TV rights deal to be announced at 2:30

[MagpieJoel]

They shouldn't be, metered for Bigpond customers (one of the SMALL good points of being a Telstra Bigpond customer )

It's the only thing I have with Telstra, and it will be a hell of alot cheaper than getting Foxtel.

 

[Boxhead_31]

How much does PoxTel with SS cost?

50-60 bucks

 

[Triple E]

All games live on the T-Box is HUGE! There's already a 24 hour AFL channel but it only shows match replays, nothing live. And considering the T-Box only costs $10 a month it's a bloody steal!

Here I was thinking I might need to finally jump on the Foxtel bandwagon.

Woohoo

 

[Paranoid]

Will be getting Foxtel.

 

[Boxhead_31]

How does that work for us Austar users, where I'm pretty sure Sports is included in the basic package?

Dont think so it is it's own stand alone package like the movie package and the entertainment packages

 

[Skeppersap]

Are you sure you're in Canberra

7Mate shows Fri night at 8.30
sat arvo is always on at 2pm
sat night starts generally at 10:30-11pm

Hahah, moved to Sydney for work.

Canberra currently treat AFL much better than Sydney. This is a big win.

 

[Inspector Malceski]

4 live games in Syd/Bris which is good for the game in the growth markets

 

[legend166]

I don't understand why they moved the Saturday afternoon game to an earlier timeslot.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Foxtel kept mentioning 9 games per week... all live in full HD.

Can we assume that it will also be available for non IQHD subscribers?

 

[BIGDAZR]

if you don't have foxtel you screwed

 

[GordonBlue]

I lived in Canberra and Sydney, I know it well.

You're not understanding the overall picture, which is, essentially, for proper coverage of AFL, you're going to have to pay for it.

And again, the majority of games will be shown on Foxtel, which isn't the best we could've hoped for in terms of exposure in northern states because I don't see non-AFL fans signing up to watch our game.

It doesn't change for me, personally, I already have Foxtel. But I'm only one of 35% of Australians that have it. The AFL is betting on Foxtel growing significantly to improve its market share, I just don't see it happening.

4 Live Games Free To Air Every Week... This is a massive increase for the nothern states and provides massive exposure... we get nothing close to that in terms of NRL over here...

 

[Doctor Feel]

Will be getting foxtel in another room because football is going to be on it around the clock, and not everyone in the house appreciates that

 

[V_23]

90 minute FIXED delay for Saturday afternoon footy in Victoria, WA and SA! Dios mio!

 

[JuddyisGod]

I'd be expecting an overall Foxtel price increase, they're being very coy...

 

[Shelly]

How does that work for us Austar users, where I'm pretty sure Sports is included in the basic package?

The sports package has been separate for Austar customers for a couple of years now.

 

[Skids]

Not quite. It's either a once off payment OR $11 per month.

Comprehension fail on my part then. Cheers! Still says it costs $900 + for bundle I think.

 

[Torpedo12]

What? Sat Arvo 90 min delay?

 

[fairlight_cmi]

Agreed. Delusions of the highest order. 7 will go the way of 9 about a decade ago where they got too big for their boots and absolutely collapsed.

We can only hope.

 

[Boxhead_31]

I don't understand why they moved the Saturday afternoon game to an earlier timeslot.

Just talking about it now it is to help to feed into the Foxtel broadcast for the evening games

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Foxtel ftw!

 

[GordonBlue]

if you don't have foxtel you screwed

3 lives games > 0 live games... don't you think?

 

[Skids]

50-60 bucks

per annum? per mensum? per diem?

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Will also be getting foxtel

 

[Normy132]

Saturday afternoon on a fixed delay. Not sure about that one. Probably means Better Home & Gardens is getting moved to Saturday afternoon.

 

[damuzzdu]

Saturday avro used to be LIVE in SA on Channel 10.

NOW DELAY on Channel 7 by 60 mins. LOLZ!!!!!!

GET STUFFED Channel 7

7 you are a joke
