I think it's pretty straight forward to change the name of the channel - if memory serves we did it for the Masters? I'll try and find out from some of the devs/content curators I know on Q.

Yes, I don't think it's hard but it's also not referred to in the story which only says that Sky Sports Arena will have a #RugbyLeagueTakeover 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

M j M Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Although, again, I'm not sure administrators should be the ones who get the hour-long interviews, at least Pearson was engaging and interesting here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p098ccvd However the relevant part is the following (around 45:30)- Quote We're negotiating at the minute to get some terrestrial games with the BBC for 2022, ten fixtures... alongside Sky... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DI Keith Fowler Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Now might not be a bad time to be negotiating given Sky's biggest property could potentially lose it's biggest names. Guaranteed viewers for a relative pittance isn't something you'd want to be losing right now if you were Sky. 1 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It's also clear from watching today's activity that Sky thrive on promotion and relegation - and so do journalists. Nice selling point for the game.
