The T.V Rights Thread Part III

[Mr Saab]

They will lose their home to the bank.
IF IF it all comes true, it will be interesting to see if the likes of Rabbits, Sterlo, Fatty, Fittler, Johns and co move to ch 10.

Be interested to see how they treat the Footy show if they lose the rights.

I hope Sterlo comes across in that scenario.

Some of the quotes from Zorba "I understand the tv deal is just about done at a bit over 1.2 billion."

"It looks like another commercial station, in 10, is the big player at the moment and they have the others shaking on their boots"

Jimmy Smith "they are almost resigned at 9 to losing it"

"9 don't want to give it up which is forcing the price up for everybody"

Zorba "I don't think Kerry Packer would have allowed it to happen in his day"

Packer got RL for a song Zorba. He would have been forced to pay like the rest of them this time around.

Yeah I heard that this morning.

Thing is could Nein afford to keep 'em? They apparently lost $30 Million last financial year and payed a shit load of money to get the Olympics and it now seems future Olympics are up for grabs.

i saw this on twitter https://twitter.com/sports_talker/status/234424566091493376/photo/1

not sure what paper it's from

 

[Perth Red]

I hope so, fox coverage is the best and I hope they get every game live. Well worth $20 a week.

Would like to see a decent RL show on a Tuesday night on Fox with more focus on grass roots and international RL.

Honestly wouldn't be all that surprised.

I didn't hear that on the radio but that's pretty much the crux of it - except final price is still up in the air but headed that way.

The question is will 9 go all in or will they try to outdo 7 in buddying up to 10.

 

[Noa]

Just as exquisite snippet in the paper too about 2gb losing there exclusivity.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Any idea on when an announcement can be made doc?

It all depends on what 9 do so there's no fixed date.

You gotta love this ARLC.

 

[whall15]

Can't wait for this to happen.

Go Nein, make the other channels pay more. It is all you are good for.

 

[smithie]

What is happening with the "new media" rights? Internet, mobile, etc.

I'd guess they'll get the same as the AFL - Telstra hold IPTV rights, will have an exclusive game on T-Box and the rest on Foxtel for Smart TV/Xbox 360.

I would prefer them not to hand over the IP rights to Telstra again but I'm not holding my breath as I have no idea who else would pay for them.
