Quote: Magic Superbeetle "Having read Chris Irvine on twitter suggesting that we're increasing from £127m (the deal running to the end of 2016) to over £200m (deal running 2017-2021) I'm very happy indeed.

Well done rfl ...'"

So an extra £15m a year going into the sport.


Useless RFL. It's all cos Nigel Wood's a fat knacker. Incompetent pillocks.

More so than the value, at least this now allows proper long term planning, by the league and by clubs. Or would if we still had a licensing system icon_wink.gif

Quote: Starbug "But will they be paying for them?'"


I assume the increased funding that was in the proposals for championship teams will come from this increased deal ...

So yes ... In a way.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



Is that £200m the total for the new deal as a whole or the total for the extra five years? The new deal includes changes to the next three seasons too

Quote: bramleyrhino "The cash paid is just one element to this. I hope that there is a larger cheque in the mail to Red Hall but simply jumping into bed with BT, if they were the highest bidder, has its risks. Sky has 10.5m subscribers, BT Sport has 2m. As a sport that constantly talks about the need to expand its reach, that's a big consideration.
'"


Sky has 10.5m subscribers, Sky Sports doesn't.

They never actually release the figures, but best estimates range from 4 to 5 million.

It's disgraceful and terrible - it comes no where near the £152million union gets from BT etc etc etc icon_wink.gif

Here's hoping for a salary cap increase with that extra money!

Don't forget pubs and bars that have sky sports also, they aren't usually included in the subscriber figures as they are businesses.

Sounds good, what will happen to Premier Sports however in terms of championship games?

I had thought the last SL deal was £90M over 5 years, is this increased £127M to cover the additional Championship games? Or was the £90M wrong?

Weren't we going for "immediate renegotiations" after BT started sniffing around? Maybe sky agreed to pay an increase now as well (it's not like there's not space in the budget!) to make sure we signed for the next 5 as well?

More interestingly is what I just read here: runningrugby.com//media/sky-secu ... ns-rights/?

(I don't have an account but read the blurb - lions rights?)

Quote: Wakey Til I Die "Where does it say that?'"


'As well as a new contract from 2017 to 2021, the RFL has agreed a number of changes to the current deal with Sky Sports that runs to the end of the 2016 season. These include regular live action from the Kingstone Press Championship in 2015 and additional coverage of Catalan Dragons home games from 2014.'

@rugbyleagueontv: Super League announce a new tv deal which includes extra coverage of ALL Catalan Dragons home matches, starting this season.

No need for any equipment sending over to France neither as all their games are televised in France so we would use that feed.

correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know Premier Sports don't currently pay for the Championship games?

The £200m is from 2017 - 2021. It's a separate contract to our current one. They e just effectively signed it early.

That's Is an outstanding figure if true. Well done RFL. Now if income like that the new structure has a chance...
