| Good to see they're continuing covering RL again in the coming season.

| I think it was always 2 years initially, but like any show…would reserve the right to drop it if ratings fall. CH4 duty is to its advertisers, not RL.

Absolutely, all about advertising revenue. Hopefully, it will work for C4 and RL so that the initial two year period will be extended.

C4 is all about eyeballs. I don’t see much direct financial gain from it. Hopefully it builds to that point, but it’s a good way to introduce people / lapsed people to the sport.

It helps that CH4 is based in Leeds. They can’t hide from the Rhinos being the best supported RL club currently.

Absolutely true. But I can't help but feel like C4 is just trying to do us a bit of a favour. They aren't willing to do much to grow the game, but "if we get the views then great"

C4 being able to reach a wider audience on a non-subscription channel was the reason for posting. That's a big positive for me, with hopefully getting more people interested in the game.

| The beauty of games on C4 & BBC is that they can be viewed nationally by the average viewer & not just a viewer who has sky sports. Best way to spread the game .

| My personal opinion was that after the fanfair and big build up of the first few games. This quickly dwindled. I found it disappointing that there were large gaps (weeks) where no game would be on CH4 and then i never saw any of the other games because i never knew they were on. Granted that is partially my fault for not checking. But i never saw any adverts on TV or online in the build up to any of the games apart from the first few. Other than that i thought it was good with it being a great refreshing change to the usual sky sports tripe.

Hopefully the ten games per season was a tester. Be good to see 2x live games and 1FTA per week, in similar time slots.

As you stated there, we didn't get games on C4 for a while. We need multiple, consistent broadcasters. Sky, Channel 4 and the BBC needs a share of games. The structure of the League is poor as well, with loop fixtures being the key issue.
Matches on Sky and C4 look professional because they know what they're doing, but they don't really care about RL because not enough fans do either. Anything outside of Sky and C4, Super League looks like an amateur competition.
I personally think Super League needs radical changes. There are some simple changes we can make which a lot of fans want but I don't think it will help long term because it will feel like the same product.
