TUV representative hits out at new BBC deal for GAA coverage

The Traditional Unionist Voice has expressed its belief that the BBC increasing its coverage of GAA is a clear example of an 'anti-unionist bias' present within the broadcaster.

A new five-year media rights deal was announced on Tuesday which will see the BBC not only continue its coverage of the Ulster Senior Football Championship but will also showcase the All-Ireland semi-finals and finals across hurling as well as football.

The two showpiece deciders will both also be made available across the BBC's global network, opening it up to a potentially massive audience - albeit it will be competing against the likes of the women's World Cup for the sporting spotlight next July.
