"In early 2000, a proposal emerged from RTÉ that some championship games be played on Monday evenings. They already had a Monday programme, which was confined to reflecting on weekend action, the majority of which took place on Sundays. A live Monday game would make better TV and the GAA stood to gain from a promotional viewpoint."
RTÉ proposed in early 2000 that some GAA championship games be played on Monday evenings to enhance television coverage. The national broadcaster already operated a Monday programme focused on reviewing weekend action, predominantly held on Sundays. A live Monday game would improve television quality and provide promotional benefits for the GAA. However, RTÉ's expansion of weekend coverage depends on securing a deal between Croke Park and the GPA, which has not yet materialized. This agreement remains a significant obstacle to implementing the proposed Monday evening schedule.
