Soccer And GAA Games To Air
Live GAA Championship coverage taking place this summer will be covered by Setanta Sports - while RTÉ has been awarded the rights to broadcast Barclays Premier League soccer.
Broadcaster Setanta has already announced details of its first trip to Croke Park for Dublin's Championship opener with Wexford on Sunday June 13th at 4pm.
On Sunday June 20th, All-Ireland Champions Kilkenny will then begin their title defence, followed by a Munster Hurling semi-final as Limerick take on Cork.
There is another Championship double header on Sunday 27th June with two provincial semi-finals.
In Leinster there is potential for a Meath against Dublin clash, while in Connacht, Sligo will face Galway.
In July, the Munster SFC final and the Connacht SFC final will also be broadcast live on Setanta.
Setanta will be showing a minimum of ten live games in Northern Ireland over the period June to August.
Meanwhile, Ireland's national broadcaster announced that it has been awarded the rights to broadcast Barclays Premier League soccer highlights for three seasons up to and including the 2012/2013 season.
Ryle Nugent, Deputy Head of Sport at RTÉ Television commented: "We're delighted to continue to show the best of the Barclays Premier League action so that the widest possible audience can enjoy the success of Irish footballers in the league along with all the top class football free-to-air.
"The strength of our expert analysis and the uniquely Irish perspective that our pundits offer on the league continues to prove a favourite for fans, with over 200,000 viewers tuning in to the top-rated programme last season."
Richard Scudamore, Chief Executive, Premier League said: "The Premier League is extremely pleased that RTÉ has invested in our highlights rights for seasons 2010/11 - 2012/13. They will continue to provide excellent coverage of the Barclays Premier League to our many fans across Ireland."
