Billionaire-backed British streamer emerges as Foxtel suitor

DAZN has been aggressively expanding its global platform. News Corp’s cable television business could be its next target.

Good partnership if it plays out. Especially if you get Foxtel content on DAZN internationally

No real surprise there. Ch10 would be even worse.

Does show why the money isn't there for huge deals

“Foxtel’s total closing paid subscribers were over 4.6 million, which is the real metric News Corp is flagging for the benefit of shareholders and perhaps anyone interested in buying their 65% per share, maybe, possibly?”

Would mean nrl subscribers would be close to 3 million. That’s sure got to be worth a lot to stan or even Fox themselves

“Do you know which third-party is currently working on bundling all their TV assets together, Hubbl-style, and may have a huge chunk of change left over if they sell their stake in Domain for anywhere near the $1 billion it’s currently worth?”

Stan could be a serious chance for the pay tv rights which would ruin a potential Foxtel sale

That’s murodch almost totally gone from rugby league

Look at the losses for both. 4.6m subs and still losing money.

DAZN has rich pockets and good for the sports already on Fox. Depends how quick 9 sorts out their shit

What from that article told you that a bidding war to drive up the price was possible?

Given that 9 Q1 profit was down 28% YoY for FY25, I'd say they might be out.

It is amazing how people see what they want to see.

I want RL to get as much as possible but every network is struggling

Has the advertising market gone up since the last fta deal was done in 2021 ?

Not rocket science

League is in a very lucky position with Stan and Dazn owned foxsports desperate to win the rights

It hasnt. and Ive demonstrated as much withy links and everything.

Not according to the article above.

Comprehension seems to be harder than rocket science for you.

The article above laid it all out

Every article says the same. Ad revenue dropped and production costs up cancels the added subs increase

 

[Wb1234]

Bcb qhhhh

Stop projecting

As I said what happened in the past year to ad rates isn’t so relevant

But sure basic economics isn’t taught at Penrith high school

So the advertising market has gone down in the past four years and you believe the afl got close to a 50 percent increase in its rights deals

Lmao

Pick one. You can’t do both

How the f**k does the revenue drop 31% in a year on a FTA service if ad revenue has increase?

Come on I know you are the forum clown but surely you can answer this

You can. You just refuse to accept commercial reality. And know better than Seven, Nine, FreeTV and other market observers.

For instance we know that Nines revenue dropped despite improved ratings.

That the advertising market has retreated is demonstrably true. Its worth noting that the AFL deal was signed in September 2022 - coinciding with the last time there WAS a rise in the advertising market.
