The T.V Rights Thread Part III

[jc155776]

Fox Sports News now talking about the deal.

Live Sunday night game for 13 rounds of the season.

Super Saturday and MNF remain.

Awesome.

Another scheduled game that will f**k with crowds and the clubs.

GOOD JOB ARLC you bunch of f**king useless merkins.

 

[SuperiorEasts]

lmao you want Greenburg in charge I bet

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

Just like us and the EPL. We get to see more of it than the Poms do. You get to see more Rugby League than Aussies do. It's a funny world.

We get all that live as well!!!. We're spoilt for choice here man.

FSN only ended up talking about it for a minute, but they put up a graphic with text.

FIVE LIVE GAMES ON FOX SPORTS
& DIGITAL RIGHTS FOR FIVE GAMES

INTRODUCTION OF LIVE SUNDAY NIGHT GAME
FOR 13 ROUNDS OF THE SEASON

SUPER SATURDAY & MONDAY NIGHT FOOTY REMAIN
ALL IN HD WITH NO AD BREAKS IN PLAY

So maybe there won't be a Fox League channel?

 

[Generalzod]

So much for the independent commission baloney...I wonder if other network had a fair go at getting these so call rights to the game.

 

[parra-matters]

i hope they do away with the 2nd friday night game and move it to Saturday arvo, living in NSW and working saturday morning the only way i see the broncos play is when it's on Foxsports.

Wow ! I didn't see that coming - thought our tv experts led by Doc Brown were on the money & that a change was a certainty.

As others have said, waiting for the specific details though before making a final judgement.

Doc - when you know the details of the new deal, would like to hear your thoughts on what happened.

Anyone who suggested that is far from an expert.

A couple months back I suggested if I was a bookie I'd have 9 at about $1.40 and 7 and 10 at about $8. Incumbency is incredibly powerful in this situation.

 

[Loudstrat]

Yes. The news that Kerry Stokes is about to throw major cash at the game is a disaster.

Should have stuck with Ruperts plan of Canterbury, Penrith and Cronulla representing all of NSW, right Moffo?

You dickhead :lol::lol:

 

[docbrown]

Doc - when you know the details of the new deal, would like to hear your thoughts on what happened.

The press conference is at 11am.

I hear that Fox threatened to reduce its part of the deal if 7 won the F2A rights as they're trying to block a 7 buyout.

 

[docbrown]

I'm always amused by how everyone's an expert in hindsight... :lol:

 

[parra-matters]

doesn't the same company own part of foxsports and ch9?

 

[BranVan3000]

The press conference is at 11am.

I hear that Fox threatened to reduce its part of the deal if 7 won the F2A rights as they're trying to block a 7 buyout.

Wow, reduce is pitiful 100 mill? Scary

As usual the administrators of this game have absolutely no backbone

 

[Rosetta]

Press Conference is at 11:30am.

 

[Generalzod]

So channel 7 were offering more and still went with 9 and Fox....Thats pretty smart..

 

[Brutus]

I cannot believe the coverage will stay the same.

What a friggin joke. The Sunday night stuff will only further impact on crowds.

 

[Springs]

Have they said what game will be deleted for the Sunday Night game? The simple answer would be a Saturday game, but they have said Super Saturday and Monday Night will remain.

 

[Brutus]

Ray Warren, Ray Hadley, Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler, meat Head Tallis, Vautin....


5 more years

 

[Sleep]

I'd wager it would be the 2 PM game on Sunday.

for laughs

 

[hawker]

It is 2012 surely they cannot keep showing games on delayed.

How many other major sports around the world put up with that?

EPL in the UK only get 3-4 out of 10 games a week live, none on FTA
