As the majority of your posts on rlfans have Leeds as the main theme, I’d suggest you’re a troll or need to talk to somebody about your little obsession

I never said they didn’t own the rights or that they can’t do what they want with it. They could pay for the rights and not show a single game if they wanted. That doesn’t mean that’s what I think they should do.

The changes I mentioned are not anything that would cost Sky any money. It’s only what they do with most of their other sports programmes. It can’t possibly be in Sky’s interest to broadcast a poor programme, yet that’s what they’re doing. As I said, change the producer and I reckon you’ll soon see some positive changes.

Option 1.
You as a sky customer complain to them....they won't give a flying one....they get 100k to 150k for games and doubt they'll get any more viewers as RL is a sport you have to look for, not one where you'll catch casual viewers.
Option 2.
The people who are responsible for negotiating the TV deal on behalf of the sport make it clear that any production that isn't deemed up to scratch will jeopardize the contract.....again, they won't give a flying one......
Option 3.
Package the next TV deal up with "in-house" production teams and insist on a partnership with a FTA channel.

Choose one of the three above, but realise that we made our own bed when we scrambled to take the cash.......we can't blame SKY for not caring

But not on other channels like there are for soccer and cricket. Not on their vans, not on their display stands in shopping centres.

Yes sorry about that.
