THE Rugby Football League board of directors is likely to make a decision this week on whether to go ahead with an offer from broadcaster Premier Sports to screen Championship matches this season.
Premier Sports, which is about to complete its demerger from Viaplay, giving it more control over its domestic broadcasting policy, are thought to have offered to stream all the Championship games this season (seven matches per week) with some of those games being shown on its main channels.
Premier is thought to have been keen to guarantee coverage to all the clubs in order to boost its own subscription numbers, with all the fans of Championship clubs, including Toulouse, able to subscribe in the knowledge they could watch their club every week via the Premier streaming service.
