Premier Sports showed some of the Student RL games a while ago so Im assuming must have paid for camera crews for that and the coverage wasn't bad.

I'd agree that it's still unlikely though.

it would be hopefully turned down by the clubs owners , at the moment the only money comes from the Co oP sponsorship , will they be willing to continue putting money in for a lower level of exposure ?



Only sensible option for the Championships is a Highlights package of 1 or 2 matches a week with a run down of results and preview of upcoming matches , otherwise , leave it alone , we cannot afford it anymore

You will find that most sport channels get an outside company to produce the games.



Premier Sports show Blue Square footie so they must hire a company to produce that for them.



As for Catalan Dragon games. Orange sports shows a few games a season live the rest are shown as live on Sunday mornings.

Well, I’ve got a letter from Premier Sports this morning stating they will be showing Championship games from February 2012.



Showing at least 30 matches from the league, Grand Finals of both Championships & the Cup.



Subscription of £7.99.

Is that £7.99 per month? Any details known of benefits to the clubs or info about the programmes? Either way-i'm subsrcibing.

Likewise, plus continuing NRL coverage of more games than I have time to watch.

Yep, £7.99 a month.



It also says the coverage will have a local Rugby League community approach (whatever that means) & will include behind the scenes features on clubs & staff.



Plus the NRL, which is why I got it in the first place. Far better value than Sky, but, I’ll probably still subscribe now those pesky Crusaders gave my club a lifeline.

Cheers mate, i'm definately in.

Of course they can afford it, they just don't do it because they don't see the point and it's easier to stick within England and Wales.

Probably means something like Channel M; so it will be something like one camera and pi$$ poor commentary.

The Premier Sports email says....



Premier Sports are delighted to announce that Championship Rugby League from England will be coming to the channel live and exclusively from next February 2012. We intend to broadcast at least 30 matches from the league, Grand Finals of both Championships and the Cup. The coverage will have a local rugby league community approach and will include behind the scenes features on clubs and staff. The hope is that the current and new subscribers will feel the £7.99 subscription offers great value with over 180 live rugby league games available to view from Australia's NRL and now the Championship in Britain.

I'll definitely subscribe to that.
