In this programme from 1976, Michael O'Hehir relates the problems encountered in broadcasting the 1947 All-Ireland football final from New York, and how there was a danger that the nation might not get to hear the end of the match. He recalls realising that "I was the link between home and this game."

'This Game Is Not Over Yet' was a programme looking back at 50 years of radio sports broadcasting in Ireland.

"A look back over 50 years of sport on radio with voices and sounds which captured the thrills and excitement of great sporting events."
