While the new production's place in the schedule is not yet confirmed, it's understood that a sometime between 7-9.0 on Monday has been earmarked.
Agreed. Their previous effort at a highlights programme was very good. Hopefully they'll pick off where they left off...

From the same link:That'll be nearly two games a week.Meanwhile, Setanta are still committed to showing 15 eircom League games next year and TG4 will broadcast 10 in addition to cup games.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
RTÉ won't be showing a game a week until the 2013 season. The press release doesn't say how many they will show next season.Originally Posted by Schumi

This is true.
Irish Mail on Sunday (and no I don't work for them or buy the paper, they just happen to be the only Sunday tabloid arsed to cover the LOI) says that €4m is expected to be invested in the show over the course of the next few years. I know nothing of TV or match filming production costs. Is that a good figure?
look at this way its 4 million more than was previously being spent on the Eircom league, so cant be bad
We control by attitudes positive mental attitudes not by rules.
Another paper is saying the FAI turned down an RTÉ bonus payment to have it spent on the show instead. I don't know the details exactly.
FAI in turning down hard cash shocker
The FAI play a blinder in the eligibility row / Tallagh stadium row
Now this
Credit where credit is due!
relax dont give them too much praise, they may get overcome with emotion and appoint someone like venables

RTÉ have done this before?
Back in the 90s. Can't remember what the programme was called off the top of my head though
Probibly along the lines of "The Premiersh.. league of Ireland?"
It was later than that - around 2001 anyway. It was on at 7 on a Sunday. I remember beating Rovers 1-0 away (John Martin scored a cracker from 25 yards and Bazza saved a penalty), and getting back to the Montrose in time to see the extended highlights as the main match. It was exactly what we need - one main match, highlights of all the other games and proper camera angles. I remember Dundalk hammering Kilkenny in the Cup in Buckley Park being shown, and they even made that look good!
(LR - you may be thinking of the previous previous incarnation back in the mid 90s. Don't remember much of that - wasn't it on at 10 or so of a Monday?)
Which was the one were they had the journos sitting round discussing the games in an empty stand? Can't remember which one it is I'm thinking of
That was another one again - The Soccer Show, on of a Saturday morning (maybe midday).
I'm quite pleased to see the FAI actually doing something very positive for Irish domestic football. Hopefullly if RTE do this correctly we can finally begin to expand the league to a wider audience. As has previously been mentioned the key to this is filming the matches in a professional looking manner, i.e. not only using one shaky camera.
agreed....and ahve the sound right, all i can think about when i think of irish football progs is one dodgy camera, no sound from the match and a snippit of some hurling match put on repeat over and over "hurrrahhh...C'mon the banner...haurrahhhh" as bohs score
RTE 2 is the best deal as you will always get more people watching than TV3 or Setanta.
