Telstra are going to make 50mil+ a year from advertising rev on AFL digital content? Come on. I guarantee a huge portion of that 50mil is over quoted work on 'digitizing' marvel stadium.

then foxtel won't be reaching deeper into their pockets then
From fox point of view yes, but it’s still delivered a bigger overall deal for a decade having that set up. It’s not like fox loves the advantages nrl gives it so much that it’s thrown lots more money at us!
Well they simulcast 9 aflol games a week to our 8 & still get less $$, so we're paid more on the pure $ measure , but they don't have our STV setup tho & looks like they still won't for 25-29.
It’s been really interesting seeing the govt and club response in WA to that suggestion! Shows how ingrained the sport is in the afl states, the govt has been advocating really strongly for it staying and manyprofile people telling afl not to be greedy at expense of fans! Couldnt see that happening for nrl lol. Geez nsw govt didn’t even want to support the RLWC!
Well they’ve extended with afl for two more years so I guess they’re getting some value out of it. Nothing looks like changing in ‘25 so why would they stop the partnership?
Maybe they can throw in the lions, suns, swans and giants im sure fox would love to get their games exclusive since they cover almost 60 percent of Australia
Where? So they’re not going to be naming rights to nrl? They’re pulling out of the link ups with marvel stadium and sponsorship of afl? They’re not going to run afls digital arm and keep the digital advertising revenue? Where did they say all this? All I’ve seen is they’re aren’t going to stream full games, and that wasn’t their choice.
if you mean this one that was posted a couple of pages ago its from 2015 lol!!
Telstra backs off from big-bucks sports rights
Telstra is poised to pull back from paying big fees for digital sports broadcasting rights, a move that will come as a blow to the NRL and AFL's billion-dollar rights deals.www.afr.com
They stopped screening games for the 21 season. Then They signed a 2 year extension. They clearly still see value in the deal they have with afl, even without streaming rights.Telstra to quit NRL, AFL streaming in sports strategy shift
Some Telstra customers will no longer get access to AFL and NRL games online for free.www.smh.com.au
"Telstra will stop streaming live AFL and NRL games and offer its customers discounted access to Foxtel’s Kayo Sports in a major pivot of its media strategy.
The telco giant and pay TV company Foxtel announced on Tuesday a new agreement which will see Kayo replace live streaming on Telstra’s AFL and NRL apps. The announcement, flagged in The Sydney Morning Herald last week, means the telco is effectively withdrawing from funding sports rights directly and the ‘Live Pass’ component of some apps will cease."
So this is last year of the AFL $50m year payment ( actual contracted amount ) and it's a worry that Telstra did not get on the corona virus bandwagon regarding their contract with the AFL, anyway regardless of the website financial payments , it's going to go no way towards a $50 annual payment that they recieved in the 2017- 2022 contract , in fact all they revealed was a upgrade to Marvel, I ask you to supply the the payemnts by indivuals entities - and all have to addup to $473 million, fill in this information for the 2023 2024 contract that you claim adds up to $473 p/a.
Foxtel----------? Perth Red to infill...
Seven TV------? Perth Red to infill
Telstra---------? Perth Red to infill
Total----------$473 million p/a for the each years 2023 and 2024.
well we had named sources telling us how valuable a second Brisbane club would be to Ch9 for years, around $20mill a year wasnt it? Guess what, it wasnt lol.
In many ways they'd be better accepting somewhere around $450mill and not changing things up too much. What they have now is working very well for them. AFL clubs get massive revenue from memberships and attendance, you wouldn't want to be putting that at too much risk by having sht NRL style KO times and less exposure in key markets. Sometimes a bird in the hand and all that.
Pay TV deal will go down, if ( and they, Seven Tv are demanding it ) they don't get digital rights to show their game on free Seven Plus. As opposed to the NRL , AFL states are small ( NSW by itself is bigger than WA, SA, TAS and NT put together ) thus games are in Sydney are different to games on free TV in Perth. Foxtel will as being upself with treatment in games in WA and SA all being on free to air will be horrifed by persons being to log onto 7 Plus and watching games in SA or WA or Brisbane or Sydney. Foxtel would have to rely on Seven Network making games unavailable in multiply States interstate.. So Seven said this is break deal commitment ( digal games).......And thats not saying anything about Super Saturday NRL style, that Foxtel wants despartly. So if Foxtel get super Saturaday, all digital content as of NOW and a better coverage in WA SA, they will pay big bucks--- But Seven won't. In fact thier are three deal breakers that can't be satisfied
