| The Sky deal for the Championship also covers Championship 1 games.
Keighley played Dewsbury twice and I think Oldham and York had a game apiece too.
If I remember correctly the York tripled their normal crowd for their game so it's got to be worth it for the clubs.
Also isn't any Rugby League on TV good for our sport?

| didn't sky start showing CC games because another station was interested in the first place?
Sort of makes what Graig Spence says look stupid.

| Sky started showing them because the RFL negotiated it as part of the SKY SL deal.
Otherwise they'd have have had no interest, but the Championship fans won't tell you this.

| I remember reading a few years back another station wanted to show some games, sky then came to the party and started showing a live game on Thursdays because they had the rights.

| Eurosport were willing to show it if the RFL paid to have the show made, in reality, no chance. Thursday nights was negotiated into the 08/09 tv deal i think.

They will when they come on line , yes the Championship TV deal is part of the SL deal , the RFL approached another broadcaster to cover the Championships and were told they would have to pay , SKY then apparently offered to do the coverage for free , this also then brought the CO OP to the table with a £ 4,000 per match offer as part of the league sponsorship deal [ I am assuming that Northern Rail are matching this for the 2 play off games that are now covered , the deal is for coverage of the Championships [ both divisions
The issue is , how much do the clubs benifit from this coverage ? , bearing in mind that all clubs dont get covered and many clubs lose money on the coverage
Personnally unless there is an actual cash benifit I dont see many positives for the competition being on live TV , a better idea would be for a highlights show [ possibly on a monday night as the O/P suggested covering one game from each division , meaning that all clubs get featured during the season at home on a day when they can make best use of that coverage'" Showing any live RL has got to be good hasnt it.
The Thursday night games seem to have considerably higher crowds and would CO OP have sponsored the comp without the coverage on SKY

Has it ? , why how do the clubs benifit ?
Do they ? , not if you take away the 200 family tickets the clubs are obliged to give out
Possibly not , but how much is that sponsorship worth ?

| What you hope is that the impressive ratings for the Championship thus far allow a better hand at the next negotiating table. One week recently the Championship outrated the Guiness Premiership.
No, it isn't going to get a multi million pound deal but from small seeds grow bigger plants

| The point of this subject is that if you are going to give up the ' live ' aspect of your sport , there must be some financial recompense , if there is not then you dont give it up , if as in Internationals you are able to sell over 75 % of your venues then it doesn't matter , the regular season matches should not be televised live

I would suggest that a magazine programme on a monday night showcasing 2 matches would pull in ratings just as good as a live thursday night game , it would have less impact on attendances , would show the championships in a better light as there would be more travelling support and also give a better fairer spread of coverage

| Let's get the RFL lobbying Sky, it would be a tonic for the Championship 1 teams in terms of publicity and national exposure. With teams from Gateshead, London and South Wales it would probably also help de-bunk the myth or RL being just a northern game.

From the other thread about a possible reduction in SKY , highly unlikely , no money , then drop the thursday game , get back to focusing on getting fans through the doors

No loads of other RL fans watch them all the time , including most SL club fans I talk to , but if there is no financial benifit to the clubs , dump them

Agreed, highlights package on Sky for C1 wouldn't be a bad idea. With C1 Play off games perhaps being shown live.

Gateshead were shown at least twice last season and London once. If South Wales stay at the top of the table there is a good chance one of their games will be shown live later in the season.

I know. Gateshead were shown the previous season when they were promoted. Sky do show non heartland clubs when the games are worth showing.
