As a true RL fan I'm glad they are all on TV, since now they're guaranteed to have to give out discount codes for the match tickets if they want to fill the stadiums......

Absolutely fantastic, BBC really stepping up league coverage of late, more good exposure for the game!

on a slightly different but also positive note, dave woods has been promoted to the role of RL correspondent on the bbc. this is the first time RL has had a correspondent on the station.

Can't argue with a word of that.

Just read the BBC's press release and not only will 16 games be on tv, the remaining games will be on Red Button and/or iplayer. By 2021 Even more tv will be streamed so effectively the whole tournament is on BBC to a national audience. Great news for the game!

I feel sorry for Sky and the Murdoch family and Eddie Hemmings, Brian Carney, and Jonathan Wells. They have put so much into Super League. To be bypassed like that must hurt on a personal level.

Pity that Sky cannot get some crumbs of the World Cup as compensation (How about the games staged in France and Wales, if there are any?).

I'm sure they'll get over it

Good work by the BBC. Congrats to Dave Woods as well.

Very disrespectful of Edward Hemmings.

David Woods is the best rugby league caller in either hemisphere. Plus he is a very capable interviewer. I believe that he fully deserves the opportunity to bring rugby league to the attention of millions of bored and excitement yearning British citizens. With the help of struggling artists Robert Hunter-Paul I believe that David Woods will be amazingly successful.

I'm filling up..

Excellent, this level of exposure is a great opportunity for the sport.

Let's hope this co-includes with Toronto being in SL by then.

What with? Potatos? Bread? Rice? Cakes? Chocolates?

Pure tears,finally the trait of this game (media wise) is taking second best.
