Someone would have posted it in the Ratings thread in TFC.
Your an idiot, you don't even know me. But anyway to completely and utterly prove you wrong,
www.barb.co.uk it'll give you detailed ratings for all British TV channels for the last 6 years. People have to pay approx $90 a month for the channels that show Super League. Its not on live national TV. The challenge cup final gets about 1.3m which is on national TV.
On Sky, only the Premier League gets over 1m for games. Super League regularly outrates the equivalent Rugby Union games. The reason Sky pay us something like $25m (£10m) a year is because of the people who specifically get Sky for Rugby League, like myself and pay over $1000 a year for the privelidge.
Very little top sport is on national TV over here. Only international soccer and union, the FA cup and the Champions League. There is no such thing as combined FTA and satellite deals like you guys get.
