<p>Events on Group B of the list, including the Six Nations, can have live coverage
on subscription television provided that secondary coverage is offered to the eligible
free-to-air broadcasters.</p><p>The Government is clear that the existing list works
well with the inclusion of the Paralympic Games and women’s equivalents of men’s events
currently on the list, on which the Government is consulting, and strikes the right
balance between retaining free-to-air sports events for the public, and allowing rights
holders to negotiate agreements in the best interests of their sport. The Government
therefore has no intention of undertaking a review of the list, or of moving the Six
Nations from the category B list to the category A list.</p>
