TV rights thread part 4

[franklin2323]

If the tards show RL nationwide. They don't waste royalties to other companies. Maybe now they will

 

[Joker's Wild]

best idea would be to stop promoting AFL with 5 hours of TV each week when they don't even have the rights

As much as I hate AFL, this would be a silly idea

Having AFL content lets them get market share in the southern states. Much like 10 does with the game plan

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Are we up shit street a bit if nine do go to the wall? Would leave reduced competition for the FTA rights and maybe they could be stubborn and say well you didnt choose us last time so take our offer (most likely piss weak) or leave it

Na. There are mechanisms in place which guarantee that the game will get paid regardless.

Id say we would still receive our total amount, but if another network picks the rights up, they'll pay what they want and 9 will have to make up the difference.

Yeah so show it in the southern states, not in ours where we dont give a shit. Could easily use that time to promote the NRL.

As others have suggested, they should cater the content for each state.

On a similar note though, when viewers tune in for the news, unless there's some major scandal, the first sports story should actually be about the sport you own the rights to.

I've watched Channel 9 on the Friday news lead with an AFL story. They may as well say "Hey, don't watch Channel 9 tonight. Go watch 7!"

:lol:

they have more hours dedicated to AFL than NRL

i'm talking about TV shows

4 hours of NRL compared to 5 of AFL

They're filming the Squizzy Taylor one at the moment and have got 2 more seasons already in development.

Great, another Victorian series shoved down our throats for a few weeks telling us how bad Victoria's criminals are/where compared to Sydney's :crazy:

Looks like we would stay with 9 whether we like it or not...

Ten shares dive after buyer pulls out

TEN Network shares have plummeted to a record low after its agreement to sell its outdoor advertising business was terminated by the prospective buyer.

Ten struck a deal in July with Outdoor Media Operations (OMO), owned by Champ Private Equity, for the sale of Eye Corp for up to $145 million.

Today it announced that the deal had been terminated but the parties were still in talks over the potential sale.

"While Ten has reserved its legal position regarding the purported termination, Ten and OMO remain in discussions with the aim of agreeing amended sale terms," the broadcaster said.

Shortly after the announcement at 11.41am AEDT Ten shares dived 7.46 per cent, or 2.5 cents, to a record low of 31 cents.

The news follows speculation earlier this week that OMO had expressed concerns about Eye Corp's financial performance.

In response, Ten said on Monday that its negotiations with OMO over the sale terms were ongoing. Ten is due to release its full year results tomorrow.

Nine strikes deal to save the network - CEO David Gyngell jubilant
By Phil Jacob

October 17, 2012 2:40PM


NINE Entertainment boss David Gyngell has locked in a deal with lenders that leaves the company "safe" and debt free just hours after the birth of his son.

After a marathon two days of negotiations, which were interrupted by Mr Gyngell rushing from the meeting last night wife Leila McKinnon's side as she gave birth to their first child, Edmund.

Mr Gyngell this afternoon emerged from the offices to declare the deal had been finalised.

Nine's warring lenders hedge fund senior lenders led by Oaktree Capital and Apollo Global Management on one side and mezzanine debtholders led by Goldman Sachs on the other had been working for the past 12 months on a compromise deal to keep the company from falling into administration.

The debt is not a result of the operations of the nine network.

The debt was shifted to the network from CVC asia pacific as a way of financing their purchase of nine.

It has nothing to do with the CEO of nine or its operations.

 

[taipan]

Ch9 now debt free,equity held by lenders.The station makes $250m pa profit,hardly a dead end setup.
Now rugby league has certainty,with this decision,the contract will not alter moneywise.There may well be a trimming of staff salaries or trimming the fat.

 

[Mr Saab]

They should give Tim Gilbert, Michael Slater, and Sutcliffe their marching papers.
