The Semi's at Wembley are to be promoted as the 'Big Hit' with the marketing being created by the man behind RU's big games over the last few years

Starting to wish this RLWC was on rlBT Sportrl. Still no word from Premier Sports as to being on the Virgin platform, I presume?

On an obscure free-to-air TV channel which hardly anyone in Australia tunes in to unless they consider themselves both economically and culturally a part of the rl"bogan"rl demographic. |

If people want to watch the games it doesn't matter what channel it is on. I'm sure if the world cup was on an obscure Freeview channel over here people would still watch it in great numbers. |

Oh... so long as the "already converted to RL minority who are also interested in the RLWC" are watching, that's ok then? What about reaching out to the other 97% of the population who don't watch 7mate? People do not watch obscure TV channels aimed at minority interests in great numbers no matter what is being televised. That's why they are obscure TV channels aimed at minority interests. |

I assume William Eve is one of Gutterfax's alt accounts? Time for a few facts.
7Mate is Channel 7's only High Definition channel and is seen as their sports channel (It carries AFL and other sports).
No different to the 2011 Union World Cup being shown on Channel 9's equivalent 'bogan' HD sports channel GEM...

You might help your cause if your first sentence actually contained a fact as opposed to some bizarre, agenda-driven assumption or accusation of an erroneous nature.
Quote: Lockyer4President! "7Mate is Channel 7's only High Definition channel and is seen as their sports channel (It carries AFL and other sports)'"
It's still an obscure TV channel which isn't watched by very many people. Why can't the Seven network show some of the RLWC games on it's higher profile channel Seven instead?

No different? You are being rather economical with the facts there aren't you? Every game in the RUWC of 2011 was shown live on Fox Sports via Foxtel or Austar, 9 games were shown live on Channel Nine itself whilst they showed some on GEM. That is a very different situation to the coverage of the RLWC of 2013 which is being broadcast in it's entirety on an obscure blokey/matey/bogan TV channel whose TV audience usually hovers around 2% to 3% of the total TV viewing population. |

Lets see what the figures are then we can rejoice or critisice. Fact is this is the first time a RLWC has had every game shown live in Australia. It is a big step forward. Maybe not as big as we would have liked but it still a positive and getting Ch7 back in with RL is another positive step, pumps up the price even further next NRL bidding round.
Geez RL fans (and Union trolls) can moan!

Not as far as I'm aware.
rlAustralian TV broadcaster Seven has secured "exclusive broadcast rights" to show Rugby League World Cup 2013 down under. Seven will broadcast all RLWC2013 matches in Australia on the 7mate channel.rl |

Don't be so defensive, it's not a good look.
Let's be honest here. If Fox Sports had picked up the rights you'd be whinging and saying it's terrible since it only has a penetration rate of ~30%. As it is we get every game in HD and everyone in the country has access to watch it.
I'm not sure why you think they're obscure channels either. The Ashes on GEM and the one-off soccer game between Liverpool and Melb Victory on 7Mate out-rated the main channels. Channel 7 is already promoting the WC in ads to let people know it's on 7Mate.
If the worst thing you can complain about is that the FTA HD sports channel is 'blokey' then you're really moaning for moaning's sake... |
