Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "What kind of viewing figures do you think a Championship RL game would get on sky compared to a Championship RU game?
Why do sky show Championship RU but not Championship RL, even though they have the tv rights.'"
I would guess because sky do not have any rights for the rugby union premiership. Rights for the rugby union Championship are cheap and it's gives them content to fill time slots.
Yes I also agree they should be showing the rugby league championship. Pointless holding the rights and only showing the Blackpool Weekender.
