barnyia Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Is bt sports partners with channel 5 or do channel 5 have the rights to games and highlights for the other rugby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLANTISMAN Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Only good thing that can come out of this is that SKY SPORTS up the offer (For all we know it maybe a planted story from a PR company) BT for advertisers is not popular and unless the money is considerably more would be a backwards step not to mention that we would lose BBC Highlights and the vast International coverage that SKY brings.

I think BT have partnered with both Channel 5 and Channel 4 in the past. I cant honestly see a bidding war breaking out for SL, sadly. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Damien Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The RFL and Super League should be feeding constantly to the media that all these organisations are interested, BT, Amazon etc whether they are or not. Play the game. Its what Sky do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Having seen the Bermuda 10s on Sky its a decent game, soon we'll have rugby with every number you can think of, 5s 7s 9s 13s 15s And 11s would probably be the best form of the game. So enough there for a rugby channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to a report in a newspaper than just filling up page space, given that the Rugby Union TV deal with BT ends next Summer and with them threatening to start their own subscription service to watch games. It could, providing RU goes it alone, be an opening within their schedule that could possibly be filled by Rugby League from 2022 and beyond.

Sorry I read the article and couldn't see why I was there, of all places! But there is no doubt thatcompetition for SL/RL rights would be a good thing for the sport. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic Rugby Union and Domestic Rugby League both play throughout January (our last few seasons have started in Jan), February, March, April, May, August, September and October. Depending on the details of any possible deal, you can throw in November too if BT were to show International Rugby League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frisky Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Well if anyone from BTs Sports department is scanning these pages... I for one would change to BT if they got the SL rights.

Cheshire Setter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 If we get BT can we please have Super League rammed down our throats on every prime-time TV ad, like they do with RU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I fear we are getting close to the last chance saloon. Should such a deal materialise,someone needs to make some strategic decisions on make up of the league,minimum standards in terms of grounds,support,viability(and penalties/removal for not achieving them.) Do we have any leadership or strategic view? I just dont see it. Just muddle through until the next crisis. p.s. I hear Hull KR would vote to remove Catalans to save a few bob on travel !

DI Keith Fowler Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'd be happy to see it go to BT. I think there's a perception that we're beholden to Sky (probably because we are) and any threat to leave is just posturing which doesn't help our negotiating position. Moving to BT would signal to Sky that we were serious and would count in our favour the next time the rights were up for tender, we could spark an actual bidding war. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

RU on BT isn't much better than SL's on Sky IMHO. Presenters/Pundits would probably be recycled from the BBC, similar to what they do with football. If the money is better then i'm all for it, but I have doubts we'll see much change overall. All that said, if it gets rid of Baz and Tez and that god awful 'Try music' i'll be happy.
