Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Wb1234]

Yes the way I’d see it is to set up horizon goals:

2025- 2030
- focus being on establishing nrl pacific (already underway)
- start to lay foundations for nrl Europe and Americas (already underway)
- establish a strong media deal for nrl pacific

2030-2035
- shift focus to nrl Europe. Grow teams, revenue, events
- begin nrl Americas competition as amateurs / semi professional
- establish a media deal that covers nrl pacific and nrl Europe

2035-2040
- shift focus to nrl Americas
- accelerate growth in us market via partners and sponsors
- establish a major media deal that covers all 3 conferences

Need a good 20 years to really take over in nz

Tonga Samoa Fiji probably already there or will be

Pommies will sort out their own league by then anyway

If Vegas is still being held in ten years time that would be amazing

Worried it tapers off and any gains in America evaporate

If it sells out each year with a lot of Americans then yeh league would have a platform to do something minor in the states

Wildcard would be nrl team 24 based in Hawaii

Nrl really doesn’t make enough money to do much in America or England / Europe and won’t for decades

Radio isn’t media now lmao

Anyway, I’m talking about the next tv deal

So when I say it will beat afl im talking about what fox / stan, nine / seven and sky nz / dazn pay in total

It will smash the afl number

Excluding radio and Telstra

Here’s the link again

Kayo’s Super Saturday footy is about to get more expensive

Less than two months into its ownership by British streamer DAZN, Foxtel is raising the entry-level price of Kayo.

www.smh.com.au

“This is the first year of the blockbuster $4.5 billion contract signed by the AFL, Foxtel and Seven in 2022. The contract will run until 2031; Foxtel pays about $418 million a year to the AFL as part of the deal.”

Unfortunately as neither code release pure tv deal only figures we will never know for sure, unless NRL achieves over $550mill cash avg then we can be reasonably confident its higher than AFL's cash tv component.

 

[Perth Red]

I know it doesn’t suit your pro afl agenda but the smh reported fox paying afl 418 million. Seven is around 170 million

Afl has no other tv revenue

So its basic maths

Even though they tried to hide the real figure it was going to come out eventually

Only way that works is if that is cash and contra.
We wont get a real picture of their new deal until the 2025 annual report next year.

I posted the lin

Yeh afl 550 million cash is what I think it is too

Will beat that imo

 

[Wb1234]

I think the new tv deal will see 200 million more in cash pa. Plus over the next tv deal non broadcast revenue will rise probably another 100 million

This should see the salary cap sitting at 17.5 million (could be higher if clubs don’t gouge a lot)

Clubs grant will be 27.5 million (ten million over the cap)

Nrl will keep the remaining 83 million for asset accumulation / juniors / qrl / nswrl

News from NZ - Sky are buying Discovery NZ from it's American parent company Discovery Warner Bros.

Sky TV to buy Three owner Discovery NZ for $1

Discovery NZ is a part of US media giant Warner Bros Discovery.

www.rnz.co.nz

So Sky get the following freeview (free to air digital terrestrial UHF & Satellite) channels - Three (formerly TV3, general entertainment), Bravo (reality TV shows), Eden (female-focused TV), Rush (male-focused TV), and the ThreeNow digital streaming platform.

Sky already has their own Freeview channel (Sky Open), but I imagine some reorganizing of it's new set of channels may happen.

Interesting times here.

Will the cap jump from 12m to 17 m or will it gradually increase to 17m over the term of the new TV deal ?

17m is bloody high, thats higher than the Top 14 which currently has the worlds highest paid players.

Yeah, media here is going through really REALLY tough times & Discovery/Warner Bros were extremely motivated to get out.

They bought the TV operations of Mediaworks (TV3 etc) for $23.5 million in late 2020, so just 5 years for it to go from a bargain they snapped up, to toxic junk (in their eyes).

Year one one big jump then 250k a year after

French has very low tax rates so still not really competitive (think their tax rate is 8 to 20 percent depending on which article you read v 50 percent here). Plus lifestyle advantages of the south of France v non beach Sydney lol

If the clubs don’t want an extra 5 million each which they don’t need cap could be 22 million

Rlpa said they want 43 percent of revenues so if revenue hits 1 billion pa it’s 430 million or around 22 million per club
