TV rights thread part 4

[El Diablo]

There are local blackouts for NBA.tv, so for example in LA the Lakers games will be blacked out to protect local TV deals. Not sure if it's available after though.

can't see it mattering from reading the article

Under the current broadcasting deal, live streaming was only permitted to overseas destinations - with Australian audiences forced to wait until 24 hours after the game had completed.

But under the new television deal announced on Tuesday, those restrictions have been removed in what could prove to be a financial windfall for the game.

So in which order do the tv stations pick the games?

 

[Digga Hole]

When picking games 20 rounds in advance they're more likely to spread it around a little more though.

It's a big danger for them if they mostly go with the broncos in QLD and say the tigers/dragons in Sydney and they have crap years.

Even though I think it would be better if they didn't pick them , I think we'll see a better spread than we currently get.

I think it will work the other way.

They will have little idea what teams will be good/bad, so any combination could be a fizzer.

The safest thing to do will be to pick the popular teams, as good or bad, they are likely to average more than any other team with similar on-field performance.

Thats a fair point , but still a huge risk on their part.

They could end up with plenty of dud games.

Overall I think the thing that will sculpt the schedule the most is the previous seasons performace.

If teams like the raiders/sharks/panthers can get themselves into the top four they should see a decent amount of FTA games the following season.

Certainly in 03/04/05 the panthers got plenty of FTA exposure. And the raiders did in the early to mid 90's.

Good luck sharks / warriors / Canberra

yep

 

[beads6]

I am one of those.
I hate the Broncos and live in Brisbane.
But I can live with this deal because it is exactly what the game needs at the moment.
It may not have been the deal I dearly wanted in terms of better coverage, but I have no doubt the next deal in five years will give me what I want. No doubt what so ever.

So yeah, I can look past the disappointing aspects of this deal because the positives that will come from this deal, in time, will outweigh the negatives.

Lets see how these clowns spend the money before we take any positives out of this deal. Really the deal has given channel 9 far too much power.

 

[Canucks]

Now: NRL picks draw, Stations pick slots per week
New Deal: Nine picks clashes they want on Fridays, pick 2 per week for 20 weeks, NRL designs draw around what Nine want.

Thats my understanding from Mattiske said on radio....

I haven't heard anything around restrictions on min/max Monday night games per team or whatever.... They should have to pick minimum 3 Friday night games per team....

Loos like the clubs are happy with the fine print.

COWBOYS chief executive Peter Jourdain says he is satisfied with the NRL's new broadcasting schedule because Queensland rivals the Broncos will be given no more than two-thirds of free-to-air Friday night games.

Despite the Cowboys being on course to finish the season as Queensland's No.1-ranked club, Channel 9 boss David Gyngell has made no secret of the network's desire to screen Broncos matches to boost ratings.

Broncos chief executive Paul White says the club is amenable to Saturday and Sunday fixtures, and Cowboys counterpart Jourdain refused to be critical of Brisbane's Friday night monopoly.

"The scheduling is fine with me," he said.

"I believe in the finer details (of the new TV rights deal) no team can get more than two-thirds of the same time slot, so there's things in there to share the games around.

"There's limits on how many Monday night games you can get, for example.

"It's good that the NRL will have scheduling for the first 20 rounds (next season) and then by round 16 we will know for the rest of the year.

"It's better for our fans and our crowds if we can get Saturday nights and what we would hope for is a good share of free-to-air Channel 9 games."

The ARL Commission has forecast the possibility of having NRL matches streamed live on mobile devices in 2013.

ARLC interim chief executive Shane Mattiske said talks over new media rights were already well down the track and the ARLC fought hard for the right to stream matches during its negotiations.

Mattiske also revealed the league could go out on its own in a bid to tap into the potentially lucrative market, which has become a far more valuable commodity under the new television deal.

"A key element of what was held out of the broadcast deals was our ability to deliver a stream that's simultaneous to the broadcast signal to people for viewing over mobile devices," Mattiske said.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

9/Fox just pick scheduling not the draw. So exactly the same as now except the scheduling for the first 20 rounds is set before the start of the season.

 

[Frailty]

They could end up with plenty of dud games.

They have plenty of dud games this year too...

Nine do NOT choose based on how well a team is playing. This myth has been proven false on many occasions in the last 5 years.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I can't believe why the nrl doesn't just pick the first 20 rounds times teams etc

Then tell the stations to do their best

The stations will be ultra conservative now;

You will only see dragons tigers dogs eels Souths on a Friday nite all year

And the broncos will be the other games

They only reason the small teams got a run on Friday night was if they were playing good. Now that option is goooone

Channel 9's power hasnt changed other than scheduling where they have given up their previous rights.

No they didn't. The only reason the smaller teams got on Friday night was if they were playing one of the favourite teams (Canberra had to play Bulldogs, any one of them against the broncos).

Raiders program could get green light with new funds

Date
August 22, 2012

The Canberra Raiders are exploring options to fund their own television program in the wake of the game's one billion dollar broadcasting deal.

Raiders chief executive Don Furner said the club would also look to enhance its development programs in the region and was preparing a business model to take advantage of the new Thursday night and Sunday evening time slots that would be trialled next year.

Furner said the Raiders had already been in discussions with WIN Television about the potential for a half-hour Raiders program to air on one of Channel Nine's supplementary digital channels.

''They're offering clubs every week, if they put their own package together, that they'll air it,'' Furner said. ''Obviously you need money for the production of the program but as part of the whole bigger grants we'll get, we'll have that funding available.

''We've spoken to WIN Television about a show for [channels] Go or Gem … if we get a production budget we'll be able to do it.''

Wait all the clubs can do this?

Now that is a great idea, every one-team-town getting their own tv show like Broncos TV...

All of regional QLD, the GC, Newie, Canberra, Melbourne, Illasox...
This could be awesome

 

[Brutus]

I see nine want to buy that racing car rubbish and use it as a lead-in to the sunday NRL.

They better not mess around with the 2 pm QLD Cup game in QLd.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Didnt they commit to the QLD cup in the Announcement conference?

 

[Brutus]

Didnt they commit to the QLD cup in the Announcement conference?

They did, but i read an article where they want the V8s as a lead in to Sunday footy. You watch the QLD cup get shafted.

Actually the QLD Cup should probably move to Saturday to give fans at least some free to air league on that particular day.

Each club could have their own show as part of the 2 hours per day on channel 94
