Quote: Leaguefan "It is believed Sky was in the market for the Six Nations rights, which is likely to have raised the annual sum the BBC bid for the 15-game annual competition. The rights package covers television, radio, online and interactive.'"
If SKY were up for it, I believe it's a free for all......and at £2,666,666 a game, they may have paid a tad too much
I am not a fan of the Premier TV deal but it is what it is...and that is probably the best way to have Live top level RL available to a wider audience than the game has had access too for a long long time. Trick is now is to convert these curious eyeballs into curious attendees at RL games in the 2014 season.
As for the long term, BT will probably got the way other pretenders to the SKY throne have gone and as big as the Union deal is at present, sticking with SKY is probably best for League in the UK for now.
