Maybe the Polish version ? ![]()
Well, I’ve got a letter from Premier Sports this morning stating they will be showing Championship games from February 2012.
Showing at least 30 matches from the league, Grand Finals of both Championships & the Cup.
Subscription of £7.99.

Yep, £7.99 a month.
It also says the coverage will have a local Rugby League community approach (whatever that means) & will include behind the scenes features on clubs & staff.
Plus the NRL, which is why I got it in the first place. Far better value than Sky, but, I’ll probably still subscribe now those pesky Crusaders gave my club a lifeline. |

Of course they can afford it, they just don't do it because they don't see the point and it's easier to stick within England and Wales. |

Probably means something like Channel M; so it will be something like one camera and pi$$ poor commentary. |

The Premier Sports email says....
Premier Sports are delighted to announce that Championship Rugby League from England will be coming to the channel live and exclusively from next February 2012. We intend to broadcast at least 30 matches from the league, Grand Finals of both Championships and the Cup. The coverage will have a local rugby league community approach and will include behind the scenes features on clubs and staff. The hope is that the current and new subscribers will feel the £7.99 subscription offers great value with over 180 live rugby league games available to view from Australia's NRL and now the Championship in Britain.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Out of curiosity, is there any news of a deal for the Challenge Cup yet?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

I'm signed up to Premier Sports but will be cancelling once the NRL season ends, and will start again in February.
Makes the subscription worth more with them having Championship RL as well.

| Quote: JB Down Under "pay per view online. All those fans who can't get to Perpignan could pay say 5quid to watch the game live online. It's the future!'"
Given the number of people who seem on here to be prepared to pay monthly subscriptions to watch RL outside the Super League, then perhaps pay per view streaming of games is a way forward, particularly if the clubs involved might see some of the money, which doesnt seem to be the case with the likes of Sky/Premier.
Having listened to the poor & disinterested 5Live commentary of St Helens v Salford last night on Freesat, I know the dedicated RL media (weekly/monthy press & forums) that already exists could do a better job if they expanded into that area. |
