Oh god.

Why does it really matter what side it's on?

Channel snobs! I have heard some nonsense on VT but this takes the biscuit. Better still Dunbar and Hopie confess to being "channel snobs".

More viewers = More money for the sport

If you don't think the channel the game is broadcast on influences the viewing figures then you are an idiot
Promotion ahead of broadcast and the time of broadcast itself are also important to viewing figures, the challenge cup gains no favours there either
why are 6 nations games on BBC1 saturday prime time? to catch casual viewers! how many casual viewers does the Super league Show get on BBC2 at 4am on a monday night?

It is a well known fact that more people watch BBC1 than BBC2.

It is not a case of so called channel snobbery.

clearly its not nonsense then is it mate..

.....the worst of these people will flatly refuse to watch anything on BBC2 or channel4......and god forbid there's anything good on 5,bbc3,bbc4 etc...


incidentally the best thing i've seen on tv this year was 'our war' about british troops in afghanistan on BBC3..yet nobody watched it....but its gonna be repeated on BBC1 later in the year and 3-4million people will tune in...

'the office' is another classic example of channel snobbery....it did alright on BBC2 but it trebled its viewers when it was on BBC1

What the hell are you talking about - why am I a 'channel snob'?

I will watch RL on any channel any place - I am simply stating over and over again that more casual viewers watch BBC1 than BBC2 and it would therefore be better for our sport to be shown on BBC1 - can you really not understand that point?
