Suite 1500 Toronto, ON CANADA M4W 3M5 (416) 967-2471 jcollins@canwest.com To whom it may concern, Live coverage of International rugby matches on network or cable TV is essentially non-existent in North America, even during the Rugby World Cup. Thus, the January 21st announcement by BBC America to air matches from the 2010 Six Nations Championship is welcome news to the thousands of rugby players and fans in American. In addition, we expect the popularity of rugby to increase in preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympics and thus live rugby could be a growth area in both America and Canada for broadcasters of this type of programming. Thus, we the undersigned strongly support BBC America in their live broadcast of the 2010 Six Nations Championship as announced on 21-Jan-2010 and would encourage both BBC America and BBC Canada to schedule more live programming of rugby union. Yours in rugby, The Undersigned 1623 have signed so far - help us get to 50,000.  We have achieved 3.25% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress Sign this petition to send a message to BBC America and BBC Canada that the ruggers in Canada and the US want more rugby action.
