[QUOTE="Cymro, post: 256567"] Welsh First Minister Rhodri Morgan has urged a UK government department to ensure Six Nations rugby games are always shown live on terrestrial TV. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has A and B lists for the televising of sporting events. A-list or "crown jewel" events must be shown live on a terrestrial channel, while only the highlights of games on the B-list must be made available. The Six Nations is B-listed. The BBC has a deal to show games live to 2013.
