    Thumbs up FAI Cup Final TV Ratings this year!

    from aertel 369 (rte1)

    NETWORK 2 DAY VIEWERS
    1 Father Ted Mon 275 000
    2 Home And Away Wed 211 "
    3 PREMIERSHIP SAT 208 "
    4 Trigger Happy Mon 200 "
    5 Home And Away Mon 200 "
    6 Total Recall Thu 190 "
    7 Sopranos Tue 177 "
    8 Total Recall Thu 174 "
    9 FAI CUP FINAL SUN 173 "
    10 Rambo: First Blood Sun 169 "

    I know you'd get expect the biggest game of the eL season to get a good tv showing but most weeks the Premiership doesn't even get 173k get alone into the top 10.

    That 208k is one of the higher ratings for the Premiership this year.

    Not bad. I don't suppose we know how many the TV3 highlights are getting?
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    I'd be more interested in TV3's ratings, RTÉ never gave a toss anyway.
    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 think might be a good idea for the future to have separate deals for the league & cup.

    TV3 get the league & RTE get the FAI Cup with minimum levels of live matches etc.... built into each - if RTE can't show the semis & a couple of other games live next year no point in giving them the cup final.
