The T.V Rights Thread Part III

[Roy80]

These reported figures (if true), do they include NZ rights aswell? or will that be on top?

 

[Billythekid]

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

The news keeps on getting better. I think the next few years are going to see RL really going forward.

I really hope so. I wouldnt like to see another false dawn.

 

[Crippler]

yeh i hope Channel 9 lose the rights. NRL needs a fresh new start. No more Warren, nrl footy show. Only from from Nine who deserves a contract at ch7/10 would be sterlo and vossy

 

[seanoff]

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.

For simulcast games you'll get the coverage that is provided by whichever FTA channel is covering the game.

Fox will not put in a second commentary team.


and lets be frank no one gives a shit about grass roots and international RL why waste a show on that.

i'd say no

so expect another 100 Mill or so from Sky NZ for the 5 years
so we're at near 1.3 Billion
whoooo hooooooo

 

[hineyrulz]

yes it's true.

\\\\:d/\\\\:d/\\\\:d/

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Best in all of this will be Rothfiled's headline the day after.

That will be the day I know how the Jews felt walking out of the desert after 40 years in exile.

 

[Billythekid]

Is the NZ portion of the contract even up for negotiation? Even if it is it will be a completely separate thing as it is involving completely different organisations. That's what i would assume anyway.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

I thought they signed a one year extension last year. So the contract should also be up this year.

Naming rights too.

 

[Cletus]

The NZ contract ran out at the start of this season and hasn't been renewed yet.

Looks like Big Brother is going to fail for Nine, reading the Mediaspy thread.

They want to have no controversy
They are going to air hours upon hours of the shit though
Mike Goldman kicked a child
The set caught on fire
The price money is $50,000, christ Nine must be broke.

 

[juro]

Why the hell would they reinvent Big Brother? Surely it outstayed its welcome after the first year or two! This is what Nine want to use to benefit from 2 weeks of winning ratings from the Olympics???

ARLC media release - New Zealand television rights
by Rugby League Week on Friday, February 17, 2012 at 12:21pm ·

New Zealand viewers have been given their ticket to the 2012 Telstra Premiership action with Sky Television today confirming a one-year extension of its existing broadcast contract.

The agreement is the final key that brings all broadcasting and new media contracts into alignment for the upcoming broadcast negotiations while guaranteeing New Zealand Rugby League fans access to the Telstra Premiership, Harvey Norman State of Origin and VB Test.

?With the Warriors kicking off the season with a Grand Final replay at Eden Park on March 4 this is a real boost for New Zealand fans,? Australian Rugby League Commission Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said today.

?Over 700,000 New Zealanders tuned in to watch Kiwi teams in all three Grand Final day matches last year and we were always confident that we would be able to reach an interim agreement for 2012.

?We certainly acknowledge the cooperation of Sky Television Chief Executive, Mr John Fellett, in finalising the one-year agreement in advance of the more long-term negotiations taking place.

Sky Television today expressed its commitment to bringing the skill and excitement of the Telstra Premiership to New Zealand fans.

?There is enormous support for Rugby League and the Warriors in New Zealand and we see that audience growing even further in 2012,? Mr Fellett said.

?It has been a sign of good faith on both sides that we have ensured matches such as the All Stars and Charity Shield have been guaranteed while these negotiations are completed.

?I think all New Zealand sports fans will be happy to know that we now have a firm deal for 2012 and the opportunity to negotiate longer term contracts in the months ahead.?

Don't forget two American Pay TV shows, in Dallas and Anger Management.

We could start seeing a real insight on how Nine will sink after losing the NRL.

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.

Maybe Fetch TV. A lot of ISP's have fetch as part of their service. A lot more people would have access to it. Optus,Iinet, Internode and others carry the service.

Anyone who takes Grant lightly is in for a shock.

I like him. He's a hard, ruthless, seasoned campaigner who knows how to get the best outcomes. Best off all, he won't be swayed by junk media or pushed in to anything.

He's a strong leader. I really couldn't care less if he's a Prima Donna.

He won't let the game be low balled. So good to finally see someone in the game who isn't a media companies bitch.

yep well said

And Fittler!!

 

[Brutus]

Will Vautin ever be seen on TV again? The footy show will be axed for sure if 9 lose the rights.
