Wigan TV

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Sky rule probably...
It is down to Sky, copyright or something
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It was played at St Helens & I suppose the club would have to request it from them as I would think the Wigan TV staff would be in France.
Fair enough. You would think that we could have an agreement with Saints though.

For sure its a Sky exclusive rights thing, they pay a lot of cash for the exclusivity.
I've seen a few posters saying that games are "missing" from WiganTV they are not - the annoying thing is that games are not easy to find if you just look in the playlists for, say, the Reserves - games are not listed but they are on the site. Taking Reserves as a case in point, the away game at Saints is on Wigan TV, away games are the "property" of the home team - if they did bother to film the Academy game it might appear on our site.
