    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Optus is bigger than Newscorp, and Singtel has a market cap only 10bn smaller than Newscorp & 21st century fox combined. Their problem is they are up against Telstra as well as News Corp.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Newscorpse back on the offensive tomorrow, Wilson still rambling on about Grant and Smith, despite the latter being gone for a month now, no doubt more fabricated nonsense & half truths. I can't recall the last article she wrote that didn't include Dave Smith. Very bizarre obsession. Kent...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Optus is also now fighting against a merged TPG-iinet with 1.7m broadband subscribers to Optus's 1m broadband subscribers. They know they need more to differentiate themselves from the budget broadband providers, particularly once the NBN is up and running, content will do that. What would be...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    it's nonsense, they are just trying to exploit the beef between the clubs and the ARLC over funding, knowing it's tied to the rights deal. Although, the NRL can still reach an agreement with clubs based on a percentage of revenue, if the game can get that funding issue sorted out and the clubs...

    It appears that the NRL are doing something about NewsCorps spin, @NRLMedia launched today and has already rebuked NewsCorp reports about the chairman's meeting. https://www.twitter.com/nrlmedia

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Netflix launched this year, SBS now have a food channel, Nine are about to launch a Lifestyle channel, Optus pinched the EPL, Nine pinched an extra NRL FTA game, in a single year foxtel have lost plenty of reasons for people to subscribe. Newscorp spruiked their big proposal like it was a done...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    The whole 'telco optus doesn't have a platform' is obviously the new narrative by News Corp, with it appearing in both the Australian & the telegraph today. Add it to their desperate 'proposal' last week which they reported as a done deal and Optus obviously has them very spooked. Usually in a...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    You can't get a $3m handout and still expect to be allowed to threaten not to sign participation agreements, if any club wants to keep using that stick then they should have to pay the $3m back. You can't have your cake & eat it too. Asking for an additional 'dividend' of any surplus the game...

    NSW SOO Center of Excellence

    In the announcement video Peponis said he spoke to Grant 'a few days ago' and he thanked Grant for assuring them they would receive the same support, 'financial & non-financial', that the ARLC gave the QRL for it's new HQ. The NSWRL goes out of it's way to distinguish itself from the...

    NSW SOO Center of Excellence

    Says it all about the dinosaurs running the NSWRL, just can't play ball if they aren't in charge. Meanwhile, the game in NSW suffers as these people would rather use the NSWRL to play politics against the ARLC/NRL. Who's on the NSWRL board again...
