Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Pippen94]

They only want global sports won’t bid for league or afl

Let's see. Linking with superleague & also las Vegas fixture

Netflix would have huge audience

The risk is only 1/4 of Australia has Netflix. Not sure the big events should move for that reason.

Doing what the NBA did and selling Sat and Sunday packages seperate would be the way to go

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Kayo to get the streaming rights for origin will be huge

No it won't.

Foxtel has refused to put the Kayo app on Fetch for years.

Yes but for that to work NRL needs to handle production, Fox won't produce it for others to benefit. That is another TV deal away

Does NBA handle of it's games?!

 

[Éamonn an Chnoic]

I'm not doubting you. It's more I doubt the competence of those running FTA TV networks to adapt to changing times, because to date, they have shown they haven't. In fact they show their resistance to it.

Genuinely, one of the dumbest speeches I have ever seen came from a C7 exec back in about 2012.

When asked about people pirating US shows and whether C7 would fast-track then to Aus, he said some tough-guy rubbish like “we do not negotiate with pirates”.

So he ignores reality and pretends that the morally correct thing is to continue the exploit the FTAs dying oligopoly and screw audiences for as long as possible. What a hero….

Eh, just pay a production company. It would be a similar cost to having Fox do it.

And the commentators and so on?

The teams do yes. I follow the Knicks and Mike Breen is their caller on MSG and does ESPN on the days they show the games.

Similar have would require Netflix to hire their own staff for their NRL games.

It works if NRL directly has the pictures and staff. They can have a director do all multiple days and commentators like Fox does

Can't they just stick it on 9now for a couple of weeks?

I'm looking forward to Nines NRL coverage over the Olympic period.

Not having to listen to Mat the screamer Thompson for 2 weeks is going to be glorious.

What event is he screaming on at the Olympics ? Don’t tell me it’s the Swimming?

Yep, the swimming.

bad news …. I hate that bloke …

 

[Chins get the wins]

Streaming isn't live so it's not feasible really

 

[Perth Red]

Given the value of origin has been put at $30mill plus, it means ch9 is only paying $85mill cash a year for 3 simu cast games a week plus finals and exclusive GF. Even with falling advertising you’d have to think nrland origin split is worth more than that?
