[Perth Red]

Foxtel haven't provided a metro breakdown since 2017.

So you dont know lol

We don’t need to change the structure of the game, we just need to be much much better at selling it.

Yes

 

[taste2taste]

Yes

so would quarters

they were thinking of 4 x 25 minute quarters which would’ve meant a huge increase in the tv deal

I think they are keeping that in their back pocket and trying. To get massive tv deals whilst not changing the game too much

Currently 9 do the occasional picture in picture commercial as players are walking to a scrum or a player is linning up a penalty goal, if it adds a large amount of $$ to the next deal i'd have no issues if they took this a step further and had picture in picture commercials as teams are hitting the ball up around the 20m to half way line, or waiting for goal line drop outs...etc

 

[taste2taste]

Yes

Did Perth and Wb just agree ? This is a momentus occasion !

There lies the problem and why the NRL v AFL comparison doesn't work. RL is best sped up and as such has very few places for ads

Interesting development today. Netflix just bought WWE Raw rights for 10yrs/5 billion USD. They had dabbled in some live sport but this is their first big leap into it. Amazon was apparently interested as well. Shows the traditional streaming giants are now looking at sports seriously.

And yes, I know it's play fighting but networks class it as a live sport.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

So you dont know lol

We know the PTV audience for NRL in Perth was 5k in 2017. You would have to be a raving lunatic to think the number has changed substantially since then.

Do they produce it as Sports?

They can double up with script writers they have their books to cut costs

And that's why the NRL will never ever have a TV deal comparable with the AFL.

They have 30 second commercials after each goal ( roughly 22 a game ) and 4 minutes between quarters. In comparison the NRL can squeeze in a 15 second commercial after a conversion.

This what I have been telling that knob end PR,

Throw in the longer games.

The new deal that NRL gets marked against

Contains 9 extra rounds
Stadium upgrade
Internet rights
9 years worth of inflation...

Still it is compared to. How can NRL improve on the $10m a round it roughly gets is the question.

I have been on that NRLW should be stand alone, heat is the main issue with moving that

Nine do a lot of dumb stuff like interviewing the players at half time and the origin coaches during the game

same with in game ads

it’s not like they pay big dollars anyway for origin plus nrl

That should part of the coverage anyway.

Need to get better use of the NRLW to add real content, that is one thing we can steal from the AFL

They might have to play the game in quarters to squeeze in more commercials. Five minute break at quarter time and three quarter time. 15 minutes at half time. If they do go down that route then the amount of interchanges should be reduced.

Put it this way, if you were a bean counter at one of the FTA networks, which product would you pay more for ?

A) 19 minutes of in game commercials
B) 2 minutes of in game commercials

It's a pretty easy decision.

WWE have their own production crew. So they're selling a pre baked product. I've thought for a while the game should be producing its own content and on selling it. Maybe it's not profitable in our small market?

That is how I thought it went, There lies why they went for it. Amazon is the same I am watching the cricket now and it is a central feed.

That would be it, Pre-covid Fox were paying $100k to produce 1 game. They call from a studio now so would be cheaper but still. They can get producers doing shows through the week. Camera guys on different sports it spreads the cost out.

Not sure you'd get $400m plus costs back, particularly for the games 9/Fox do together

19 mins of ads in 120min game, So you have the viewer for longer too
