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.

Nice work. I taught you well

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?

 

[Generalzod]

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…

If I must I say FTA
1 games Nine- Normal Friday night (late)
1 games ten- Early Friday ( i like this time- i cant wait for the late Nine game- i want it now)

1 game Ten Sunday 2pm for after game finish into their 'eye witness news'.
1game Nine Sunday 4pm with a finishing into their 6pm news

Now both Nine and Ten can show on their Pay Tv platforms each other FTA games * must be on stan/paramount.
Notice their is a increase of FTA games by one against 3 which we have now.
Notice now the 3 FTA games are shown over 3 night, Thur,Friday, and Sunday. Under the new proposed (above) the games increase BUT the days/night decrease by one ie only FTA Fri, Sunday.

For FTA their is 4 big exclusive high rating events, 3 state of origin and the Grand final- for example you could split it up as follows Grand final and game 3 SOO to one FTA, while the other FTA gets the game 1 and 2 SOS, big rating their. Each year they change or stay the same , whatever they please.

Foxtel
Well before PNG enters Foxtel will be down a game , ie they will have 4 games exclusive ( and simulcast the other 4 games) They only had 5 games exclusive, but with the reduction of one day for FTA ( Fri/Sun)... No Thursday for FTA what they miss out their they gather/gain in days exclusive. This can be applied to having a Monday night football which gives Foxtel/kayo Thur, Sat and Monday as exclusive games and on it's own date/day.
So maybe $115m From Nine
Ten pays the same $115 for a total of $230.

With enhanced action before the start of season in Los Vegas, early Feb hold a Nines tournament in the Uk < Australia/NZ and USA, Las Vegas. This 9nines tournament played in three locations ( so we send 3/4 NRl teams to the UK and they do the same sent ie 3/4 teams to Australia/NZ with the winner of each Such tournament getting 2 competition points in their respective countries and some $$$'s also for the
They have to get a international format game for Mid Oct/Nov which taking a xx from above could have Australia , Australia A ( which goes to UK while England A comes to Australia. So games in Australia /UK keeping a table of points over both ... So a fromat that has all the teams NZ Aust,Eng PNG fiji in both counties. Top 2 play off of the combined games teams, I only labored this point as this would be the cherry on top for FOXTAL as subscribers will now keep their subscription fro Feb/ to late Nov and the extra revenue ( i get SMS from KAyo one dollar a month for one month to come back to KAyo now, and gawd listing the blathers on Seven Cricket i would have but for some technicality-WTF)
Anyway A long way to say we ahve to enhance out package to Foxtel/kayo and then we could get $350m pa from Foxtel with a for a Grand Total including new FTA contracts total of $580m pa. It corral's all the big media our way for promo and advertising and keeps KAyoFoxrel in the Tent as well.
How to get hem to take up this new deal??What inducements or compensation ( short termed) to get all parties on board? Any Ideas,
Foxtel great coverage from Fen to Nov, more exclusive nights/days and a soon to be introduced team to get back to 5 live and exclusive.
Ten - well your got nothing Jump on board for $115m
Nine - compensation of say $20m pa up to year 2028.
All on board for the 2026/2017 season , $580mpa or $560m pa with a nine discount, Deal over ten years equals
$ 5 billion and 800 hundred million dollars over the course of the contract OR $5.8 billion
