No Sunday Night Football as the AFL are not interested after poor crowds last season.
Can only work in Adelaide and Perth since the crowds will come regardless.
Even then, it would have to be a 5:40pm Eastern start at the latest.

I can't imagine that Foxtel could affford to let it go no matter what the price is. Surely half of their subscribers would only get Foxtel because of sport.

If there was a Sunday Night AFL Game in Perth it will have a 5:40pm Local Start & in Adelaide 6:40pm.
Nine wants a whole...one match per round! I'm sure Seven is terrified by this grand challenge.

It doesn't say how much Ten wants, though. I like the idea of splitting it up - it will hopefully put more pressure on them to improve their coverage. Ch7 having the free-to-air monopoly makes it too easy for them to spud it up with overloaded commentary teams.
Nine will probably be going after the Saturday Night FTA game.
It will be a bit different to when they had Friday Night footy which is a stand alone time slot. Unless the AFL makes some changes and make Saturday Night stand alone and put the other game some other time slot.

A 7/9/10/Fox Footy combination would be awesome. Even if 7 kept the Friday night and Sunday afternoon games, 9 got the Saturday night games, and 10 got some 'local' games that aren't in key time slots (i.e. similar to the current deal 7 has to air all Suns/Lions games live in QLD, GWS/Sydney games live in NSW, etc).
I just hope the AFL force the major rights holders to air the games on their primary channels in QLD and NSW. The Monday afternoon Queen's Birthday game was played on 7 Mate in QLD, yet on channel 7 was a ******* cooking show re-run. What a joke.

thinking Ch 9 would want the sunday arvo game for the lead into news ....then... bogan reality building show ... then 60 minutes
ch10 get the Saturday night game,
my 2 cents....
Friday night - Ch7
Sat arvo (early) - Fox
Sat arvo -fox/Ch7 (delayed)
Sat arvo (late) - Fox
Sat Night – fox
Sat night – Ch10
Sun Arvo (early) - fox
Sun Arvo - ch 9
Sun Arvo (late) – fox
also the next round of negotitaions will see a floating fixtures as per NRL, so no more spud games on a friday night.

Why is the Saturday 3pm TV game delayed? Why not make that game at 3:20pm like the Sunday game?
Also, I'd have 10 do Saturday and Saturday Night like they used to.

What's the likelihood of Foxtel still having every game live?

Foxtel would pay well over what the rights are worth just to maintain their 'every game live, ad free siren to siren'. It's one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, seller of Foxtel in Australia.
If Foxtel were to lose every game, they'd lose a huge chunk of their business. I know I would cancel my subscription if that were the case.
They've invested too much into Fox Footy to lose out now.

I think Channels Seven & Foxtel will go for all the AFL TV Rights once again, 5 Games FTA This will include Every Friday Night Game, 1x Saturday Afternoon (Live coverage in VIC, SA & WA), 1x Saturday Night (Live Coverage in VIC, SA & WA), 1x Sunday (Live Coverage in VIC, SA & WA) & Every Sunday Night Game.
Regarding Saturdays in WA & SA, Saturday Night Footy will be shown every Round as well.

Is it school holidays already?
Perhaps Channel 7 has more than they are letting on.
They seem to have landed a big deal with Racing Victoria to present Victorian racing on a daily basis free-to-air.

7/9/10 joining forces. Will the Grand Final rotate on each channel or will 7 and 10 share the GF live and exclusive leaving 9 in the cold.
This might be something you take for granted but it seems a bit strange to me as a non-Australian. Why is leading into the news so important? In other words, why are the news ratings seen as being so prestigious? In the UK I guess we have it a little bit between BBC and ITV (especially in the mid 2000s) but the big battlegrounds are the soaps and main reality shows. Has this always been the case in Australian television?
i think it's just a ploy by 9. the nrl rights will be next. and nrl would seriously be looking at selling the origin in a separate package to the nr. 9 won't want to lose that and 7 will be chasing the origin l

Basically this. Sunday news in Aus (on 7/9 at least) is consistently in the top 10 shows of the week. It's an anarchism but worth fighting for in the network's eyes; it's why Sunday games start at 3pm now.
Give it time. Is guess as more embrace news on this new thing called the 'internet' (or the oldies/remote peeps die/upgrade) it will fizzle out.
But I'm no anthropologist/TV exec (although I am better at threads than MWNN).
Yeah it baffles me over the news being so important and high rating, can’t really remember when ive sat and “watched” the news, ill have it on in the back ground, but rarely watch it. I tend to browse the news all day on the internet so anything on the tv is already old.
But from all accounts, apparently if the news does not start right on 6pm, the universe as we know it will fold in on itself and all time and matter will cease to exist.

Those who probably don't watch footy would loose their minds if it went longer and the news was pushed back
Ch 7 didn't always behave like this. In the early 90s, the news was on at 5:30pm on Saturdays to allow for "AFL Today" to go from 6pm-7:30pm (highlights show). When Ch 7 did live double header Sundays, the news would either come between the two games at 5pm, or after the double header at 7pm. The two West Coast v Hawthorn finals at Subiaco with the 5pm eastern start forced a condensed version of the news to be shown at halftime.
