If you've ever watched the Champions League on ITV you would realise how far behind they are. ATEOTD Sky Sports & ESPN are light years ahead of the terrestrial channels but BBC still have the edge over ITV for me.

For Highlights shows their Union one is absolutely fantastic compared to Boots n All + Super League show. On ITV 2 I think, regular time (albeit later on at night), and it doesn't try to be anything it's not. They normally just have the 1 presenter at the side of the pitch introducin each game, with the odd interview thrown in.

Absolutely! The BBC sports coverage is pathetic!

seconded, not seen a lot of it, but what i have seen was light years ahead of nobby and robbie every week.

Thats the simple fact though, if we want Rugby League to look a bit more appealing to new fans, we have to face the fact that they aren't going to be attracted to the sport by listening to not the most charismatic northern blokes try to analyse a game.

Highlights show should be just that, highlights. Cut out the rubbish filler chat and give extended highlights rather than just the tries scores.

the Superleague Show is an expertly aranged sick joke By the BBC.
it couldnt be worse even if Alan Partridge hosted it.

I can only watch it for 5 minutes. I think I just check to See that it is actually being transmitted.

Four minutes fifty five seconds more than me. One look at Gration's knitwear and a migraine-induced blackout occurs.

itv would a much better job tbh but at the end of the day terrestrial tv channels all together probably wouldnt care about rugby league due to the round ball sport but the necromancers shout of channel 4 wasnt a bad shout because maybee they would actually show more than itv or bbc

ITV would be the death knell of Rugby League on terrestrial tv.

The main problem ultimately is that we are a REGIONAL sport on REGIONAL tv.....Most regional tv is amateurish in general and the Super League show is a prime example of this.

For a good idea of what we should look like, take a look at that Football League highlights show on BBC1 on a Saturday night after MOTD.....Simple, well-presented, nicely analysed, I actually prefer it to the of Lineker, Hansen and co before it.

Unfortunately, until the beeb take us seriously as a national sport, then we will continue looking like funny Northerners....However, I'd go with nothing rather than GranadaTV....

ITV...as Alan Partridge once said "you couldn't present a cat"
I wouldn't trust ITV to do owt. Amateurs, is to good a word for them

Channel 4. Well their jewel in their sporting crown (horse racing) is getting less and less coverage in the last 4 years, so I can't see them breaking their neck for our sport.

Channel 5.....no stop it, please. This is comedy now

ESPN. If we go to them, it'll be a BIG backwards step. The sports they allready have (footy & 3 point game) , allready have major presences on other channels. If RFL gave them coverage of our game, it's more audience figures lost to a minority channel

Sky, allready do a decent job, and having heard it from Eddie Hemmings himself, SKY aren't that interested in taking the CCup

Lets face it, it pains me to say it, but we NEED the Beeb. SERIOUSLY. We're never going to get more people into our game (watching or playing) without them.

The Beeb (on the whole, and have done for 50+ years) do sports well.
Yes, the treatment of our sport by them, is, at times, shambolic. BUT, without them, we're goosed.

Do give over. Whether we're on the Beeb or ITV, rlfans would still watch it, it's only a few channels apart. The only thing that's good about the Beeb is the online coverage. Not saying they do a good job, their reporting for RL is poor, but their website is excellent and simplicity of use and radio links are good advantages.

I'd actually like to see ESPN get it, purely because I feel an American influence over RL could be positive.

They'd ban the bomb.

i love ITV's football coverage. Listening to 2 blokes sacked by Championship Side Middlesbrough trying to tell "The Special One" Where his tactics are poor is great telly. At least Shearer, Hansen, Lawrinson & Dixon are all champions & born winners where as Andy Townsend & Gareth Southgate won a League cup once. If ITV got Super League they would probably have Matt Rodwell hosting with Dallas Meade & Steve Georgiallis as the "Experts"

Their International coverage is just as bad. Lets bring out the biggest Ghana fan in the world "Marcel Desailly" He loves Ghana that much that despite being born there, he plays 100 plus time for "France". ITV is just reality TV garbage, Soaps & crap sport coverage. Only Celeb Juice & Harry Hill worth watching on all 4 ITV channels

ITV are pooh. End of.
