Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

If there is only one buyer, not necessarily. They can get it at lesser rates than if there were competing offers. Its why, for example, many people sell their homes via auction.

Yeah but if you have an auction and only 1 bidder shows up... that is the value of the place

An interesting take on the politics of a DAZN deal. Not that I think Vlandys will care, he'll just care about the $'s.

Which just about every sport's administrator worth his salt does . You're the first to bag PVL if you consider the deal is less than expected.

It’s funny a pommie rugby league journo thinks afl getting 418 million pa from fox is perfectly ok but nrl negotiating with them is bad

But then again he works for the roar who post rubbish articles about rugby league

Behind the click baitey headline it’s a positive article about nine going up against a cashed up Dazn / Fox

Oh great, another alt account.

Pretty easy to spot.

Offers zero to the conversation attacks a poster, my tip is Moron Matt

Though on this, the amount of people who think it is just black and white is crazy.

There are heaps more that goes into whether NRL is viable as a TV product or not for the networks

Not really mate … three paragraphs and a couple of very old quotes from PVL and the Nine guy written by some numpty

And only ever posts in expansion, tv rights and crowd threads. Easy sign that it's the same person setting up all the alt accounts.

The Optus deal expires the year the new nrl deal begins, it’s not going to stop Nine making a play for the nrl rights.

Nothing article. In the three year deal, Nine is paying $60 million annually, while Optus is still contributing at $40 million a year. Nine is not paying the full cost of the rights.

Nine is also chasing the rights to Formula One.

Honestly, I've never really seen you post anything except when taking pot shots at other posters. Do you actually follow Rugby League?

There is no question the NRL is a viable TV product.

It’s the most valuable product on Australian television

Nobody fought a super league war over the afl pay tv rights

Fox didn’t even have the afl for ages and still grew the business to be worth billions

At any price? Of course it is viable to a point.

And everybody would like a series like state of origin. Thank goodness it’s ours!

I thought you would throw that $ qualifier in. Why dont you just say/admit its the most valuable product on Australian TV & deserves top dollar.

Instead so many comments here attempt to make the glass half full or empty analogy redundant as you lot wont even fill the glass on the baseless fear of it leaking.

Sorry I wasn't clear but ch7 and ch10 know what ch9 pay. If they saw it as unders then they would jump on it

They also talk to the same marketing companies etc so know all the information they need

Have they ever offered it as a separate package though?

Sure do. Seems only 1 of us actually watches and talks about games.

You know Seven has its budget lock-up with AFL, but you know that already. Ten which has gone broke or in receivership in under ten years ago and is now owned by Paramount Global /CBS TV USA. Network 10 make just enough revenue to pay for the rights package they buy off their Owners. Unfortunately a die in the wool AFL woman runs the place (from Sydney). Vlandy has to go over her head, however good news at this point as the Paramount/Sky Dance merger is nearly complete, then maybe over top meetings could take place. One has to pitch it to US head(s) if any bid comes from them. This is the pitch 'take the NRL and become ( at least) the second best rated Tv network' instead of coming last! Good sport $$'s for the PayTv Australia and even in USA. At least take a minor package of 2 FTA games and 2 PayTv. (for Paramount+) Even go to WOMAN boss- at least you get a decision, which Vlandy can escalate up to the USA bosses. Maybe see ESPN, which are now in Australia and who are the biggest SPORTS rights owner worldwide. They can't have the full package anyway buts what stopping them getting a 4 PyTv games set. . Let them bid for the Friday 2 games and Sunday 2 games. So we sell multiply times: Nine , Network 10, Foxtel/Kayo AND ESPN. This works when say Nine play hard ball ( if they are going for what they have now and won't pay big) and only sightly increase $$ bid, Bring in Ten, the same with Foxtel/kayo if they don't play record amount, fine we also sell to ESPN as well as to you. WE DECIDE EXCLUSIVITY

Ten offered 600 million for the afl rights they have money

But as you say afl centric
