The Premier Sports deal expires at the end of this season. Does anyone have any information on who might be in the running for the next set of rights?

Also why do the Sunday games overlap? I assume it is to do with time zones, however in the US where the difference can be up to 3 hours, the NFL (only comparison in terms of fixtures) maintains natural double-headers.

Premier sports is hurting championships, They take your best home games and play them on a Thursday night - nothing wrong with that at all - but you get nothing, thats right zip, zilch for the privilage. That's before you factor in part time players losing pay from work due to travel etc on a work day.

Clubs sponsors will be happy though. Hopefully featured clubs find it easier to get sponsors with tv coverage.

Who pays the piper calls the tune.

I think sky would like it but don't have a window. Sky show super rugby Saturday and Sunday mornings. ESPN would be great but again they show live AFL so do not have the window.
