The Cup (or at least the Final) is still a listed event which must be shown on FTA. See the actual article linked to

No $hit $herlock!
i posted that i thought that the bbc no longer held the rights to the challenge cup, you replied no, and in your previous statement you said that they no longer had the rights (possibly for the cup final only).
i find it quire ironic that you have posted on a thread titled Interesting when you clearly have little, of any interest to post!

You're going to have to explain how you reached that conclusion, as there's nothing in what I wrote to suggest it.

| Yes. Until the end of the contract at the end of this season. Then it's up for negotiation. But any TV deal (for the final) must be with an FTA broadcaster.

If it's on the list now, it will stay there until 2013; the Govt (such as it is) announced just after coming into power that they were deferring a review of the list until after the digital switch-over in 2012. The logic being that many more channels become FTA via digital TV.
