Who would have thought it? Once again BT are following through on their hopes for broadcasting FTA. Excellent.

I seem to remember a few doubters...

Mind you it is interesting in the context of the socio-political context of the BBC's uncertain future.

Certain Coalition members might want kick the FTA BBC into the long grass.

What that would do with any Knesset Welsh Assembly is anyone's guess.

And that would include S4C.

Excellent news, thanks for posting that.

Shame that the potentially intriguing Sale vs Saints game is not getting coverage.

They couldn't air every game though and the Wembley and Paddies Day games are probably bigger draws on Sat while Sunday sees Tigers (lots of fans) play Exeter (everyone's second team).

Presumably, yappy, BT decided to schedule the Wasps game over the Saints one.

Friday's game isn't likely to pull in too many punters.

Saints are the team of the season so far and Sale are the side in the richest vein of resurgent form.
I know which I'd prefer to watch.

The games were not shown 'Free To air', on terrestral TV as the title of this linked article suggests. They were only available to Virgin, Sky and BT customers.

Misleading and disappointing.

And Freeview

I have Freeview, and it wasn't available on that either...

And apparently I wasn't wrong.

If BT only show the Top Teams they are slagged off, when they show two teams who rarely feature they are slagged off.

People should less damned fickle.

Newcastle v Worcester this week. Now that's a fixture worth watching.

All all I was saying that Sale v Saints was a more mouth-watering option last Friday when 4/6 of the Jeff matches were on the telly over the weekend.
