Thats a much better time (I think) have to admit that I don't watch much C4 anymore so not sure what prime time shows there are on there these days

And again 4-30 this afternoon

There have been plenty adverts for Superleague on their digital of shoot channels as well

Regards EW

Has their presenting/commentating line up been confirmed?

Have C4 confirmed when they will air their first live game?

Host is Adam Hills, with Leon Pryce and Kev Sinfield alongside him and the first game is Leeds vs Wire a week today. I think it kicks off at 12.30pm.

Rumours Clive Tyldesley and Helen Skelton are involved. Launch event planned for Monday.

On the face of it this could be a great move. It all depends on Channel 4s attitude towards it. If it's along the lines of their Cricket/NFL coverage it will go a long way to growing our game.

If I have a concern it's that (I'm assuming) they have got it on the cheap so to speak and that could go one of two ways. Either that will leave more budget for the production or they could regard it as "cheap filler".

With only a 10 game season for them, will that be enough to throw everything at it? I hope so...

Their CEO has said that because they don't have a lot of money to spend, that when they do they get behind it 100% as it's still a lot of money to them. The production has was put out to tender to gather ideas on how it's presented to get new fans but keep existing ones entertained too.

10 games is ok the gap between them us the worry they're front loaded then with a play off game. However their intention is a more long term this 2 year deal will be to test the water and see how it is received. I'm excited to see what they come up with their sports coverage is normally good.

Has there been any advertising for the game yet?

Just wondering how they’re planning on getting existing rugby fans to know about the coverage and tune in, as well as attracting new fans.

The 1230 slot on Saturday is football and covered by BT Sport. Unsure whose bright idea it was to compete with that?

They’d have been better doing a 1430 Saturday fixture or 1230 on a Sunday so no competition with premier league games
