No, Thats documented data and fact as shown in Newscorps earnings release. What you wrote was unsubtantiated opinion - like youve done below



And thats Opinion. With no basis in actual facts.

Thanks for your opinion

I’ve given it the consideration it deserves

'ESPN, which has been in Australia for 30 years, will remain on Foxtel and Kayo, as well as Telstra’s Fetch TV, after its launch on Disney+.'

Disney via ESPN would charge fox for access to their content. With NRL presumably they can charge more if they want to continue that arrangement or on sell some games. Who knows, im not in that field but more competitive tension is better for NRL

Why NRL wants to bring TV production in-house ahead of next rights deal

The rise of streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime could result in a huge change to the way rugby league is broadcast.

It is the way to split up rights too

Maybe get Dave Smith to negotiate a $1B deal only for Ch 9 to on-sell the rights.
Just a thought.

How many FTA broadcasts for NRL and AFL in their respective 2025 regular seasons?

If "the Saturday thing" means fewer for AFL than in previous years, the combined FTA/PTV aggregates should be a fairer measure of relative popularity.

Isn't wb currently hoping various subscription services bid for different parts? I'm not sure how many of them are free. So he seems to think locking things behind a pay wall is fine, right up until he needs to make an argument against it.

Nah it was announced as only for a small part of the season

Other parts of the tv deal the afl didn’t disclose

1. One extra round season “gather round”
2. Tasmanian afl team

At least the nrl is open about the extra content added to get a bigger tv deal

there is no material change in the number of FTA broadcasts for the AFL. Thursday nights replace Saturdays, there are more Sunday broadcasts. Previously where there was a Thursday night, there was no Sunday afternoon. People arcing up over this are stupid.

So the adjustment hits AFL aggregates only if Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons are less popular with FTA viewers than Saturdays?

Correspondingly, Fox will only gain if AFL fans are prepared to pony up for Saturday games.

"People arcing up" when asked to pay for a service that was previously free is not uncommon. The history of the UK NHS is distinguished by similarly indignant responses.

The other income stream for Fox/Dazn from buying sports rights, is the Clubs/Pubs subscribing. Not sure if still the case but they used to charge based off the number of pokie machines
