OVER 1.5 MILLION sports fans tuned in at the peak of yesterday’s Sunday Game Live coverage of the All-Ireland final on RTÉ Two, TV figures have revealed.
Meanwhile, an average of 1,041,000 viewers watched the game that saw Dublin claim their second All-Ireland SFC title in three years.
The figures represented a 74% share of those watching television at the time.
In addition, a peak audience of 1.542 million viewers watched the game.
Except those abroad. RTE player abroad consists of mass, lotto, nationwide. Pure shite.
Shame RTE region blocks its service for an All Ireland final given the amount of people who have been forced to emigrate.
This has nothing to do with RTE. GAA have sold their international rights to premium sport.
Before talking bollocks – at least know something about the bollocks you’re talking
No one is forced to emigrate…people choose to.
@paul, seems you have an axe to grind with the RTE player, did you not take my advice on how to get the match on the RTE player while abroad??? Seems you prefer to complain than to actually follow my solution.
What way u work it Larry? Used a VPN and got onto aertv myself. Works a treat
@Tiger, any way that works its great. I signed up to ‘unblock us’ for a free trial, this lets the rte player think you’re in Ireland, then watch the match as if your at home, in good quality, VIP box quality isn’t great, also I think the GAA matches are no longer available on it.
I don’t have a TV anymore, I threw it out of the window when “up for the match” came on
Vipbox.com provided the game for me. RTE is brutal.
@right wing. Still have to pay the TV licence even with the TV out the window
In a while it wont even matter if you have a TV or not, everybody will have to pay the Ryan Tubridy tax.
I watched it live in Nairobi, Kenya on Setanta Africa. Great to get it, pity about the result.
I watched it online in Essex. Winning feels great.
