Fox League and cross-promotion

Okay, this is beginning to get really obnoxious. The channel is called Fox LEAGUE, and the merkins are falling over themselves to talk about anything that isn't Rugby League, namely boxing and dog/horse racing. I'm sure the orders come from higher up the food chain to sell pay per views and scratch the bookies backs.......And frankly people aren't getting pissed off enough about it.

I throw 25 bucks Kayo's way every month to watch FOOTBALL coverage, not to be told which Greyhound is looking the best odds on to win the Bumf**k Plate in bumf**k nowhere.

Noticed watching last nights Storm game they are also starting to sneak ads in during the game by putting them in bottom corner during play. news ltd, nsw racing, nrl, they’re all in the gambling den together.

The thing about dog racing or horse racing is that if you're into dog or horse racing you know when and where the races are on and where to see it. I have doubts that a person watching league all of a sudden decides they'll get into racing by seeing an advert.

Same with boxing or any other acquired taste sports really, if you're into it you know about it and have probably got the pay per view sorted.

Fox league channel had so much potential instead it's turned into a news Ltd jerk off.

Instead of showing re-runs of matty johns shows, NRL360 everyweek at 8pm why not show some classic club matches I would love to see some replays from games in the 80s, 90s even the early 2000s games that we haven't seen in ages.

Theres a ton of old and new rl content we could be watching instead of these sht shows. Womens state championships on at moment for example, why not a highlights show every night?

I think there was an old games rights shake up back in 2020. It’s why the DVDs of past games and best of type things have all but disappeared and Fox don’t reshow old games as much.

This annoys be about nine they do this all the time

the constant references to the komboussis fight were what I saw a lot of on fox they aren’t too bad

everyone used rugby league shows to cross promote because their ratings are so high

Nothing says Vlandys ball like betting, and nothing says betting like racing and boxing, kerching.

Yep and people still think he does whats good for the game. Its getting to the stage where the NRL only exists as a tool to promote and sell news corp interests.

He’s the ceo of nsw racing, that’s his number one priority, it’s no coincidence that nsw rac8ng and news corp are in Avery incestuous relationship, using the nrl as another vehicle to strengthen that relationship benefits nsw racing.
Or maybe he accepted $100mill less from news ltd because the nrl is so benevolent lol.

I’m pretty sure the channel is foxy boxing and greyhounds. If anything we are lucky they sprinkle a bit of league in for us.

NSW Racing’s most incestuous relationship is with Tabcorp. Tabcorp has business relationships with News in terms of coverage etc, but on the whole, NSW Racing looks after Tabcorp first and everyone else second.
