    Our radio rights dream dashed for the moment.

    All the talk in this thread about Triple M 'scaling down' their NRL commitments have little basis in reality. As this post sums up and as per what Dan said on the Rush Hour last week (11:40mins onwards): a) The Saturday night AFL game wouldn't interfere with any NRL commitments since the 7:30pm...

    2GB, ABC or Triple M, who do you listen to for your league coverage?

    Think you're reading into his comments things which weren't said or hinted at. For example, there was nothing expressly or implicitly said about who was making the calls about rights negotiations. What you're referring to is his discussion about how Triple M Sydney's desire to 'protect' their...

    Nine sports boss Tom Malone kicks off rugby league ratings war with Fox Sports

    I remember Vossy saying on Twitter Fox isn't contractually allowed to do that until 2018

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Of course Nine's coverage was always going to win ratings-wise when only around 30% - 35% of households have a Foxtel subscription. Frankly, a good journalist would have challenged Malone on that quote instead of publishing something which is making an apples to oranges comparison

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Coverage was definitely live on Gem in Melbourne because that's how I viewed the game whilst having Fox's coverage on the iPad.

    The Footy Show 2016

    Doubt it. Due to Cameron Williams leaving Nine a week or so ago, Yvonne (being the #2 presenter last season) has a pretty good chance of becoming the lead presenter this season

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Exactly. It would mean the Thursday & Friday night games are able to feature as standalone primetime matches for FTA viewers while Fox viewers get a tripleheader on Saturday and Sunday + a Sunday doubleheader on Nine. I know it's only one change from what's offered through the new rights...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    One thing I don't understand is why weren't the NRL more 'forceful' in the negotiations about certain aspects. For example if I was the NRL, I would have tried to make Fox Sports give up the Sunday 2pm game in exchange for regaining the Saturday night game. That way Fox would retain their 'Super...

    Next TV rights deal

    I wouldn't rule out finals (except the GF) being simulcasted as well seeing that's what Fox Footy currently does in the AFL & Fox will likely push for the same arrangement to happen

    '14 // QF2 // Sun // Storm 4-28 Bulldogs // AAMI

    Game should have started either 3:50pm or 4pm, so there would be enough time to have a decent post-game (interviews and brief analysis) before the news. Not having a post-game for a finals match is a joke. However this is Nine we're talking about, a lot of things about their NRL coverage is...

    South Australian NRL Coverage by Channel 9

    Noticed at the end of last weeks FNF broadcast when they do the promo for next weeks game, they removed the GEM broadcast time for Adelaide viewers which was there in previous weeks

    South Australian NRL Coverage by Channel 9

    Exactly, IIRC it was part of Nine's agreement with the NRL that their matches would in each state either air on Nine or GEM. As such, the NRL should be demanding that Nine honour their contract. However as seen with the bit about two hours of NRL content on Ch 94, the NRL/Nine are useless as...

    Saturday afternoons?

    MMM announced today that they have secured the rights to those Saturday afternoon games.

    channel 9 highlights package

    I don't really know why Nine/NRL can't start implementing something like this to meet the two hours of 'NRL on Extra' content they're contractually obliged to deliver: Monday: Sunday Football repeat Tuesday: NRL Full Time (Highlights show aired internationally)/'From the Vault' - Footy Show...

    Channel 7 to broadcast RL World Cup

    If this does happen, it will please a lot of people on this forum: SOURCE: Daily Telegraph

    2GB, ABC or Triple M, who do you listen to for your league coverage?

    The other problem with that article is that it's hard to compare 2GB and MMM since both have a different calling schedule. The only time they go head-to-head is if both called the same Friday night game into NSW or coming up with State of Origin and later with the finals series. It's unlike...

    NRL 360: 7:30pm Wednesdays

    Should be able to watch the full show through the Fox Sports NRL app providing you do have a Foxtel subscription & not just a in-app purchase for the FSN app

    NRL Radio Coverage Thread

    Think it's a good idea if a separate thread to discuss the actual radio coverage instead of continuing to use the rights thread and leaving that for rights-issue talk. Anyway, I was pleased by how good 'The Offload' on Triple M this afternoon was in that it was three hours of solid NRL...

    The NRL radio rights thread

    I haven't heard them playing songs during the coverage (NRL Primetime to the end of The Verdict), apart from snippets leading into an ad-break.

    The NRL radio rights thread

    I quite enjoyed the coverage. The team of Dan, Joey and Ryan Girdler were great to listen to while including some humor - highlight was Joey going against the 'Kick Analyzer' when someone was about to kick. There was a half-hour post-game titled 'The Verdict' like they did with MNF for the past...
