hunsletgreenandgold Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 11 minutes ago, Spidey said: It maybe that the RFL have asked for production services, and that has taken a chunk of cash of the rights You could be right - but then this surely bumps up the price quite a bit for any other broadcasters to purchase and as I mentioned before, it would be groundbreaking if this happens, as nobody is currently doing that.

Rugbyleaguesupporter Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 A four camera set up is OK for games on Our League. Same as championship I follow. And frankly it may be better for Sky and BBC to show the top matches, with rest on Our League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireBull Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 On FTA yes alot of people watch youtube but problem with youtube is the huge amounts of content. BBC or Channel 5 for me. I'd like to see us build New FTA relationships with company that also needs to make money so Channel 5 is prob preference but would take either right now.

Mattrhino Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 It seems quite explicit that the free to air games will still be on SKY platforms so maybe Sky mix or red buttons or online. So I'm not sure why people are getting excited about C4 or C5 showing live games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakstorm Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 If Sky is going to have cameras at every game, then arguably they may actually broadcast more than just the 66 games listed in the Press Release. The wording very specifically states that those 66 will be 'exclusive' to Sky, but potentially those extra '20' up for re-sale, may also be simulcasted on Sky and BBC / Our League / etc. That said, that still leaves another 90 odd games which unless OurLeague can take, would be a bit weird for Sky to film, unless the plan is to sell that extra content to Fox League and Sky in NZ.

Only that games will be on FTA Sky platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP London Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, Man of Kent said: Guess I've got higher standards than you, sorry! I'm not saying chuck OuRLeague in the bin but if Super League is going down the Watch NRL road, it needs to be more user-friendly to watch on a TV. i would guess they know that to be honest.. they now have a year to get it there with the help of both Sky and Iquoniq (or however its spelt).. i wouldnt be surpised to see some massive changes.. lets remember this time last year they were'nt expecting to have to put 2-3 streams through it a week and they have got it to this point on limited resources.

So it has not been officially confirmed by anyone. It hasn't been officially confirmed but, as said elsewhere, the Yorkshire Post is about as small-c conservative as can be imagined and tends not to really be in a hurry for scoops. If it's writing that there are moves for the BBC to have 10 live games per year then I think it's fair to assume that those discussions are at a fairly advanced stage - even if nothing comes of it ultimately.

Yes, and I would imagine Sky would insist on their announcement first, given they are the principle - if not exclusive - broadcast partner. Hopefully we hear more in the coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger06 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Doesn't say owt in the Yorkshire Post about games on the BBC, just says 66 Games are going on the Sky Sports Channels and that some will be going on other (non subscription) Sky Platforms.
