The Frying Scotsman 275 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 9 hours ago, Bedfordshire Bronco said: There was mutterings on here of a Sky 'Rugby' channel. Sky have SL, NRL and buts if union. 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 post Share on other sites
Oldbear 992 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No, it is a bit difficult to get a delivery of the MEN down here in Sussex. On line can be manipulated to provide as much coverage as they want, but printed versions can't. 1 Where were you last Thursday? Link to post Share on other sites
