RTE Sports boss Declan McBennett has insisted that more live sport is being shown on free-to-air TV than ever before as controversy over the GAAGO platform rumbles on.
The streaming service has shown a number of Munster Senior Hurling Championship fixtures this summer, including Clare's classic win over Limerick, and has left those without a subscription unable to watch the games.
Defending the position of RTE, which is a joint owner of GAAGO, McBennett denied claims that high-profile games were being put on the streaming service in a bid to increase subscribers, and explained why Limerick v Clare could only be shown on GAAGO.
