of setup in Thomond park. Maybe they just don't fancy a fairly empty 26,500 stadium on telly. We have only had two games televised this year.
Probably related to RTE belief that ye are playing in Jackman Park this season

Setanta announce that Derry v Pats and Bray v Pats will be shown live
Bray moved to a Thursday night
I kinda assume RTE will be showing that. If Setanta approached Pats about moving it to Thursday for live coverage, I'd be happy to hear they said no
Any hope of a first division game getting shown before the end of the season?
I remember a few being shown over the years.
Did Galway have one or two on TG4 when in the first division or was it after being promoted?
They showed us against Galway near the end of the 2006 season, after they showed us against Rovers in the Cup.
The only time I remember seeing a 1st div team live over the last few years was when Waterford played Sligo in the cup.
Last First Division game that was shown live on TV was Harps v Athlone in 2007, I believe.
Hi lads.
I was just wondering are there any of this weekends F.A.I. Cup games on T.V ?
Cheers lads.
I don't think so. Pats v DLK are live next Fri on RTE, then Bray v Pats on Setanta on Thurs 26th.
EDIT : Fixed the date for the Bray v Pats game now, but pity its not on the 19th !!!!!
Cheers Oriel.
Both Semi Finals and the Final will be live on RTE Two. Semi-finals will be shown as a double header on Sunday October 6th.
The superbly biased DLK FM sat afternoon show got terribly confused by all of this today. They had their panel on reviewing the weeks football and for some reason thought the double header (TV) meant it was a double header at the Aviva. A few texts later to clarify events, totally dismissed, and they discussed the logistics of having 4 sets of fans at the Aviva in one day.
Another brilliant line was during the second half last night, 5-1 up 'Ah I'm just fed up with this game now, its dead'...........then they started talking about the Pats game, for about 5 mins, and just didnt bother with the commentary.
Comedy Gold.
Would a double-header at the Aviva be a bad idea (apart from clubs losing home advantage)?
Cork City v Shelbourne live on Setanta Thursday 10th October.

RTE are showing St Pats title winning game against us on Sunday October 13th. 17.15 kick off.
How many games were shown this season so, seemed to be less games anyway
Was this the season we were supposed to have 33 live games?
18 games shown so far. 2 scheduled for next week.
Today's cup semis are the first FAI cup games to be shown.
