TV deal : Thu Jul 13, 2023 1:57 pm  

Looking good now TNT (BT) have thrown their hat in the ring. So we have Sky, DAZN and Channel 4( don’t think they are in a position to bid) I think we’ll stick with sky but hopefully this will improve the money we get. Now just to sit back and watch the RFL screw it up

I would be happy for BT to get it so long as they don’t take that bellend Wilkin with them.

I would rather BT get it for 25m than SKY increase to 30m and keep it.

Needs a fresh approach

Only issue with BT is we may drop in views as people can’t justify paying extra for BT and won’t leave Sky Sports due to the Prem being on it. It would be good if they struck up a deal like Channel 4 were none telivised games would be shown on BT like they do with the Prem. Issue comes is RL doesn’t have that much pulling power for BT to request that

How much is BT? Surely it's way cheaper than Sky Sports? And dunno about you guys, but I wouldn't be prepared to pay that much just to see 'other' SL matches (considering Wigan games are all on Wigan TV eventually, and I go to most of them anyway); I'm already paying to watch all the NRL games.

A lot of Prem fans will have BT sport as well because they have games as well as Champions League.

I don't have Sky, Pieman. I have the NRL online (great value, I think), and Wigan TV.

Just been on the BT site to try to find out. Maybe it's me, but it doesn't seem very clear? There's a package for 18 quid a month (although there is an up-front charge), but I think you need another black box (which they supply)? I was hoping there'd jusat be an app I could pick up on a smart TV. But it seems not. If anyone knows any better... https://www.bt.com/sport/buy#sportpackages
