Insisting on monies for a French TV deal when RL has no significant profile and ending up with nothing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bernard won't want Robert's name anywhere near this deal. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 4,147 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 My GCSE grade B from 25 odd years ago isn’t sufficient for that article, so here is the Google translation. At the opening of the match between the Catalan Dragons and the Elite 1 selection, President Bernard Guasch raised the subject of the Catalan Dragons' media coverage in 2021. Good news seems about to be formalized by Bernard Guasch, president of the Catalans Dragons. Indeed, during his interview before yesterday's friendly match, the president said that negotiations with a major French channel were well under way and that an agreement could be reached next week. This would undoubtedly be great news for all private French supporters for most of the 2020 season. The L’Equipe channel broadcast 3 matches last season but it was very poor in relation to the broadcasts of recent seasons. It remains to be seen what this channel is and whether it is paid or free, which would be even better news for everyone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ATLANTISMAN 1,144 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 A far cry from paying out Euros 30/35000 a match to cover the TV costs. Well done to the Dragons, coming back to Toulouse having them eventually in SL will be a game changer with regards to French TV. Paul 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They pay, not a huge amount, but they pay. They also pay for their own team of commentators to translate it. Not sure as well where this belief that most international broadcasters 'get the NRL for free'. Roger Sports, TVWAN/Digicel, FijiTV/Sky Pacific all pay fees. Fox Sports is, as part of their license agreement with the NRL, able to sub-license to Fox Sports US, Fox Sports Asia and Fox Sports Netherlands, and it wouldn't surprise me if the new ESPN agreement in Africa is now part of that as well. 1 Quote PACIFIQUE TREIZE: Join the team by registering as a fan today at pacifique13.com Link to post Share on other sites
