Day One Magic Matches Live on Free to Air!! : Sun May 11, 2014 8:06 am  

Don't shoot the messenger but according to the TV listings the entire programme of matches on Saturday are being shown on PICK TV.
Don't know the reason for this, but great news and an opportunity to showcase the sport to a larger than usual audience live on a Saturday.

There would be complaints from "Police Interceptors" fans if it was 2 days running.

Although I suppose Broncos still qualifies as car crash telly

Car crash telly only for the Dragons having seen them the other night against wire.

Thanks for this! I don't have Sky, so it will be great to get a few of me footy mates round to watch some Live Rugby League on me Freeview telly. Thanks again for the heads up! Appreciate it!

Are the London Broncos ( and Catalans) creating history in Manchester?
Is this the first Superleague Match to be screened live on Terrestrial Television?
Is this something the club could capitalize on?
An email to everyone on its database, facebook, twitter, and whatever social media they use.
Players could mention it on their accounts.
Current and potential Sponsors, another outlet, more exposure for them.
Conference clubs playing on Saturday could tune in before and after their games, a great alternative to the FA Cup Final.
I'm knocking off work earlier on Saturday to catch the games.
I've let everyone I know locally about this forthcoming bonus on Saturday.

Great shout. Am going to try and spread the Gospel as well in the hope that Pick TV do this again! (Presumably when they see the high viewers they have had this coming Saturday). A great surprise this is.
