so how much money has Stan got ?

Arent they just Channel 9 ?

I thought 9 was laying off staff and doing it tough ?

They dont need to buy it, they just need to offer enough to push Fox above their normal sht low offer.

 

[Perth Red]

They bid 500 million pa for all the afl rights

Even if they bid that now with nz that puts as at around 530 million pa

you'd want that to be cash, not cash and contra.

Im not confident it will be them … maybe some other crowd will do that.

Realistically probably only 9/Stan or 10/Paramount are in the running given negotiations will happen next year. Maybe time next one roles around 2033 more streaming services are buying sports rights like NRL.

I expect it will be 550 to 600 million cash

None of this contra bs like you know who did

It will be Fox and nein again

Stan will keep Fox honest this time or maybe even pay overs

Idea for an away jersey - this, but mostly white with the black & red striped bit kept "as is"

What's the feeling around 9s coverage right now?

I remember there was a lot of comments a few years ago that their coverage was pretty dire & tired.. as if they'd become complacent.

Has 9 improved or would it still best to get the refresh that a new FTA outlet would bring?

We just get the Fox feed here via Sky in NZ, so interested to know if 9 have lifted their standard.

theres a good tv rights debate in the media section, feel free to join in there.

Back to Western Bears. A first informal meeting of some fans is happening in a Perth pub tomorrow, looking forward to a beer or two and some RL chat. Could be the first gathering of a new supporters club!

Fair call, I got suckered into topic-drift there... lol.

Well, I'm not offended... and the comment was aimed at me so there's that.

In a word... horrendous. I`ve taken to watching all the games on Kayo, despite the frustrating glitches sometimes.
Whenever Paul Vautin is on I find it the worst, absolute lame arse with everyone chuckling or often guffawing at his every banal utterance. You`d think the numpty would have got the hint when Sterlo retired.
The other one is Johns with his hyperbole and one-trick pony analysis.
Slater is great and I don`t mind Freddy on the sideline.
Overall very poor and an insult to the game and viewers.

Yeah, sounds like a place that's had the rights too long & getting sloppy & complacent. But we're getting into a topic far off-track for this thread. Happy to leave it at that.

 

[blue bags]

Dave smith totally annoyed Fox by cancelling Monday night football and giving nein another game on Saturday taking away Fox exclusive super Saturday

Guy was a genius

Monday night NRL holds the TV ratings record I believe

At least they dropped Gus for the GF but Johns is nearly as boring.

I’d be surprised if MNF doesn’t return once there’s 10 games per round.

 

[blue bags]

That would be cool ! Might take a few years with some clubs alternating grounds or not hosting WA some years but still cool.
Keep the tickets and put them all in a frame with pictures of the Bears running out at every ground or separate frames as a hallway collection

Bears could play an annual match at Adelaide
NRL had big crowds of around 28,000
At Adelaide at One stage

Maybe you could bring low level abuse at anybody who disagrees with you? You seem to be good at that. Possibly a result of belonging to a parasite club? Just asking.

"They were the kids, teens, 20 somethings screaming for the likes of Greg Florimo, Billy Moore, Gary Larson, David Fairleigh and Peter Jackson in the successful ’90s era."

2024 - 1994 = 30

30 + 20 = 50.

Would you like me to read Spot the Dog for you next?



And lol, how many teens were screaming for the bears. Absolute rot swallowed by dullards.

Yeah I get the math, what I don't get is why you think the age or average of a bears fan makes any difference .... you've added 2+2 and created 5
