It was in league express not long after MSK started broadcasting that it would eventually be a subscription channel.

I was hoping that it would be after the playoffs but no such luck!!!!

Somebody asked about that on the Premier Sports Facebook page, this is their replyPremier Sports Hi all, we can provide an extra viewing card for £2.99 a month if you tell the sales team. 0871 663 9000. '"

Well thats Sky's fault probably more than theirs. Can you not just swap the viewing cards round as and when?

Surely if you want to see an "up and under" in your bedroom you will need to subscribe to the adult channels?

Thats not true. Setanta had a 3 year deal of which they were 2 and a half years into when they collapsed last year. If Premier Sports were using up Setantas rights they'd have had the Origin and Grand Final to show. The current deal is a two year effort I believe which continues next year. They are offering a better amount of games that Setanta ever did and have said on their facebook page that once they get some subscription money in they'll look to add the Footy Show and programming from Fox Sports next year.

Thats what Sky and the NRL told me.
They (sky) gave the impression that the state of origin and grand final came under seperate licensing agreements.

In any case whether you say its true or not I sincerely hope that it is and we get rid of the "small" fry trying to con everyone into paying extra.

Anyway Bilko even though I don't know you please keep up the good work you do with stats and info etc. You should get a job with SKy and put the two muppets in their place
