What happens

The Super League Show is a weekly television programme showing highlights from the Super League. The show was initially presented by Harry Gration, and from 2012 was presented by Tanya Arnold. Match commentary came from Dave Woods, Matt Newsum, Sharon Shortle and Tim Steere, with some additional commentary occasionally coming from BBC Local Radio commentators. The programme was produced by PDI Media at BBC Yorkshire's studios in Leeds. Gration and Arnold were joined by one or more guests each week, who gave their thoughts and analysis of the match highlights shown. These segments were originally filmed in a studio, but in later series were filmed pitch-side at one of the week's games. In February 2024, BBC Sport announced a three-year deal with the league, replacing Channel 4 as the league's live free-to-air partner. The deal added 15 live matches a year to the broadcaster's platforms, but ended the show after 25 years, with condensed highlights of all games instead being added to BBC iPlayer within 24 hours.
