Agreed. Their previous effort at a highlights programme was very good. Hopefully they'll pick off where they left off...

While the new production's place in the schedule is not yet confirmed, it's understood that a sometime between 7-9.0 on Monday has been earmarked.
From the same link:That'll be nearly two games a week. :eek:Quote:
Meanwhile, Setanta are still committed to showing 15 eircom League games next year and TG4 will broadcast 10 in addition to cup games.
RTÉ won't be showing a game a week until the 2013 season. The press release doesn't say how many they will show next season.Quote:

I know nothing of TV or match filming production costs. Is that a good figure?
look at this way its 4 million more than was previously being spent on the Eircom league, so cant be bad
Another paper is saying the FAI turned down an RTÉ bonus payment to have it spent on the show instead. I don't know the details exactly.
FAI in turning down hard cash shocker :eek: What next, Bertie applying for the kiddies super saver account??Quote:

It was exactly what we need - one main match, highlights of all the other games and proper camera angles. I remember Dundalk hammering Kilkenny in the Cup in Buckley Park being shown, and they even made that look good!
(LR - you may be thinking of the previous previous incarnation back in the mid 90s. Don't remember much of that - wasn't it on at 10 or so of a Monday?)
Which was the one were they had the journos sitting round discussing the games in an empty stand? Can't remember which one it is I'm thinking of
That was another one again - The Soccer Show, on of a Saturday morning (maybe midday).
I'm quite pleased to see the FAI actually doing something very positive for Irish domestic football. Hopefullly if RTE do this correctly we can finally begin to expand the league to a wider audience. As has previously been mentioned the key to this is filming the matches in a professional looking manner, i.e. not only using one shaky camera.
agreed....and ahve the sound right, all i can think about when i think of irish football progs is one dodgy camera, no sound from the match and a snippit of some hurling match put on repeat over and over "hurrrahhh...C'mon the banner...haurrahhhh" as bohs score :rolleyes:Quote:
