RTE is to broadcast 31 live games on TV as part of this season’s GAA Championships, including 13 in HD.  The two finals, all four semi finals and four of the quarter finals will be shown live on the national broadcaster.
Eddie Brennan and Martin McHugh join the panellists and there is also a welcome return for hurling analyst Ger Loughnane who missed last year battling against serious illness.
The Sunday Game will return for its 34th year with Des Cahill once again in the host’s seat and there will be a new discussion programme on Thursday nights, Championship Matters, hosted by Marty Morrissey.

Radio 1 will have exclusive national coverage of the top match on Saturday Sport and Sunday Sport presented by Jacqui Hurley and Con Murphy as well as coverage from every other match.
All of RTE’s TV output will also be broadcast online and through mobile channels in Ireland while radio commentaries will be available to worldwide online listeners.
This is the second of a three year broadcast contract between RTE and the GAA.  The programme coverage sponsorship is tied to the principal Championship sponsors Ulster Bank, Eircom, Supervalu, Centra, Etihad Airways and Guinness.
Sport for Business Weekly will have an interview with RTE Head of Sport Ryle Nugent in this week’s issue out Thursday May 17th.
