**don ramo** · 21/12/2007, 1:21 PM

the FAI signed a new deal with RTE today that will have RTE showing a primetime highlights show each week, and increaseing there coverage of the LOI to 36 live games by 2013, this is great news for rams as it guartantees live tv coverage, which in turn lets us ask more of our sponsors now that there advertised internationally due to games having a delayed broadcast on the web,

last year they said each club was on tv 3 times, with this extended coverage that could increase to 4 if not 5 next year,

also TV3 are suppose to have a preview show on thursday night,

Excellent news. When I read it on teletext i had a smile on my face.
No more Paul Osam!
Its great. A live game every week surely that means were guaranteed at least 2 or 3. I'm thinking Rams vs Cork City at St. Colemans, Rams vs City at the Cross and something like Rams vs Harps.

It has been confirmed that it will be "prime time". I'm not sure what prime time means exactly though to RT�.

That was nothing but a sports magazine show. That was more like Champions League Weekly. I seem to remember them doing a profile Stephen Ireland after he'd won one of the Bobby Charlton soccer schools.
I vaguely remember the Pakie Kelly show. Was that done to acknowledge his 300th league appearence for Ramblers.
