TV rights deal to be announced at 2:30

[kleos]

Unconfirmed report that it has been delayed until 3.30, anyone else hear that?

Many years ago I worked for Foxtel (and did quite a bit of work at Fox Footy Channel) and the standard line about price hikes was due to the strength of the US dollar....I think the AUD was around 55 Cents at the time. The bulk of the programming is paid is USD.

Haven't really seen the prices come down lately now the AUD is nudging 1.10.

...still its only about a 100% increase.

Apparently it's been pushed back an hour, to 3.30...

Yep. Fast Ed's making a pie out of shaving cream and burnt tyres. Can't miss this week's ep of BH&G. Now on at 2.30.

Lol, an hour later and still nothing, they are doing a delay for teh lulz

 

[twentydollarnote]

I'm not sure why there's so much interest about this, all it means is everyone is going to get paid more, the rich clubs stay rich and the poor stay poor and the AFL finds other hobbies to spend the leftover on. The end.

[glenn_ox]

I think someone from AFL HQ has tried to open AFL.com for the first time, they are now desperately trying to back out of the deal.

 

[RUNVS]

Is anyone else a bit worried as so far the general tone of the press conference seems like the AFL didn't get the amount of money they were hoping for.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Channel 31 will show the finals and the Brownlow.

 

[Munro_Mick]

ABC to get the rights,

yeah, alas for Channel 31, I knew the writing was on the wall when the Marngrook show jumped ship to the ABC,

Chasers Royal Wedding actually bumped for the Chasers to familiarise with AFL ready for the 'ABC AFL Chasers commentary team'.
