There’s a point above that I agree with.

TV games should be equally split. If we are wanting to grow the game and for all clubs to strive and grow towards an A licence then there should be equal opportunity to do so.

There is no 'should be'. Tv company will pick based on potential viewing figures and advertising.
Like it or not we are not top of that list.

we are an unfashionable club but the ground is a start
Improved performances on the field are needed as well.
Hopefully the signings we all hope are coming soon (?) will get us up the table!

The ground improvements will make a big difference, having a fixed screen and comfortable place for the commentators.

I thought the commentators would still be in the west stand or would that just be the camera’s?

In all fairness , the state of our ground during the on going up grade could have been a factor. Once completed we may get more exposure

Agreed, I think it’s always been a factor.

Same applies to Salford all be it for different reasons. There ground looks like it’s hosting an Academy game, new and shiny it may be but nobody wants to see that.

Its based on how many people tune in, typically more people watch matches involving the bigger clubs with larger support. Trinity are a small drawcard unless it became car crash tv with a relegation fight.

If we can start to win a few, playing "attractive" RL, neutrals will enjoy watching (much easier said than done.
Equally, if we show up well against some of the more fancied sides, this too will make people tune in or, better still, turn up and watch.

Is there actually any separate payments for being televised? I presumed it's just part of the Sky Sports deal and, as such, just shared out equally amongst the clubs. Advantages of not being televised include bigger attendance and control of match day. Only advantage, unless there is extra income from SKY , is improved exposure for sponsors and players themselves.
Wonder which MC/JM prefer?

It’s certainly not based on finishing positions as stated Warrington this season and Leeds last season puts an end to that.

Not quite sure how it’s decided. Maybe ratings based.

Two teams you've mentioned here, both fantastic stadia and both playing to full houses every home game, add to that both were expected to have very good seasons last year, ideal for marketing the Sky product, without hindsight did you expect both clubs to have bad seasons, although in Leeds case they did come good in the end.
