Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Canard]

Wow, a TV station, in this case Channel 10, might bid for the NRL rights (which consistently generates high ratings) depending on their interest and if it fits into their strategy. Who would have thought that.

In other breaking news from AI, if there are multiple bidders for the NRL broadcast rights, it might push the price up.

A politician would be proud of AI's non-answer there.

It couldn't even get the history of Channel 10 correct. They have a long tradition of broadcasting the game, and did it for many years before 9 bought the rights.

Yes will have to hold off until deals and new CEO are appointed.

Former Foxtel executive Amanda Laing will take the reins of Nine’s combined Streaming & Broadcasting division, overseeing the group’s combined radio, television, and 9Now and Stan streaming operations. Ms Laing left Foxtel, part-owned by News Corp (publisher of The Australian), in October 2024.

Mr Stanton told staff that Ms Laing would be charged with “leveraging the world-class content the team creates and maximising its value across Streaming & Broadcast” in a move which also eliminates the Stan CEO position, once held by former Nine boss Mike Sneesby.

From The Australian last week.

Add that to no Stan Boss atm and NRL needs to hold off, You are right it seemed like it was well timed to go into the footy pre season for either code

Stan has been merged in with the FTA broadcasting (organisationally) at Nine.

Nine has appointed former Foxtel executive Amanda Laing to lead a converged streaming and broadcast division resulting in the departure of Stan’s Martin Kugeler.

Yes have

Yes will have to hold off until deals and new CEO are appointed.... When the foxtel deal is complete , that would be the ideal time to hold the negotiations- the old mangement ( Patrick Delaney) is he new management, and they would be in such a shitter if they lost the rights, in DANZ owners eyes. So it would not be unreasonable for Foxtel/kayo pay overs. Combine this with a possible two FTA deals ie Ten and Nine one could break new ground in media money landscape... by the way in FEB 2025 annual financial reports are out for the 2024 season, lets see.

What new ceo

Patrick Delaney is remaining

Talks about the new tv deal will continue as normal with Dazn obviously in the background monitoring things

Pretty sure she was on the arlc for a bit before standing down

Good to have her there with Stan set to bid for the nrl rights

 

[SirPies&Beers]

any guesses who wins the tv rights and how it might end up being packaged?

Why would going for the Christmas games, which had massive viewership already, indicate anything for a minor sport that 90%+ of the world has never heard of?

It’s about growing the game Maximus…
