Damien Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't think it was ever in doubt if it would be on the BBC again. The key question is the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Elstone can get an enhanced deal for Super League after kicking Toronto out and replacing them with Leigh. If he can’t how can anyone justify his massive salary he’s getting.

Dave T Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 7 minutes ago, Spidey said: Enhanced you say...... It'd be interesting to know what that word means in this context.

Smudger06 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 That is good news. The estimates of the Super League deal have already been projected and widely reported. Long before Toronto even dropped out. Before even the pandemic erupted. We can see some are actually actively angling to twist this SL deal already. Very predicable.

Hela Wigmen Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 It’s very good news that three forms of the game are going to get coverage via the BBC and the Women’s game being on BBC rather than via a red button option. If this also means an increase in value, it’s great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hela Wigmen Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 In regards to the presentation, the loss of Chapman will be a big one. He’s a very good anchor. I hope Sky get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyleaguesupporter Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 According to Simon Johnson, value is the same but RFL have digital rights Enhancement is coverage of Womens and Wheelchair rugby. Good deal overall. Interesting international rights haven't been announced- but not surprising at these are unclear at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 "The BBC’s ground breaking online and digital coverage of the early rounds of the competition featuring teams and clubs from all sections of the Community Game will continue and will sit alongside the RFL’s additional digital and highlights rights allowing the opportunity to promote the sport to a wider audience." Anyone got details on this? Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Anyone got details on this? RFL chair says: Maintained value of the rights and released digital rights that we can use. So, presumably, RFL can do what it likes with regards to putting extra games on OurLeague/YouTube and getting decent highlights/clips onto social media.

Toby Chopra Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Good news for sure. But wasn't the briefing a while back that TV rights were being split into two packages - Superleague in one and all the rest in another? Seems like it's a bit more fragmented than that, and makes me think it's less likely the BBC are picking up the championship. If they were, wouldn't they wait to announce CC and championship rights together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
