There's an interesting article regarding RU Premiership attendances being down over their opening weekends, plus the loss of their Ch5 highlights programme.
Seems no matter how passionate a supporter base might feel, it just doesn't grasp a wider viewing audience in significant numbers, and therefore, in context with Championship RL, you can see how hard it might be to squeeze much money out of a broadcasting deal:

Quote DallasMead2="DallasMead2"About £9,000 per club then? Jaysus…'"
Mate, a six figure sum was quoted and that could at worst be £100,000
It could also "at best" be £999,999 ..............................................
The championship went without SKY TV money for many many years, only this last deal gave them a cut of the money, so at least they will still get TV funding. It seems the big "Jaysus" hit is on the League one clubs....... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-le ... g-24938063 |

The live TV model is reaching the end of it's lifespan IMO. Only PL football seems to be bucking the trend, but there's even talk that broadcasting rights have peaked for them too.
RL really needs to start looking at alternative options like streaming services. Obviously, it won't be easy, but it seems clear to me that we won't be seeing the kinds of TV deals that were getting thrown around 5 to 10 years ago again.

Yep, even live PL football got a rude awakening when it tried its PPV model last season, which was hastily rejected by fans

They were trying to charge for individual games on top of subscriptions though. If we gave a % of games to Amazon Prime for example, I don't think we would have many issues.
Well, apart from RL fans will moan about anything and everything. |

DZNE have bought BT sport, and seem to be wanting to expand, so they they could be another option in the future.
I actually wouldn't mind if Amazon ended up showing SL games. It's far cheaper than sky.

This, at least looks like a way of The Championship securing some revenue, which, if the rumor's are correct, may not be certain when the new SL deal comes into force.
Like other posters, Monday nights seem a bit of a strange one but, I dont suppose that there are too many options.

Interesting to see RU premiership still looking for a terrestrial broadcaster to pick up the 5 live games on offer.
Suggests that Super League will have same difficulty. |

DAZN are in talks with BT sport. No deal has been agreed yet. |
