Why would the fixtures be at 3pm on a Saturday ? Also the major games shown on Sky tend to be 4pm on a Sunday, not on a Saturday at 5pm, because people have more things to do on a Saturday evening than a Sunday afternoon

But the original advent of Sunday afternoon games on Sky surely came from the fact they weren't able to show games at 3pm on a Saturday anyway? For decades Saturday afternoon has been seen as the best time for football so it stands to reason that without the blackout rule that would be the time these big games could take place.

Exactly right.

Any new Super League would not have to abide by any blackout rule, whether that be 3pm Saturday or even 4pm Sunday.

I’m not on about the 3pm ruling, more people are out and about on Saturday afternoon than a Sunday early evening, more people work on Saturday than a Sunday
