Quote ="Slugger McBatt"I have the full Sky package because of RL. I cannot be alone in that. If they took RL from it, I doubt I would keep Sports on, even though it is only a few quid add-on from the Movies. I would probably get a basic package, and rely on Netflix and Premier Sports for my needs.
I'm sure I am not unique in that.
And of course there is the advertising revenue generated through premium slots for a sport that continually produces healthy figures for Sky,
The same with football, the bond is one of mutual dependency (albeit not nearly as crucial for Sky as it is for RL)'"
I'm in exactly the same position re Sky subscription.
As for Sky's revenue off the back of RL - in addition to the subscribers drawn in by RL, I believe that SL is the second most watched team sport on Sky after wendyball, so they're doing alright out of TGG.
