What broadcaster would pay any serious money to reach such a tiny audience? They need to add another 0 to the end of that figure for anyone to stump up real cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine there are a fair whack of conservative media companies in France esp Arab owned beIN Sports who would probably get behind his 'religious' cause or atleast his right to express it (if it is one thing conservative Christians & Muslims agree on is anti homosexuality) as a strike for conservative values. Anyways, just a possible observation/scenario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave T Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Or more likely is that conversations have been ongoing since last year, and continue in order to get these games covered. The article was poor from Carter, with no link to Folau at all, and no hint of money, but he added both of those things to make a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelaide Tiger Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hudgell will be first in line with the begging bowl if there is money to be made from this. If this does come off I hope Catalans tells him where to shove it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daddy Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 So which tv station are they in talks with? It would be a masterstroke if it came off. L'quipe with their large viewership would be the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see, but it would be most odd for a cash windfall to now come, and Catalans have been confident of getting a deal at some stage, even before Folau was mentioned.

barnyia Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Talk in the local paper that they may be close to a deal with w9 a national channel, m6 sister channel, a bit like e4 to channel 4. Maybe as soon as the 7th March game, Great news if it happens, sky offering to film 5 games over here which means w9 would only have to pay the costs to film 5 or 6 games. W9 would recieve all the super league games from sky also in return, the filming cost per game is around 20000 euros apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
