    Irish League - UTV

    What kind of a deal does the Irish League have with UTV ?? is that an annual deal where clubs get money or is it just the league itself ? Can anyone shine some light on this ??
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I thought it was BBC that the IL was on?

    I thought that UTV covered it too? I can remember seeing it a couple of times anyway. Could be wrong though ?
    Would they get any money from the BBC ??

    They're on both - BBC on Saturdays at 5:00, UTV more on weekdays. Still don't know about money though...Did you try the ILF site? (Link in the links section here)

    I'd say the IL gets very little TV money. BBC only shows highlights on Final Score on Saturday and on Season Ticket. Not sure what UTV show.

    The only live game is the Cup Final so maybe the teams in that get a nominal amount.
    I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
