THE BBC are in danger of losing the rights to show the Six Nations.<\/p>\n

The cost of broadcasting one of rugby's biggest tournaments could price the channel out with their income falling. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Outgoing BBC director Barbara Slater said \u201cincredibly difficult\u201d decisions will have to be made.<\/p>\n

The company's revenue has dropped 30 per cent.<\/p>\n

And the Six Nations is not on a list of protected tournaments that the BBC always want to have and it therefore could be axed.<\/p>\n

The World Cup, Wimbledon and the Olympics make the cut.<\/p>\n

There has been reports that a new world rugby league could be formed and TV rights could be sold with the Six Nations potentially involved in a combined deal. <\/p>\n

If it happens then the BBC would further struggle to afford to show the sport which has been on terrestrial tele since 2003.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Their current agreement on broadcasting the Six Nations ends in 2025.<\/p>\n

Slater said: "We need a well-funded BBC if we are going to be able to continue to afford sports rights.<\/p>\n

"Sports rights in the UK have more than doubled in the past decade.<\/p>\n

"It is incredibly difficult for the BBC to maintain, across a range of sports, the expectations of those governing bodies.<\/p>\n

"With the Six Nations, like anything, we will have to assess the affordability at the time. <\/p>\n

"Because it is very difficult for the BBC, on that trajectory of income, to continue to afford everything that we have. <\/p>\n

"The truth is we\u2019re probably not going to be the highest bidder, and it will come down to individual governing bodies as to how they balance that reach and revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n
