The digital revolution sweeping through sports broadcasting has long been central to the GAA’s thinking and planning for the future.
As the Football and Hurling championships reach their climax, the way fans experience these games has undergone a dramatic transformation through GAA+, the streaming service, which brings more matches to more screens than ever before.
In this week’s Sport for Business Podcast, Noel Quinn, Director of GAA+, takes us behind the scenes of the evolution from serving the diaspora to becoming a cornerstone of domestic championship coverage.
“We’ve tripled the number of games compared to linear traditional broadcast partners,” Quinn explains, with GAA+ delivering an unprecedented 42 championship matches across 13 action-packed weekends. More significantly, the service has expanded its coverage to over 30 counties, providing exposure to teams that traditionally received little broadcast attention.
