Premier league rights, how it affects RL : Tue Feb 10, 2015 5:22 pm
Just been announced that sky have retained most packages for the 2017/2019 seasons. However a few changes are they have got Saturday lunchtimes instead of Saturday evenings. Also they have Friday night games, I think it is 10 per season to start off with. Now we've all heard how RL is one of the most watched sports on sky which is believed to be one of the reasons why we moved to Thursday's when they acquired Saturday evening football. So assuming they won't show RL and premier league at the same time, we could lose some friday games? I'm a big fan of friday games, hopefully they move the thursday games back to Saturday evenings now, and also hopefully schedule most friday premier league games for the rugby off season, however having RL on Fridays mainly and the odd Thursday game wouldn't be too bad.
If we go back to permanent saturdays and majority fridays i would be pleased with that.
Thoughts?
