Next TV rights deal part 2

[t-ba]

News corp has lost the plot.

Araenal beat Bayern last month...

 

[elbusto]

Jesus you wouldn't want this fool running your business

 

[CC_Roosters]

Haha now that's drawing a long bow! Questioning the value of one of the biggest competitions in world sport on one game result lol.

Even by their standards this is childish. Csnt beleive he has said all of that tbh.

I know heaps of people who already going to ditch it for the epl and many mote having doubts with 4 nrl games on fta come 2018. Rip fox

 

[RL The greatest game]

News can play this down as much as they want.
The reality is that they have lost out big time on the EPL.

 

[chigurh]

Sounds like a bitter merkin.

And a dinosaur.

"You might have noticed yesterday, Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 5-1 in the Champions League which may be itself an indictment of the value of the Premier League.".

Fair dinkum, the petulance never ceases to amaze.

"You might have noticed yesterday, Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 5-1 in the Champions League which may be itself an indictment of the value of the Premier League."

Wow. Just wow.
Someone really needs to get that quote to be mad and rabid epl fans taking over the foxsports facebook page

Correct on both counts.
Another deluded fumbleball fan.

Yep 4 games on fta live and no expansion will see my fox $110 a month going to Netflix, NFL game pass and beer!

Not sure if this question has been asked but if the remaining NRL games got picked up by Optus or whoever, are they going to produce all the content themselves? Don't forget Foxtel are filming and producing their own broadcast.

 

[Cletus]

Maybe someone could let him know you can record games on the IQ and watch them in the morning. A bit of competition and foxtel will be out of business with these clowns running it.

Actually, someone mentioned earlier on here that that's not accurate. Foxtel really just do the commentary; they outsource all match day filming to another company that also do it all for Channel 9.

So in theory all optus would need to do is just make an arrangement with them.

I wonder if Sam Burgess's return to Rugby League might add a little bit extra to the TV money as interest in him and Souths on his return will attract neutral sports fans

I know f**k all but one thing is for certain is that Fox need to Pay for 1 extra game of NRL and need to pay for Simulcasting of all 9 games and finals if they want to hold onto the largest chunk of subs in the Northern States.

NRL licking lips at the possibilities...;-)

really, I figured foxsports did it all themselves. Even better for the NRL then.

 

[Last Week]

Things like NRL 360,Sterlo, Matty Johns, etc etc, are filmed and produced by Fox. Does anyone know if this counts as contra?

Also, digital rights are going to be interesting. Even more interesting the longer the negotiations get drawn out. I would seriously be tempted to sign a shorter deal of just 2 or 3 years. There is going to be a heap of bidders in the future. Optus is just the tip of it.

It's possible that the NRL could be the main content sought after when digital/mobile streaming takes over subscription television as the premier format. The transition period will be the time to cash in. I don't think that's now (docbrown would know a heap more than me), but it will be soon. Exciting times.

Yep, same happens in Perth for NRL games here, fox or nine source. Company over here to do the filming etc and they just provide commentary. Regardless of which way it is still a cost that would need to be factored in to any return for Optus.

Yeh I think it is still too early for Optus or any other online platform to bid seriously this time Around but by the time the next rights come up in 2023 then Internet streaming will be the main source of content delivery to lounge room tv's I reckon. Then gloves will really be off!

The cost for hiring said company for filming and producing the games would be more or less the same for both Fox and Optus. It's really irrelevant for it to need to be factored in too much. The NRL rights, digital or subscription, WILL be bought as a loss leader. Production costs or not. Just like Fox currently are, Optus will find other ways with their business model to make a profit to cover the cost of the rights and production.
