    The Las Vegas Thread

    Well with zero recognition do you think most of us will know if youre sending us a premier matchup vs an also rans matchup? Someone joked that US fans might thing its the All Blacks, thats not too far fetched to think. As someone who is familiar with those teams, will I be watching them at 700...

    I thought in situation like this you place a bet to access it? So non-gamblers would still subscribe if thats true?

    The Las Vegas Thread

    If you mean 500k per match, think that might be a little too much considering the time difference. But I think one thing NRL could do is go all in on the matches that are shown at 1200 am on the east coast. Market it as "Late Night with NRL" or something like that. Have a broadcast team...

    You call me a loud mouth yank while confidently saying you know more because you worked in the media field for a long time in the US, while getting basics about the US sports media wrong. You tell me theres no way theyll adjust the tv times because it doesnt work in Australia and now youre...

    And thats why I think the NRL will never be anything but late night filler for a cabletv channel. If the NRL for two games isnt willing to adjust, then whats the point? Thats cute that just because Vlandy discussed that with murdoch you that means its going to happen. Generic spin psyching up...

    I paid 163, last year for watch NRL I paid 182 (and I think it went up). On the surface someone could argue 20 more dollars is more than worth it for the NRL, but for me the real value is Super League kick offs are 300 pm on thursday and fridays, and 1000 and 1230 on saturdays.

    Ha, when I orginally typed it I only had NRL. I realized if I dont add AFL someone would respond with AFL

    The Las Vegas Thread

    Due to the amount of games played, many fans of the NBA, NHL, and MLB only watch their team. I don't watch the NBA, but I know for whatever reason ESPN can not get its coverage right, constant turnover and retooling, NBA fans prefer watching TNT for their national games. Also, I dont believe...

    Think thats actually a good idea. When I lived on the West Coast I could some games lives, think it was the first two on saturday and the first on sunday. Now that Im on the east coast, watchNRL isnt worth the money due to the time, but super league plus is.

    I dont think its bad for the reasons you stated, but I do think its a bit of a disappointment. Think may were hoping at least a 100k for the firm game. I saw on twitter someone defending these numbers by reminding everyone this is what the AFL typically gets on FS1. The way I interpret that is...

    If NRL isnt going to make the games taking place in the US at an ideal time for the majority of the US population then it shouldnt be a shock that I think growing the game isnt their priority. I kind of understand, NRL is the top rated program in australia I beleive, while having poor attendance...

    "We had a 61,000 average viewership on Fox Sports 1 for the first game, which was more than one-third of the marquee college basketball clash between Xavier and Georgetown which preceded our games." I have to laugh at that quote, some good spinning. When describing a medicore Xavier playing...

    Youre speaking to someone who is from there, but my all means you lived here for a few years... I don't think you fully appreciate how big broadcast TV is here. On that Saturday, Michigan St played Purdue in college basketball on Fox at 8pm EST. Now mind you college basketball regular season is...

    Theres just no way youre getting the NRL on broadcast tv at primetime, even more so with the numbers it got this year. Thats a non starter. Its staying on FS1. If the goal of NRL really is to expand rugby league to the US via playing games there (which I dont think it is) they should to do...

    I watch a decent amount of college basketball on FS1 and I dont recall seeing any promos for the games. I only remembered they were going to be on by reading a thread at totalrl.

    The Las Vegas Thread

    For perspective, Gonzaga v St Marys at 10 pm EST, a rivalry game with big implications for both teams, drew around a million viewers on ESPN. Big game but regular season college basketball isnt must see tv for many. Also FS1 is in the backwaters of cable tv. ESPN and ESPN2 are on channels 12...

    Thursday AND Monday Night Footy

    You may not be saying one live match per week, but you responded positively to a post about all games kicking off at the same time, saying Fox or any other paid TV wouldn't care. I think they would vary much care about having, bc if they didnt, why isn't Fox currently overlapping their exclusive...

    Thursday AND Monday Night Footy

    But thats just your preference. The current schedule allows for a broad range of view perference from watching 1 match to watching all 8 live and anything in between. The far extreme of that is to air all matches at the same time, which I imagine would reduce the amount of subscribers willing to...
