Could they not be on seperate channels, i.e. Mix, Main Event and Arena or whatever they are called

I'd imagine it will be red button on Friday nights for those games that clash with the main 8pm game. They sometimes do it for Championship football games midweek so you go and pick which one you want to watch.

Wigan Today saying the Beeb have got the C4 slot including showing the Penrith game live

I know people moan about these deal not bringing in the cash but the sport it’s pretty much non existent in this country. Showing a near on packed DW with, what’s expected to be a cracker of a game on TV free is surely going to excite people. Also the NRL will hopefully commit to future WCC off the back of good viewing figures as it opens up their market

It's the non captive audience though that these kind of games (world club challenge) the likes of the BBC needed to be aiming at, RL fans in general will tune in to watch the game, it's the new and next generation of audiance that the BBC/RFL need to be aiming for.
If the BBC only show adverts for it during a RL related programme then they are preaching to the converted, they need to be advertising this kind of game at peak viewing times like before/after Eastenders or whatever other popular programmes are on the BBC, even try and get it into the script on Eastenders, there must be at least one RL fan amongst the cast and crew.

Could be that our away game at Cas might be televised. Down as a Saturday 3pm kick off but that could easily be changed.

Mail Sport has learned that BBC Sport have seen off competition from Channel 4 to secure live Super League games for the first time in a deal that will see at least 12 matches-a-season shown live on BBC Two on Saturday evenings from next month. The BBC’s coverage will complement that of Super League’s main rights holder Sky Sports, who will show all six games live each week for the first time when the competition resumes with the Hull derby on 15 February. In addition, BBC Two will broadcast 12 live regular season matches, with more to be made available in BBC iPlayer, as well as two play-off games at the end of the season and the World Club Challenge between Wigan and NRL champions Penrith Panthers on 24 February. The BBC are also set to extend their live rights deal for the Challenge Cup, which expires at the end of this year, until the end of the 2026 season. Super League and the BBC declined to comment. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby ... index.html Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan Top endoman Posts: 553 Joined: Sun Jan 17, 2010 7:22 pm Re: BBC to screen live Super League matches on a Saturday evening for next three years in major boost for RL

I would say that the Cas game is likely to be on the red button/app or whatever as it only starts at 2.55 with a 3.00 KO. Whereas the Cats/Wire game previews at 17.30 with a 18.00 KO.
