Could CH 9 end up with the Footy?

[finders]

Yes: The son of The Dirty Digger, Lachlan Murdoch, hates AFL, loves N.R.L. and is concerned the ONE HD Channel is a dead duck focussing on sport alone.
Evidence is, since Lachlan taking over ONE H.D. is no longer exclusive to sport. The other matter is Channel 10 do not seem to have the money.
My bet is Ch9 and Fox.

YEP L Murdoch has been seduced by Sincitys bright lights but it looks like CH 10 might turn into another Onetel for him if he is not smarter and gets his head out of the Sydney sand.

The prospect of Eddie, Jim, Garry, Derm, Crawf, (BT? Spud?) & the Doc calling live Friday night footy is jizzworthy

From a selfish point of view, my only desire is that all 9 games will be live each week, whether that be via free to air OR pay tv (victoria)

Is it at least looking like that would be the case regardless of who gets the rights? I had a read through some earlier posts but the simulcast stuff confused me.

Edit
After putting the bottle down for a minute and rereading those OP articles, it seems like foxtel will be showing all games live regardless?

Yep, it looks as though whoever wins, Foxtel will show all games live.

The word coming out after today's AFL Commission meeting is that 7 & 10 are very confident they will win.

Channel 10 dropped out of the deal with 7 three weeks ago according to reports today

Is a straight 7 vs 9 battle now

And it seems 7 are in the far better position to win the rights according to The Australian newspaper:

[damochandler]

i don't think 7 would sell off it's games. 9 would

 

[Strawbs]

Please God, anyone but 9.

 

[The Speaker]

lets hope so.

gee i have a feeling 10 might pull out it's deal with 7 for some reason

Good call, but not because Ten wants the footy...
