    Thanks very much for posting, no way I would have seen it. I let my subscription expire by accident. Absolute bargain for €12.50.

    Twitterage from Richard Forristal, editor of RP in Ireland, to the effect that under new RUK deal starting January, coverage of Irish racing will be switched solely to online platform.

    If it's true what an absolute shitter for irish racing and what questions will have to be answered by HRI
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Whole thing has hummed from the start. How were they ever going to dovetail full coverage of all Irish meetings with their existing commitments without creating another channel....?

    It is utter stupidity. Why does racing attract people who can only think short-term? Do they actually have 5 and 10 year plans, and if so do they consider what implications this kind of decision means for them.

    On a practical, and purely selfish level, the biggest change for me will be no longer being able to access the free replay service via the ATR app for study/analysis purposes.

    Can't see them offering anything like that up for nowt...

    I've heard nothing to the contrary but wouldn't surprise me if they reigned it in to force people to pay the £30 per month subscription.

    Is there an android SL app? Haven't been able to Google Play Store or anywhere else for that matter...

    Still all sounds a bit loose and fluffy at the edges bearing in mind they'll be 'on air' in 17 weeks.

    And still no mention of how they're going to physically crowbar a bin bag full of content into a jam jar......

    I don't see why it's a bit better, PJ. There's not a single word in that Guardian article to deny what Richie Forristal is suggesting will happen.

    On first glance I took his mentioning channel to mean non internet and tv based.

    I can't imagine they're true, and they don't seem to square with this data. If I'm interpreting it correctly it means 5.3% of the viewing population wathced ATR at some point during June and that it's overall audience share was 0.3%, which doesn't sound great but seems to be comparable to other sports channels:

    I think the "reach " means how many people have it available to watch rather than watched it. (could be wrong though)

    'Reach' seems to be the percentage of the viewing population who watched for more that 1 minute during the month in question.
