Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

NRL broadcast rights are hardly going to qualify as a national emergency

Anyone told Albo?

PNG has two tv broadcasters. EMTV is the only commercial broadcaster - owned by Telekom since 2015 - and they generated 6 million in revenue in 2014. The only other TV broadcaster is the state owned NBC so maybe they'll pony up. Either way I wouldnt expect big dollars.

Serious reply to the above post is that its absolutely right. There is no money in PNG.

hence the 600m Gov deal was necessary for this to get over the line

hence the 600m Gov deal was necessary for this to get over the line

Hence also the satirical ABC proposition.

Far from axiomatic that getting PNG over the line is in the interests of NRL or Australian taxpayers.

Devices are where it's at these days. Who knows what telco might sign for exclusive rights. A whole nation with phones wanting to watch the footy.

What does News Corp seeking to sell of its Foxtel stake mean for TV rights?

What does News Corp seeking to sell of its Foxtel stake mean for TV rights?

In my mind, there are three outcomes. One - it positively impacts the NRL, Two, it negatively impacts the NRL, or Three, it has a neutral impact on the NRL.

A bit of an in depth article into the whys and how's from News, and it's effect on all the other players, from the US and Australia.

An important Foxtel announcement...

News Corp's plans to sell Foxtel are surprising in that streaming assets Kayo, Binge and Hubbl look likely to go with it. This and recent events in the US show the bind that legacy TV businesses find themselves in.

The independent commission boss wants a meeting with US businessman Larry Ellison, the new Channel 10 owner, who is worth $265 billion.

Hopefully its just Buzz reporting it wrong - but Larry Ellison isnt the guy in charge of Skydance. Its CEO and founder is David, his son.

Can anyone in Australia turn on a TV and get NRL?

If the answer is no then TV rights shouldn't be discussed.... sorry ch10 get your shit together then come and chat

Why the NRL wants Paramount to enter bidding war for rights

ARL boss Peter V’landys has embarked on an ambitious attempt to get Paramount interested in bidding for the next round of NRL rights.

Again money is secondary for me.

Storm played on Saturday afternoon IF ch10 had the rights certain parts of Victoria wouldn't be able to see the game on FTA.

WA are coming in. A similar problem exists in WA with no ch10 regional service. The code will quickly go backwards if people can't watch it

Meanwhile in NZ, this article from The Spinoff looks at the recent trend of sports moving out of Sky's paywall and onto FTA TV.

The NRL needs to consider this trend, and IMO ensure FTA requirements are hard-coded into the next arrangement - or else we could be left behind - and left to the whims of Sky.

Free-to-air sports are suddenly back. Why – and what does it mean for NZ Rugby?

The Breakers are just the latest team to find a free-to-air home. What’s driving the reversal of a 30-year trend?

But is that a requirement stipulated by the NRL, or just Sky being generous?
