RTÉ secures Six Nations rights until 2009

RTÉ has secured radio and television broadcast rights to the RBS 6 Nations until 2009.

“We’re thrilled to be able to make this announcement which means that, once again, the Irish public will be able to watch rugby’s most competitive tournament live on free-to-air television.

“Bringing the big competitions to the widest possible audience is one of the things we strive to deliver, and the RBS Six Nations certainly falls into that category,” said Glen Killane, RTÉ Head of TV Sport.
