Eir Sport has the rights to the GAA's archive that predates the current agreement and has already been delving into that with a Dublin-Tyrone-themed night recently featuring games between the counties in 1995, 2005 and 2008.

Eir Sport and RTÉ had come to an agreement over the live broadcast of some league games for the last two seasons. But the reach that greater archive footage would have given the programme to focus on eras of dominance and rivalries has been limited because the archive footage outside the current agreement went to their Eir Sport rivals.
