Next TV rights deal part 2

[BlueandGold]

People have such short memories. The swans had over 20 years of poor gate takings, around 6k was very common. But then when they started to win on the field consistantly their figures grow accordingly to the point that they are the most successful football franchise in Sydney.

The AFL may or may not be shocked at the relative poor showing for teams like the Giants, but ultimately they are fighting in the epicentre of RL's heartland. Nothing but maintained success on the field and a few lean years by teams like Parra, Tigers and Penrith will see this change.

But it will change, just like it did for the Swans. Also the way the NRL runs the game, they will give the AFL ample oportunity, to capitalize on their self inflicted cockups.

So no mention of the Super league wars which helped build that club......very convenient for you to use this angle just to suite your argument.

Lets just face it, your expand at any cost mind set is stupid.;-)

NRL isn't $1.8billion lol, stop believing the spin. It's 625+920+150. Which in no way explains why the most popular sport on to in Australia is getting significantly less money than its rival. When you factor in SOO, popularity, what we sacrificed on Ko times, lack of expansion, reduced fta coverage and take out naming rights it simply is not a great deal. Yes it's a lot of money but in comparison to our rival it is sht.

Have you been a sleep for the last few days.

NRL.com announced 1.8billion with international and NZ rights to come.

Stop making up stuff because there was no mention of a perth team in the new deal.

Your constant NRL bashing because there is no mention of a Perth team is boring most of us to death.

You really are a simpleton, naming rights are worth at most 10m pa.

Nine 625m + News/Telstra 1.175bn (incl. $50m naming rights) = $1.8bn

Digital rights will probably play a much bigger part in the NZ deal than before,

With NRL TV deal signed, sealed and delivered the next battle is the division of the spoils
Roy Masters SMH

This five-year deal is free of all the machinations of the past and despite Rupert Murdoch's preference for AFL, there is confidence the game can grow unhampered by the shackles of past enmities.


Fox believes it now has a far greater deal, because of double headers on Friday and Sunday, a free-programming Saturday game and all eight games live, free of ads and in high definition.
Furthermore, because there will be changes to the final two years of the existing contract, the five-year deal is in fact a seven-year deal, allowing clubs to be free of the unpopular Monday night matches from 2017 and clubs such as the New Zealand Warriors and the Melbourne Storm receiving Friday night exposure.


In terms of the comparison with the AFL, the rugby league deal is superior on the only measure that counts - percentage increases on the previous deals.
The old AFL deal was $1.25 billion over five years and the new deal beginning next year is $2.5 billion over six years.
Putting the AFL deal back to a five-year one, in order to make a comparison with the NRL deal, means it is an 80 per cent increase.
The current NRL deal is $1.025 billion over five years, meaning that any figure above $2.05 billion is a 100 per cent increase. Friday's announcement was for a $1.8 billion deal, but with some international rights still to be finalised, Grant said he expected a final total of $1.9 billion. Don't be surprised, however, if that figure tops $2 billion.


Even those closely associated with the Super League war, such as former chief executive John Ribot, hailed the new dawn in the game.
Ribot said: "Well done to all parties. This is a great result for the game we love."

Five key questions about the NRL broadcast deal
Brad Walter SMH

1. Is this a good deal for the NRL?
The NRL has negotiated a 70 per cent increase on the current $1.025 billion deal, which was negotiated four years ago, and will earn more than $1.8 billion as the New Zealand and international TV rights are still to be negotiated, along with radio rights. ARL chairman John Grant estimated the total value of the deal would exceed $1.9 billion and could even reach $2 billion.
2. How does it compare with the AFL deal?
The AFL deal is worth $2.508 billion over six years, which equates to $418 million per year, whereas the NRL's five-year deal – if it totalled $2 billion – would be worth $400 million per year. However, the AFL has 18 teams who play 198 regular season games compared to the 192 games the 16 NRL clubs play. AFL games are also played over 100 minutes, whereas an NRL match is 80 minutes.
3. Why have News Corp paid so much?
Optus's purchase of the English Premier League rights suddenly raised the real possibility that the telco or another rival, such as BeIN Sports, could secure the NRL pay-TV rights ahead of News. Such an outcome would have been a disaster for Fox Sports as the NRL is the main subscription driver for Foxtel. With Nine prepared to sell back 21 Saturday night matches, Fox Sports will retain the Super Saturday franchise and simulcast rights mean it will now broadcast every NRL game.
4. Does Dave Smith deserve any credit for the deal?
The decision to separate the free-to-air and pay-TV rights negotiations created competitive tension between the parties and while Rupert Murdoch may have been fuming at the deal with Nine, News ultimately paid more for the AFL and NRL rights than the company probably would have.
5. What will change under the new deal?
There will be NRL matches five days per week in 2016, with Nine to broadcast 18 Thursday night matches and one game on Friday nights, as well as Sunday afternoon. From 2017, Monday Night Football will be replaced by a 6pm Friday game on Fox Sports, which will also introduce a dedicated NRL channel. Nine will broadcast a Saturday night game for the last five rounds of each season.

:lol::lol:

yeah lets believe an idiot like you instead :lol:

News Corp is understood to be paying about $920 million for the Fox Sports rights over five years, from 2018 onwards, Telstra about $200 million for digital rights and Nine Entertainment Co about $625 million. Each of the three companies will share various digital rights on a non-exclusive basis.

Everyone conveniently leaves out the $50million plus value of the naming rights in the Telstra deal.

Roy Masters is seriously clutching at straws with that article.

Afl's naming rights were worth $10mill pa back in 2004! Lol moron.


Toyota became the AFL?s main premier partner in 2004, taking over from Carlton and United Breweries. At the time, the deal was described as ?the largest sponsorship for any sport in this country?, and was thought to be worth around US$9 million annually. The partnership was later renewed in 2011.

not really the point dickhead
you said we didn't get 1.8 billion

as per usual
you're wrong

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

6pm Friday shouldn't of been approved by the ARLC, if they wanted to improve crowds having Thursday/6pm Friday isn't going to help. It's annoying how rugby league is so subservient to the media. Other codes don't let the media run all over them like the NRL let them on a regular basis.

I'm glad that you are happy we got $250mill less than the afl. Mediocrity rules supreme in RL.

Wit naming rights value is $1.745billion. Take out the value of naming rights and your down to australian tv's and digital rights being $1.695bill.

Glad your happy with this compared to the $2billion afl deal plus at least $50mill naming rights value. But they've got A ninth game lol.

That's just $'s, chuck in the less fta than promised, sht game times and no expansion and it's a lame duck. Only the significant overall increase in money compared to previous deals saves it from being a debacle. No wonder Smith walked, he probably saw this coming and didn't want anything to do with it.
