2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

[Perth Red]

How much did the costs go up? How much was the ad revenue going to be cut back?

We don tknow anymore as the figures are all hidden away. Be interesting to see if they hide away the website hit rate after this year now as well.

 

[Perth Red]

Yep still going. Still has articles the General public can view for free

Just cut back some waste

Cut away the 8 journalists who were generating interesting content that was driving traffic to NRL.com.
Why do you think the media companies were so unhappy about it?
Why do you think they wanted it shut down?
why do you think Grant convinced the commission to invest $100million in it?
Hmmmm I wonder.

This month they are released. I look forward to you making up some excuse as to why they are worse then reality.
Why would they? They use that to sell to sponsors

 

[baselinepanther]

nope I included 2017 when their tv deal began and they made a $61mill surplus. Hence why they have the cash reserves to cover their losses.

i see ...
so they only made 53 million in profits in 18-19 while the NRL made 76 million in those same years
good to know

 

[baselinepanther]

From 3 mill to 24mill in just a few years, if they arent making a profit on that sort of revenue growth then someones not doing their job properly! Stop kidding yourself it was closed down due to profitability, it was due to News Ltd and Nine demanding it as has been mentioned in numerous articles.

proof of profits ?
i think you'll find thats just revenue , not profits & you don't know if they were doing their job or not , might of been the cause of the down scaling
Vlandys saw the numbers , it was an easy decision

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

He's ignoring where I caught him out lying

Now we have cut back, Ours is now probably similar to the AFL's. I dont recall them ever publishing there hit rate.

And on the issue of borrowings what happened about the $2 or 3 hundred k the AFL borrowed for Marvel Stadium. More debt I suppose

What programs on NRL.com even come close to what Ch9 or Fox produce?

Grant has been long gone. Many things have changed since then.

Didn't your Mother teach you to not talk to crazy people? PR is certifiable

I am bored at work. Feeding the Trolls is a good way to pass time

 

[AdelaideSharky]

You're full of it .
The AFL slashed expenditure just like the NRL did .
Yet you won't admit that .
Pathetic Afl troll .

That probably explains why the muppet wants to toss half the Sydney clubs out of the competition as he knows a vast majority of those fans will go to the AFL.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

so
summary position 2018-2021 for both codes
AFL 11 million profit ( 76 million profit 18-19 , 65 million loss 20-21)
NRL 102 million profit ( 76 million profit 18-19 , 26 million profit 20-21)

NRL
killing it

Yeah, it kind of makes higher revenue irrelevant if you can't post higher profits

 

[Perth Red]

not really, the NRL and AFL are not profit making companies, you'd like to make some surplus to be able to invest in asset acquisition and saving for a rainy day but most of the revenue raised should be spent on delivering the codes strategic plan. More revenue means you can spend more on things like development, grassroots, club sustainability, media profile, community reach etc etc.

 

[Perth Red]

For the record, despite excluding it from the annual report, the full financials showed amount of contra in the 2021 tv deals was $24.5million. Up from $15.4million in 2020 And same amount as pre covid in 2019.

Once the surplus reaches a certain level doest the extra go back to the clubs and various state bodies as an extra bonus?

I fail to see to much downside when when revenue made outstrips costs incurred by over $40 million.

There is obviously an agreement with clubs for some of the surplus to go back to them as we have seen from the announcements this month. There’s no downside to making a surplus as long as you’re not neglecting the areas you need to be spending on to keep the sport growing and tne revenue flowing,
