Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[beave]

In what way ? The war could be worse ,,,sure …but we have had petrol rationing before …

we had rationing when we actually made some our own fuels, this could be rationing at a whole different level. Cost of everything will skyrocket......

No doubt …Albo can stop the fuel excise to provide a bit relief ..although even if the war stops tomorrow there will be months ahead of less than 100 percent capacity so rationing will become a reality …

I still don’t put that on the same levels as Covid where most businesses were forced to close and most of us became prisoners inside our houses for months … some parts of the country ( Sydney and Melbourne) did it much tougher than others don’t forge but it still cost the country like a trillion dollars or something and the government was paying a lot of people to not work

of course if the war continues , gets worse, spreads to block other shipping lanes than all bets are off …it’s just as likely to be over in two weeks … we just don’t know today

Lowering the cost of something increases demand... Surely when supply is limited that is completely the opposite of what you should be doing?

Prices still won’t be falling ..lol …just not increasing as much… this is the only lever the Govt can pull to try to alleviate cost of living pressures associated around the fuel price increasing …. The demand for petrol is inelastic

People need to fill up their tanks regardless but sure it’s a drop in the ocean what they are doing especially if oil goes to 200 a barrel

Feds can afford to do it the budget deficit has fallen to one percent of gdp which is our only saving grace if we go into a recession as they can afford to stimulate

Purely anecdotal but twice this week I’ve noticed my local 7 11 out of all petrol except whatever supreme is

On top of the tv deal in worried about any impact to crowds and the nrl Itself but unlike Covid we have around 200 million on cash but the hotels won’t be going so good (they are under lease except Gambaro)

WFH would save a lot of petrol too so there’s that

The budget deficit might be falling …unfortunately the debt is rising …. It will top a trillion soon..this has been an issue for a while though

This for me is the most immediate threat facing the world economy, all over the world countries have ridiculous debt to GDP ratios, the interest on that debt is taking a bigger and bigger proportion of all countries budgets to service, and that`s not even paying the debt down.
There`s going to be a reckoning on this very soon, the Yanks are already finding it hard to get institutions to fund their borrowings, and having to pay higher interest, somethings got to give.

yes it’s a worry … and the chickens are going to come home to roost one day… the US is much worse … but no one mentions it anymore… I don’t know how that debt is ever getting paid back

Not an issue in Australia hence the budget being close to balance or even a surplus

USA is still running budget deficits of 6 percent of gdp before the cost of the war and rebuilding are factored in which will be a trillion at least

not an issue ? Australian Govt pays 2 Billion per MONTH interest on the national debt … imagine that money going into hospitals or even building us a nice new stadium?

that interest amount is only going one way too..

615 Sunday isn’t as good as Sunday 2 pm especially for these dud games

 

[stratocaster]

Channel 10 should air Sunday Night Football.

They pulled 423k for Survivor nationally last night vs 1.8 mill for MAFS on 9 & 932k for idol. 600-700k for NRL would make them semi-competitive.

There's 3 ways of doing it.

Option 1) 6-8pm block
Pro: allows the NRL to still sell 4-6 to FTA as a news-lead in - same as other options too
Pro: great counter programming to 7/9 reality trash (MAFS/Idol etc)
Pro: a 4-6pm slot in WA as a news-lead in for a 6pm news slot
Cons: head-to-head with 7&9 news on East Coast
Cons: would be beaten by 7,9 & ABC in Melbourne (guess what though: they are already!)

Option 2) 7-9pm block
Pro: avoids news clash - more chance for change over viewers
Con: later finish for attendees
Con: later start for post-game non-NRL programming
Con: 5-7pm WA, 6:30-8:30 SA slots -- unlikely to be on the main station but NRL could push for it give how dismal channel 10 news ratings are

Option 3) 6:30-8:30pm block
Pro: still a partial news clash -- however you'll get a lot of mid-news changers after the main headlines -- see below for a solution
Pro: you can put 8:30-9:30 follow-on family programming like Survivor etc
Pro: in NSW & QLD - 6:00-6:30 could be pre-game show which is cheap to produce & would be greater ratings than what 10 currently get
Pro: matches the current 8:30-8:45 switchover most programs have on Sundays now
Con: 4:30 - 6:30 in WA, 6:00-8:00 SA - awkward times slots - as before
Con: later finish for attendees

Given that 10 News Sunday only pulls 189k, I'd go option 3.

If I were really technical, it'd go something like this

5pm News -- honestly, I'd also buy sunday afternoon NRL to air from 3:30-5:30 and reduce news to 5:30-6:00 to encourage follow-through viewers -- but one thing at a time

6pm Sports Tonight -- bring back the old format once a week. 1/3 is other sports. 1/3 is other NRL action. 1/3 is the NRL preview show for Sunday Night Football. Will rate higher than regular NRL pre-game shows.

6:30pm Brief 1 minute recap of Sports Tonight headlines - for channel changers to prevent changing back - give all the scores/key highlights

6:31 SNF starts - 1 minute set up

6:33 First ad break - short - immediately include weather recap/forecast - again to prevent changers needing 7 & 9's sport and weather

6:35pm - kick off
8:20pm-ish post game wrap up or overtime
8:30pm jump into other prime time programming

Then hand me some money for resurrecting Channel 10 as an entity

 

[BODISGOD]

What did Abdo say specifically and where is this quoted ?

Sounds to me now you are trying to hide behind semantics of discussion versus negotiations … moot point really,,,neither you nor I will know the specifics of what has been mentioned during the talks

It’s literally in the results from last month.

This is a weird form of “gotya”. Do you think this masks your mediocre contributions on this topic?

Are you talking about the Annual Report that was released before they went to Vegas ?

I find your contributions ordinary as well … you make definitive statements on one hand , but very vague responses when asked to back them up … you have had 4 goes at ithis one so far, but we are still in the dark

The “I know you are but what am I” variety of posting.

I simply give you information that the Australian press seem to ignore. Nobody seems to be discussing the actual specifics of the media companies involved or the wider sports rights environment.

Here’s more on Paramount just from the last week.

Democrats call for review of Paramount's Middle Eastern financial backers

Middle Eastern royal families previously pledged $24 billion to help the Larry Ellison family buy Warner Bros. Discovery

www.latimes.com

Interest rates likely to go up with the war and a focus on the Middle Eastern backers on the deal, these being the same Middle Eastern backers who are now being squeezed by the war.

But yeah, Channel 10 could show the NRL over Survivor so they should pay hundreds of millions for the rights more than the incumbents.

I’ve given you very specific posts on the state of DAZN, 9 and 7 too.

All this is irrelevant to you guys though because a couple of media executives went to a corporate box. Small time is probably understating it…

If the shoe fits …

Seems like you have given up trying to argue that Abdo said there were no negotiations in Vegas before he even went over there

Back to the doom and gloom

I just pointed to a fact. That there has been discussions is obvious. What a weird thing to pick up on, but again, when there’s a lack of depth that’s the approach from you it seems.

I think we have different interpretations of what a fact is ….I don’t think it’s weird to ask people to back up what they say … particularly when the response is confined to …”look they literally said it a month ago”

With such deep knowledge of the Australian tv market imagine you went on a union forum and posted about how the Ireland rugby union could get a tv deal that doesn’t stop clubs going close to broke ?

Should be like norway, Norway are smart!! $2trillion in the bank as they didnt hand over their natural resources to billionaires and multinationals. Imagine how rich australia would be if we’d done the same! Could be free tickets to nrl games for everyone!
