| What I find interesting is the assumption that an american station would be prepared to show live rugby league!
If it was Fox, CBS, ABC or NBC then whoopee and they could show it in the states instead of "Football".
Sadly that will not happen, or certainally not in my lifetime  |

Its a sports station, it wants viewers. RL is Sky's second biggest ratings winner and it pays bugger all for it.
Setanta has NRL if it were to get ESL too viewers would migrate to that platform.
If it was ESPNs main sport it would then feature it more heavily granting it higher exposure.
That's the theory. hth

Yes and see how that theory currently works on both Setanta and Sky |

You have to get up early to beat the Airlie Birds!: |
|

im toying with the idea of cancelling my direct debit due next tuesday. If most reports are accurate in that they wont last the month, i dont want to be paying £12.99 next week only for them to shut down a few days later. Anyone else done the same already? I know its exactly what anata don't need, subscribers cancelling their subs, but everyone needs to look after number 1!

Yes but the exposure is negligable on both channels!
Setanta don't even promote the game and Sky seem more interested in Onion, cricket and of course moronball even if they are out of season.
Don't kid yourself that Sky are doing the game that many favours!
I agree they got "the greatest game" for pennies and will probably get it again for even less with no competition from any other source! |

Thanks for that. I'm pretty good at mine though, so I doubt I will. |

I agree. Its together that it works as a package.
Sky know league fans will watch it whenever they put it on.
If Espn had both the ESL and the NRL its a pretty attractive package and would be their main draw. as such they would (you would think) position it accordingly. |

Hate to agree with a Cas fan, but Setanta have brought this upon themselves. They didn't care about RL, thought they could take on Sky without learning the lessons of ONDigital, and from what people said their customer relations were terrible. Hardly deserving of success. |

I would. You'll have little hope of seeing you get back any of that £12.99 if it goes bust before the month is out. |
