Appears to be a trial League of Ireland Director, Mark Scanlon, said: “We are delighted to announce this broadcast with Virgin Media TV to add to the coverage provided by our current partners RTÉ and TG4. With increased crowds and a great start to the season, it is important that as many people as possible get the opportunity to see live LOI football and Virgin Media’s coverage of such a big fixture will help us engage more fans than ever before.” FAI Commercial Director, Sean Kavanagh said: “We are delighted that Virgin TV has decided to trial coverage of the LOI via this one-off game and we are hopeful this will lead to a wider commercial deal moving forward. Either way we are delighted that another major broadcast partner is expressing a proactive interest in the League of Ireland competition, and this augurs well for our future strategic plans for the League.” Virgin Media Television, Head of News and Sport, Mick McCaffrey, said: “We are delighted to be broadcasting our first ever SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division fixture and you couldn’t choose a more exciting one than Bohemians versus Shamrock Rovers. The league has never been more popular as evidenced by the amount of fans attending matches every week and we are really looking forward to bringing our viewers such a top-class game on Good Friday.” SSE Airtricity Interim Head of Brand, Advertising & Sponsorship, Ashley Morrow, said: “We’re a proud supporter of all three League of Ireland Divisions, so we’re always actively looking for opportunities with our partners at the FAI to bring the excitement of the games to more audiences. Supporting Virgin Media’s live coverage of the Bohemians v Shamrock game provides a great opportunity for even more fans to enjoy the game next weekend and to demonstrate the strength of the league.” |

Might read like a bit of a stupid question but how long do you have to be watching a program before it registers as a view?
