Newstalk = Complete Disaster

But isn't that part of the international coverage package?..... what could they use against NewsTalk?

There are international rights for the internationals too

Hate to say it but in terms of league coverage we have been cut adrift a good number of years in terms of profile of the league. I'm grateful for RTE's live coverage at the minute and the reasons have been explained previously. Ya can't help thinking the reason for doing so is half hearted and will as every other season start to wain as the season progresses.

The Newstalk issue has been done to death.We will get absolutely nothing and much as I hate the presenters on 'Off the Ball' its not their doing but rather the radio station's commercial decision.

Friday Sportsnight I suspect attracted a large number of exile fans of the league and it was always a fully committed league programme and I could even cope with the balance between rugby and LoI football because they accomodated both. I suspect the reason for them pulling it was more financial than anything to do with a rival station as Newstalk is not a rival station in terms of coverage. While I'm aware RTE are currently doing league coverage (though it galls me on choice of panelists) as a national broadcaster serving all sections of the community our league deserves a dedicated radio schedule segment as much as it deserves a TV slot and schedule.

I drove home from oriel pk last night and from 9.40 to 10.00 not one mention of any LOI prem result, can anyone else confirm if they read out results from 9.30 to 9.40 before I send off a complaint to one of the lges top tier sponsor

I didn't hear it anyway

[the-blue-harp]

anyone get any replies when complaining about lack of coverage to newstalkfm?

[ger121]

No and sent mails to both newstalk and off the ball

[oriel]

Yes, I did, I complained re last tues night and they wrote back to me within an hour, said they listended back to the show and they did mention LOI results from 9,30 -10

In my frustration I switched over so i cant be sure if they were correct, so i just left it, im still not convinced they are even 50% behind LOI

rte radio one on fri nights is badly missed

On the way home tonight, correct me if im wrong, but i heard no mention of any league of ireland results. I tuned in at around 9 45. Anyone else get this?
