[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 945456, member: 40658"] At the moment, the only sport being aired on free tv in SA is local Soccer (not all games), international Cricket matches, boxing and WWE Wrestling. All other sports are on Pay TV. And Supersport is the one that signs agreements with the Sports Associations locally and internationally. The matches broadcasted on freetv are 9 times out of 10 bought from Supersport in any case. I think the issue is that Rugby is only available on the premium package, while local soccer is available on the cheaper Compact package and due to cost, more people in the rural areas rather buy the compact package or go to their local pub to watch sport.
