Protect the 6 Nations Championship & Ensure Live Free to Air Broadcast
The 6N is a UK sporting icon, steeped in history & culture. We believe it fuels national pride, unites communities, inspires male and female youth and is crucial for social cohesion. We think maintaining free-to-air TV in the UK market would ensure equitable access, vital for a healthy nation.
