True, I think if the leagues are restructured then it would need the green light from Sky before it could happen, so it would make sense.
Quote: SmokeyTA "sky will honour the contract, but what if the rfl is unhappy about being put on a lower budget channel, lower subscribers to that channel could impact future negotiations, even more now since our coverage has been diluted to just full games and a twenty minute highlight show on a monday (take away the ad break time)'"
Depends what our current contract says really. At the minute the RL seems to be on a different channel with each match they show, so I suspect the RFL originally agreed to be shown on whatever channel Sky wanted. If that is the case then they wouldn't have much of an argument.
