Some more details of the upcoming rugby league season:
- The new streaming service Super League+ is set to launch on January 23. The Examiner article below says it will show every Super League game live. It is unclear whether Sky have two games exclusively each round.
- For the first 15 rounds of the season, every SL game will be shown on Sky Sports channels (example below).
- After that, Sky Sports is set to launch its own streaming platform/app, which will also be the home of their extra EFL games (and probably other extra streams like tennis I guess).

Confirmed here in an internal memo.
I'm surprised he has left tbh, because freelancing and appearing across multiple outlets is far from uncommon today. Another of today's signings, Mark Wilson, was on talkSPORT, Channel 4 and occasionaly Sky last season without issue for example, and was working for talkSPORT at Bolton tonight, so a good chance he isn't leaving there.
I guess Matt Newsum will be promoted to BBC #1. Maybe not neccesarily rugby league correspondent, as the likes of Mike Costello (athletics and boxing) and Roddy Forsyth (Scottish football) weren't succeeded in those titles when they have left recently. Matt doing two of England men's matches in the Autumn ahead of Dave was a possible hint that this has been on the cards for a few months?
