They had to as 7, 9 and 10 are currently only allowed 1 HD channel and 2 SD channels.

they didn't have to

they could've kept their main channel in HD and made One just in SD

considering more people watch their main channel that would have been the wise move

And I hope the NRL/Gallop has the balls to include in the contract that games must be shown on FTA nationally, at a reasonable time.

And because of how Ch 9 treats interstate fans I hope they get nothing.

Stuff the reasonable time, lets just come out and say no later than 9pm the coverage must begin....or no later than 60-90 minutes after the match has started.
Let's take AFL on in their states....yes their ratings will out draw us, but we'll get higher ratings than we do with the games being shown after midnight.

If Ten were to win would Fox lose all coverage ?
the danger I see in Fox in a bidding war would be they would have to bump all their prices up

I wouldnt mind free to air (OneHD) having the NRL rights, would save on disconnecting Fox and save on sanity as IQ wouldnt be packed with lifestyle shows the wife hoards.

Either way if Fox lifts thier prices either through AFL or NRL rights, will make very hard to justify the monthly charges for just sport.

Don't forget in 2013, If you don't get ONE, you wont get TV at all. Analog signals will be switched off.

will be interesting if Ch10 offer $1bill for exclusive rights (do they have that sort of money?) Would force Fox to offer even more or try and buy some games off Ch10 ala AFL. Fox knows it needs RL to remain viable. For Ch10 it could launch their HD channels to a whole new level.

I think you will find that the NRL are going to sell the rights piece meal. Origin will be a package, Tests another. Super Saturday, so on and so on. They won't want one broadcaster holding all the cards. I think this will be better for the game as there will be heaps more money and competition in broadcast innovations. All good for the game.

The new TV rights need a use it or lose it policy too. I would have rocked down to the pub to watch the City v Country match live, but Fox couldn't air it because 9 was airing it delayed after the Test, with 10-12 ads everytime play stopped.

It was dialobical

true, but look at the ratings for One. last night was only 0.7%

compare that to their main channel on 22.4%

source http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2010/03/week-13-3.html

so why have One as their only HD channel when f**k all people watch it?
Click to expand...

yeah part of the problem no one has digital still. Go and 7two also has low viewers.

Also Most of their sport is from US so at night is repeated no rights was up for grabs when they coudn't get major Aus sport. I dare say even they will even make a play for the Boring Super 14. They need as much LIVE sport as possible to survive. Hence this play here we have a Sports channel with no LIVE sport on Fri night doesn't make sense

OneHD does a good job with the American Sports. I know they more or less just pump through the feed but it puts our supposed "HD" to shame.

The NFL and NBA look flat out incredible. Far superior.
