He broadcasts in the medium of the Irish language, but is well known to English speakers in the country. ==Broadcasting== Breathnach has presented several television and radio programmes and documentaries for the state broadcasting corporation Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), the Irish-language broadcasters TG4 and the RTÉ national-regional station RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta. He is perhaps currently best known for his radio sports coverage. He presented the first Irish language pop music programme on Raidió Éireann in 1969 when he was 19 years old and his first television show, ''Imeall'' - a bilingual folk music show - soon followed. In 1975, he had the lead role in Bob Quinn's first feature Irish-language drama, ''Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoire''. He hosted the show ''SBB ina Shuí'' with Gráinne Gleoite between 1976 and 1982. This was the highest-rated Irish-language television programme of all times, coming first in TAM ratings in 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contestants - Sean Ban Breathnach )〕 Other work in television includes the community based programme ''Eadrainn Féin'' (1984–1986) and ''Scaoil Amach an Bobailín'' with Cynthia Ní Mhurchú (1990–1993) which attracted a viewership of over 600,000 in 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contestants - Sean Ban Breathnach )〕 Since the arrival of TG4, Breathnach has been involved in many programmes, including ''Cleamhnas'' (where parents choose partners for their children) and a soccer programme, recounting of the influence of Celts on the modern game. In this series he interviewed Alex Ferguson, Roy Keane, Denis Irwin, Steve Heighway, Jim Beglin, Tom Finney, Norman Whiteside, Paddy Crerand and many others. In 1978 he was appointed to RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta staff. He works mainly with the Sports Department and presents the station’s flagship sports programme, ''Spórt an tSathairn'', every Saturday between 2pm and 5pm. This programme features reports, interviews, previews, horse racing results in Ireland and England as well as the English Premier League results. In 1991, Breathnach won a Jacob's Award for his sports commentaries on Raidió na Gaeltachta. Since February 2007 Breathnach presents a new hour-long music documentary ''Siar agus Aniar'', on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta as part of the station's ANOCHT fm slot. The programme features major musical acts of the past thirty years or so, Irish and otherwise, including The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Stone Roses, Motown, etc. He was one of the few pundits that said Portumna had a chance of beating Ballyhale shamrocks (Kilkenny) in the All Ireland Club semi-final in 2009. Ollie Canning (Portumna Captain) was quoted on TG4 as saying so, at full time in Thurles after the match. Portumna went on to win the Championship that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seán Bán Breathnach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
