RL on BBC

Post by Richymac »

In a way to boost the reputation of the Super League should the RFL maybe give television rights to a Sunday game and show it on the BBC? This would give many people a view into a sport they may disregard otherwise.
I remember watching Sunday Grandstand and seeing the Challenge Cup on it and thinking that was something I like. I really think this could work even if it is done for just one season maybe? I feel it is needed now with the new system in place and the SL been revamped it is a great opportunity to do it, not this season but next it would be a great addition i think.

Yes they should but they don't own the television rights, Sky do. As such, any showings on terrestrial tv is purely at the discretion of sky.

Think this was one of the major considerations for IL when he decided to speak out against the RFLs handling of negotiations with sky.
