Pay-per-view television arrives for GAA games

GAA followers will get their first taste of ‘pay-per-view’ when the opening game in the Allianz National Football League in Tralee tomorrow evening between Kerry and Mayo will be shown live on the Setanta Sports Channel.

However, supporters appear unaware they won’t be able to watch the game unless they have subscribed to Setanta.

Yesterday, Kerry Chairman Sean Walsh said ‘only a limited number’ of their followers would be able to see the game on television. “A lot of them are going to be disappointed because they will think they can watch it on TV at home.”
