Sky TV & RU 6 Nations : Fri Mar 06, 2020 10:44 pm
Sky TV [according to reports in mainstream press] are apparently favourites to land the RU 6 Nations contract.They have put a £300 million bid in for the rights to Rugby Union six nations competition from 2022, even though it is supposedly protected by rights to view on terrestrial [non pay] TV.
This does not sound very good news for Super League who are, i think negotiating a new contract with Sky for when the current one ends, is it next year ?
The current contract we have with Sky, is peanuts to what they are offering for Rugby Union's 6 Nations, which is just a 15 match competition.
