I don't know if they do or not but out of the 27 games this year if they do get extra payments Sky must be sponsoring Warrington

Im not 100% but Sky used to pay a certain amount, quite a large amount, to the RFL to show RL games, and the RFL share this equally between all SL teams.
Sky can then choose a certain amount of games to show, but they can choose any.

I think this still happens but someone else may have to confirm this!

Sky pay the money at start of year and have the rights for any match they like.

AFAIK they agreed a record deal at the end of last season/beginning of this season to televise Super League games until 2011. BBC also has a share of international games.

As said a fee is paid to the RFL at the start of each season, with clubs then getting a lump fee for televised games.

I'm sure I heard from someone that the payment each club gets is roughly 12k.
