Broduer happy as Aertv spreading the gospel for minority sports

You won’t find Aertv in Croke Park on All-Ireland hurling final day, much less across the Liffey for Ireland’s Six Nations opener in the Aviva. In short, it simply isn’t their scene.

Rather, you’ll see the fledgling online TV service streaming the Irish Open tennis from Fitzwilliam or at Baldoyle for the badminton equivalent. For now, serving minority sports is their sole objective.

In the past 12 months alone, Aertv has streamed 300 sporting events in conjunction with 30 different sporting organisations around the country. For those crying out for coverage on a national scale, be it cricket, camogie, basketball, squash or hockey, Aertv has proven a godsend. At least so says managing director Phillip Broduer.
