Quote: Ashulster "Glad the Championship has found a home.

Can't agree with the idea of a Rugby league only channel. It seems like preaching to the choire, how many non and new fans would tune into a specialist channel or bother looking for it.'"


Ash, think your right about an RL only channel we have to use the media we already have control over better. My own view is that there are a lot of games filmed by clubs both Semi pro & amateur that are never aired. The technology is there to stream them through the internet, but most need editing & commentary adding, so that the clubs could make some money from them.

Its a good idea in principle, but the problem there is that clubs usually film with one cheap fixed zoom camera. If you're going to try and sell it you need it to look good. To look good you need one camera for the wides, one for close ups and one camera behind each of the try lines, not to mention someone to deal with sound, then you need a producer and you need a good editor and your specialist IT technician. Lot of people, lot of time, lot of money. I suppose you could try and sell the cheap, fixed zoom camera stuff, but I can't see you making more money online than burning them onto DVDs for your hardcore fans.

Quote: justarugbyfan "Catalans have a TV deal themselves with a French channel and I think it's an exclusive one apart from selected Sky games. I think the problem is that Sky can't afford to send camera crews over to France unless it's a big game and I doubt any other UK channel would be interested.'"


even if a tv network was interested I am pretty sure it couldn't happen. Sky would have made sure the deal was water tight so no other channel in the UK could negotiate a separate deal with the dragons.

As I think this forum shows there is the technical knowledge & ability within the RL community at large to vastly improve the current situation with regards to TV & Radio broadcasting, bringing the game to the wider audience & also make some money for clubs. The option of the game self broadcasting into existing Satellite TV & Radio stations is always there assuming it can be done cost effectively.

We're coming to make some noise!:



Am I right in thinking that football clubs who have their own TV stations sell time slots to shopping channels so that the expense is not fully at the clubs' door??

What if the RFL were to buy some slots to put these games on? Could this be a cost effective measure? I buy the HKR match DVD's regularly at £10 a pop so if I had to pay per view at that price and all I got was a fixed camera with a zoom, I'd happily still do it because it is only what I am used to with the dvds.
