Question for RTE....

[pete]

Did RTE bid against tv3 for the Delayed 'as live' coverage of the internationals & eL tv rights?

Nice to see Tv3 seem to be suggesting (however unlikely) they got the internationals as bonus on the eL contract.

Maybe people should be asking why RTE lost that section of the tv rights?

It's interesting that TV3 have been pushing their EL contract far more than the delayed international rights.

Yup, good to see as RTE have never treated as anything other than an inconcevience.

Tv3 may yet turn out as bad or worse than RTE but they seem to be saying they've costed the eL coverage & obviously wouldn't have taken oin if not a commercial product........
