thats good news for footy fans in NSW, QLD and the ACT, but really, the biggest thing that this will effect is stuff like the golf, which is hoarded and not shown on FTA
I really hope that means that WA finally gets live Friday night games. I'm sick to death of having to wait three hours for the game to start. They recently had the Fremantle/Geelong game live here and it was awesome.

Two things driving this..
The governments deregulation of the digital channels, which is a good thing for consumers.
And the AFL's obsession with live sport gambling. They are pushing live TV big time. The sportbetting cut will be huge.
While I like the idea, the 2nd point worries me.

if 7 gets the rights again. we won't get get games live
Yeah I can just see the gambling ads going absolutely crazy, polluting our screens. It is bad enough as it is now. But that is a separate issue.
As for the new changes, this is brilliant news for the majority of us without Fox. Finally the digital channels will be used as they were set-up for...to show sport live!
I haven't watched a Friday Night game in years because the game is already finished by the time it gets on TV

In SD? No thanks.
You do realise that digital channes are HD? (ONE HD, 7mate, GEM are all HD).
None of the main channels are HD anymore.

does it mean we will get more games on free-to air?
No, we just might get the games live.
AFL will be on foxtel in some shape or form. the AFL would be stupid not too include them in the next deal if people want live footy on a friday night in WA QLD & NSW fox will have to be included.
FOX footy coverage>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 10 and 7
50 bucks a month to watch live ad free footy worth every cent IMO.

They will be forced too.
And Ten/ONE show most games live anyway, so it is really only Friday night footy that this affects.
perth footy problems go deeper than friday night.
10 on saturday show before the game when the game is on delaying it by 90 mins at least
if its a WA team they go live.
Then there are the games that dont get shown at all,when 7 or 10 show the same game fox does.

What it could mean is that 7 or ten on saturday and Sunday in paticular could show two or more games at once.
For seven on Sunday The early and late game on MATE and the mid afternoon game on SEVEN
For Ten on Saturday , 2 day games on on 1HD and 10 and the same again for the night games. If this happends its farewell foxtel at my place.

Seven and Ten aren't going to cannibalize their AFL audience by showing two games at once.
This.
The only hope for non-Eagles/Freo fans is that they either show the game they didn't show straight after the WA team plays, or they give it to Fox to show like the old agreement was.
They won't show two games at once.
This would seem to be a problem caused exclusively by the anti-siphoning rules.
There's no reason why they wouldn't show those games on a secondary digital channel if they were allowed to. I don't buy the 'cannibalising their audience' argument, as they wouldn't particularly care which channel people were watching and it would, almost certainly, increase their total audience.

Bingo.
When it comes down to it I just can't see how they would want to be forking over what Foxtel previously paid for the tv rights, then the cost of producing the games (all those extra cameras and commentators) and then to be showing different games at the same time on different channels.
Particularly when ratings have tanked this year.
7 and 10 rarely have to provide a crew to broadcast games in perth,as they leave all those for fox to do.
that being the case fox will not relinquish those games seeing they go to the expense of providing the broadcast.
i will keep foxtel for as long as they show footy without ad breaks.
its worth the money just for that i reckon.

Well, I think it was the example of showing a Fox game and blacking out a 7 or 10 game on 7 or 10. It wouldn't increase production costs showing that game on 7Two, 7mate or One. And would almost certainly increase total audience.
But even so, it wasn't that long ago (well, 15+ years ago anyway) that Channel 7 used to cover the occasional game exclusively for the Perth market.
