How much League do people want?
If you go through the week theres league just about everywhere, everyday , I don't know if we really need a rugby league channel. Start with Mondays, you got it all day with replays of all the games from the weekend, plus league liftours covering all the weekends games and then on Fox you've got NRL Scoreboard which goes for about an hour. Tuesday theres nothing. Wednesday you've got NRL on fox and rugby league week if your really into it. Then thursday, you've got big league, the footy show and that main game show. Friday you've got the actual game, 10 pages of liftouts in the papers and that half hour roundup and preview at the end of the nine game. Then on saturday, up in qld you've got local league, then about 6 hours of supersaturday, + the super saturday preview. Then sunday you've got all the afternoon games + about 5 hours of league talk on the radio from 2gb , 4bc in Brisbane and the ABC. If you add to this the fact you can probably hear close to an hour of league talk every night of the week on 4bc in brisbane or 2ue in sydney on spors today, then how much more league could you want? Also with the internet now you can talk on these forums about league as much as you want and read articles from all the papers about league.
I'd say the reason the AFL channel fails , and the reason an NRL channel wouldn't be as good as it sounds, is theres only so many times you can talk about a game, or preview matches. I think we here enough Cliches and enough commenators talking and saying nothing as it is. The players never really say anything either when there interviewed. The only good thing about a league channel would be replays of old games, but I'd be happy to just see this on fox sports once in a while. Bascially if I feel like I want to read about league, hear about league, talk about it or watch it I don't have to wait long before I can.
