I've said it before on other threads and hopefully I don't sound like a broken record, or that poor bloke Mike O'Farrell from Middlesex CC (who's being hounded unnecessarily IMO) but why would Sky Sports actively promote our sport? We are not PL Football, or a sport with a premium audience like Golf, I agree with you that we are a stocking filler and it's in their interests to pay as little as possible for our 'product'.

There's plenty of competition on the stocking filler stakes most noticeably Women's Soccer, Women's Netball, Women's Cricket, which is fair enough to an 'enlightened' bloke like me at least it's played in the UK. BUT Women's Basketball from the USA, really?

Well, they have given our sport MILLIONS of pounds since 1989 (admittedly nowhere near the levels of PL, Cricket, Golf, F1 etc), and them "saving the sport" in 95, with the launch of SL a year later, so I'd expect them to plug RL in their "what's coming up this month" ad, but we rarely feature. If we do do, it's for a second, if we're lucky. We're bombarded with US sports (admittedly the time delay facilitates this) and women's sports, where one girl and her dog are the attendances (when you take away the free tickets....it DOES happen).
I know Salford, Wakey etc have poor attendances, but there's teams with 5 figure crowds, week in week out, so the general public ARE interested.
It just annoys me why RL is treated as the "ginger stepchild" of their sports portfolio.

On the 2022 trailer for Sky Sports we got 3 clips of about 0.73 seconds each. Women's cricket got well above that. Tells you everything

On the subject of C4 games, does anyone have any idea of the format or presenters?

Adam Hills…..and er….

Asked this same question awhile a go and still none the wiser. Have seen the advert though.

Adam Hills presenting and Kevin Sinfield and Leon Price pundits. Good team that !

Leon Price is also involved with the Premier Sports RL Championship TV coverage currently being shown on Monday nights.

Helen Skelton part of the team, rather have Eddie and Stevo back.

Get ready for plenty of "errrrs", "ummmms" and inane 5h1te, then.

Anybody know who the commentator is?

I do hope that there won't be the Sky bore-a-thon way of dissecting every tackle and play the ball, to debate whether a penalty should/should not be given.

Mark Wilson

Spot on.
I'm sick to death of listening to commentators opinions. They're job is to commentate, not come out with "oh he's walking for that" or "the disciplinary committee will be looking at that". Who made these people [ijudge, jury and executioner [/i?

This is happening too regularly in everyday broadcasting, also. G0b5h1tes like Piers Morgan and that harridan Naga Munchetty think [ithey [/iare the news. Just stick to reading the autocue, not foisting your thoughts on the nation.

100% agree with this, it’s worse in Formula 1 Martin Brundle and friends making comments while commentating and it’s obvious the stewards and team principles have access to those feeds I just want to @#£@#- when they do that
