As a matter of interest, is C4 regional? I don't think it is, in which case it will be nationwide and not buried in the regions like the BBC used to do. so when it comes to introducing new audiences it's ideal.

There could also be a highlights show that would be great.

I think your right, when I said national I knew it was nationwide I just wasn't sure if it has regional variations.

They also have a pretty good streaming service for catch up. 4 is actually a really good medium for us I think.
It'll be important to get those games right so they come back for more.

If I was the RFL I would subsidise them and get the place packed with cheaper tickets

Couldn't agree more. I hate subsidised tickets but for ten games a season to make our game look more dynamic I'd do it.

£10 refund to all ST holders for that game and £10 tickets for the rest. The RFL to pick up the tab with the club, say 70/30 in the club's favour.

Just for year one, not forever.

Channel 4 always try forward thinking ideas , the recent Paralympics been a success over the past 9 years. Also they introduced us to Serie A football in the 90s, up until then I had only heard of Lazio because Gazza had played for them. They don`t seemed phased to introduce new programmes , so hopefully this might push Rugby League in to the public eye.

They like their "firsts" don't they?
First channel to broadcast overnight too.
Another plus is that the new Channel 4 HQ is in Dirty Leeds - can only be a help as far as I can see......

Are the games on the Main Channel 4 or one of their lesser channels?
