Ok not really but things stand as follows. I'm doing my thesis at the mo on the coverage afforded to the eircom league by the Irish media. I wanna poll eL supporters on their feelings on the issue. I really need at least 50 responses to make this workable so I'd really, really appreciate it if somebody could make this a sticky and anybody who can will take the time to fill it in themselves and urge others to do the same. Poll goes as follows:

Clue was in the question - no doubt that Newstalk is the best radio, but it ain't national....

SLK, i filled this out as best i could, but it's worth pointing out that there are publications and stations that do better EL coverage.
Newstalk106 is particularly good and offers live games streamed over the net. There are a list of stations that carry live games here. 'The Evening Echo' and 'The Evening Herald' both cover EL quite well.
