ATLANTISMAN Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I personally think that SKY would pay some extra money for the Championship (Premier Sports is a waste of time for sponsors) and this may fall into line with them also making an offer to take the Rugby Union Championship back alongside the Pro 14 (BT will not be letting the Premiership out of their clutches) If its a NO from SKY only option is Our League and simply build it up.

P I’ve seen nothing over the recent seasons to suggest they would. Why would they change this stance and at the same time pay less for Super League?

Things have changed a lot over the last year our viewing figures are excellent on SKY and they are all looking for more Rugby content at present.

Smudger06 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The 2nd Division is your undercard, should be employed like a promoter has his undercard, one it develops future fighters (players) two it garners interest as you'd have it free or a lot cheaper, three it adds a nice bit of extra value to the punter rather than just a main event....

kiwis 13 6 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Championship should have a tv deal 2 0r 3 games each week, even if its just for the game of the round each week and rest of games each week could still be covered on Ourleague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not stick second tier league/Union best weekend fixtures on top? Please, stop dragging union into everything. (I see you spell it with a capital, but excuse me if I don't). There's a cross code forum for these joint initiatives you seem so fond of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbear Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Highlights package would be the best way to go, do something like RL Raw, but sanitized so it can be shown at an hour available to a large audience. The problem with live games is your fixture choice is more restricted if you avoid potential blow out games and avoid those stadia that might not be so well geared up for live broadcasts, meaning that some teams might just not get seen. Highlights overcomes these, even blow outs don’t matter if the package is well put together. Of course finding someone to pay for such a package (as indeed would be the case for live games), is the real challenge, especially if you are trying to reach the largest possible audience.
