Advertising your sport.

[Panchitta Marra]

ITV are giving plenty of air time in advertising the RBS six nations 2017 which starts at the same as as the coming superleague season. It's quality advertising for the yawnion matches too.
The RFL should give themselves a shake and take a leaf out of Onions book and promote some decent advertising with Sky for the start of the new SL season including the WCC.

I've notice we are not even part of Skys big upcoming year of sport advertisement, very very poor on Skys part

Is it sky to blame or rugby league for not pushing their sport enough.

Bit of both I'd say

due to the RFL not even thinking about looking elsewhere to sky, sky have the rights to televised league matches. you would have hoped as part of that deal they would have to undertake a certain level of advertisement to promote the game. if they don't it that the RFL had no interest in the promotion of the sport they are the governing body for.

Point taken but there is a wider issue which they share with the BBC and most if not all of the mainstream media and that is an institutional bias which has existed since RL broke. away from Union.

But it is in Sky's interest to promote the sport they give airtime to. If they deliberately ignore it then they won't persuade advertises to pay much to advertise in the TV advertising slots who won't take kindly to having lower audiences. It won't help persuading potential customers who watch RL to subscribe either.

Sky are a commercial organisation and if they didn't get some benefit from RL they would not pay a penny for it so their lack of promotion of the game seems more like cock up than conspiracy to me.

Well, that's what I was wondering. I don't have a prob with the Johnny Vegas ad, but is it being shown on ITV? Channel 4? Channel 5?
