“Clubs are bracing for the commercial impact of delayed free-to-air AFL coverage on Saturdays from next year as Fox Footy holds exclusive live broadcast rights of the game nationally for the first eight rounds.

The deal means that supporters of teams playing anywhere in Australia on Saturday in the first eight rounds will need a Foxtel or Kayo subscription to watch them live, with free-to-air coverage on Seven to be delayed. Only the Anzac eve, Anzac Day and Dreamtime games will be shown live on free-to-air if they fall on a Saturday.
But for Victorian audiences, that arrangement lasts longer, and extends to the first 15 rounds before Seven can broadcast Saturday night games live. Seven has the rights to broadcast Thursday and Friday night matches, and Sunday afternoon games, and the overall number of free-to-air games broadcast will remain the same as they were under the previous agreement. Fox Footy will use dedicated commentary teams for each match.”

Who in their right mind takes a week off work for that?

Not sure, probably not many, but given the deal is centred around Tourism WA and they're planning flights packages for NM fans it seems that is the premise with which the WA government is parting with its taxpayers money.

Fta is shite anyway, just get Kayo.

Is it true that most WC and Fremantle games are live on FTA?

Yes I think most are apart from maybe 3.

I dunno I've just had fox/kayo for years.

Seems about as smart as tourism nsw investing in the a league.

Did games stop being delayed on friday nights the moment ch 10 lost the rights?

Is it true that most WC and Fremantle games are live on FTA?

Yep. A couple a season are on delay but other than that they are live on 7.

Apologies to SOS. Thought he was the idiot that pushed Tuohy out of Carlton for peanuts.
Turns out Bolton was a Clarkson mini me nutcase.
