Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Canard]

Where’s the posters who said Foxtel couldn’t afford to pay much and the weak advertising market would hinder nine

Never change Lu

This will be the first time in history the nrl tv deal will surpass afl

You read one Buzz article and start pulling your dick hard. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

If STV is so lucrative right now, why did News sell out?

I believe DAZN have an office in New York which is what I'm assuming Buzz is referring to.

They were apparently guests of DAZN at MetLife stadium for the fifa club WC.

They were apparently guests of DAZN at MetLife stadium for the fifa club WC.

It is no secret that the Club World Cup would not be happening in the way it is now happening without Dazn. In December 2024 Dazn offered Fifa a jaw-dropping $1bn (£787m) for the broadcast rights, all the more startling in a market that was, to that point, also Uncontested.

A month later Saudi Arabia concluded its own deal to buy a 10% stake in Dazn in return for – guess what – another $1bn. Two months after that Fifa announced its vast tournament prize fund, also, by coincidence, $1bn, thereby ensuring full compliance from its invited guests.

In the middle of this, around the time the soon-to-be-Saudi-part-owned Dazn was concluding its Fifa TV rights deal, Fifa awarded the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia via a show of Uncontested applause from its members, thereby completing what is no doubt an entirely illusory circle of hand-washing.

Uncontested: Dazn’s $1bn story reveals why the Club World Cup is really here

Saudi-backed streaming superpower’s broadcasting deal for Fifa’s global project is the next expansionist step towards a world super league

Some interesting background on DAZN.

You’re not suggesting FIFA is corrupt?

Anyone got any real news about the next broadcast deal, or do we just have to wait until PVL leaks it to the News Ltd gronks ?

yawn

 

[Cactus]

So far its all posturing & positioning.

When it gets down to actual bidding watch the leaks flow from both PVL & 9. By the time we hear a deal has been done it will be weeks after the handshake and when the lawyers have ticked off on it.

Buzz was pretty nonchalant about dazn not getting the tv rights

If Stan do get the rights they would need to get a lot of the fox commentators on board

Would wonder if they still ran nrl360 or just brushed the nrl entirely

Is he going to be so balls deep in News anymore, given how little influence they have over the game anymore (except the papers etc.)

What, Buzz talking about super secret meetings didn't guarantee a bigger deal than afl for you?
