Quote: Sesquipedalian "So if they don't get the rights to the next Football world cup can we expect that SKY Sports News will be all but devoid of any news about it?
It might sound a bit grandiose but the RLWC13 is the largest multi national event taking place this year, I fail to see how a Sports News Channel can ignore it and think that they're still credible.'"
No, they wouldnt ignore the football world cup, because it is the premier global attraction and they'd see value in covering it.
Regardless of the RLWC being the largest multi national event, its Rugby league, which sky were clearly prepared to make a stand over.
I totally get what you're saying, but unfortunately, or fortunately depending which side of the fence you sit on, I think weve seen sky make their bed over RL and I think the SL rights will be with another premium sports channel before not too long!
