And they don't have the rights to it so don't bother talking about it. They pretty much ignored the Olympics last year on Sky Sports News as they didn't have the rights, so I can't imagine them going gangbusters on the Challenge Cup!

The key word being "re-arranged" Celtic v Wakefield
Much as I think it could have been avoided with a little more planning the BBC and Sky do have other programmes to schedule in.
My over all opinion is that this is a positive thing, I can't remember their being a clash of two live matches of rugby league on the telly ever before!

Hull KR v Wire kicks off at 5:30pm on BBC Two with Celtic v Wakefield at 7pm on Sky.
Surprised the RFL allowed this to be honest. I know it not easy for travelling Wakey fans but the usual Friday slot would have been best from a tv point of view.
They made a pact with two devils, they are merely the tail not the dog these days.

Sky Sports News has always been about covering the sports it has the rights to first before anything else - Sky News sports bulletins has a more rounded coverage.

As Crucrucrucrucrusaders said, it's hardly a clash - the games might overlap by about 5-10 minutes. It's no big deal.
