1% with Fox or terrestrial tv is huge.
13% of nothing is nothing.
BT sport is very much next to nothing.'"
I get what your saying, and it is difficult to get actual figures as Sky are shrewd about them, but looking at various reputable news articles -
276,000 people tuned in to watch London Wasps against Leicester Tigers on BT (2014 news article)
An early season Wigan vs Huddersfield game on Sky Sports in February attracted an average audience of 299,300.
Yes they're cherry picked figures due to the difficulty in finding anything, but I think it's fair to say that the BT sport numbers are not "very much next to nothing". The growth rate of Union on TV is very real, and very significant, while League still stagnates.
