On-screen gaffes as Sky’s debut looms

Sky Sports today begin construction on their camera scaffolding at Nowlan Park for their live GAA debut on Saturday — but in the wake of more embarrassing onscreen mistakes.

With yesterday evening’s U21 Leinster game out of the way, work will step up a gear ahead of their broadcasting of the senior quarter-final between Kilkenny and Offaly.

Sky’s main cameras will be stationed over the roofless Old Stand which was damaged in a storm earlier this year. RTÉ and TG4’s cameras are usually positioned over the Grace Stand but Sky are keen to ensure they present the game as best they can.
