FTA-TV 2017 AFL Broadcast rights

[Connar]

If Ten can get all the AFL TV Rights, then hopefully we can have a few Twilight Finals Matches.

I think it will be shared between Seven/Ten/Foxtel. Ten doesn't have enough in the bank to get the full FTA rights, in fact I don't think they'll have enough at all to bid.

Ten up on the sales block so might have Time Warner or someone similar funding them by then.

Seven/Ten/Foxtel will be back to the future. Would like to see Ten partner up with Foxtel to give us the best AFL coverage. Live, Free and in HD. Seven also have Olympic commitments in 2020 and the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018 which will interfere with AFL coverage.

I would just like to see all 8 Finals & Grand Finals on that One FTA Channel.

And Seven would have a major problem on its hands with most of their AFL commentators away on Olympic duty, as was the case for the 1992, 1996, 2008 Olympics. (The 2000 Olympics in Sydney was held after the AFL season, and the 2004 Games in Athens was when 7 didn't have the AFL rights.)

Yea, 1992 & 1996 Sandy & Bruce (Also away for 2008) as well as Dennis, Peter Landy & Drew Morphett were all away for the Olympics. Bruce went in 2012 (Nine had the Olympics TV Rights) & I imagine that Bruce, Hamish McLachlan & Basil Zempilas will all go in 2016 & I also imagine that Dennis will not go like he did in 2008. Dennis called the 2006 Commenwealth Games at Nine.

Ted whitten did commentary for a brisbane to fill in during the barcelona 92

Dennis is retiring at the end of the current broadcast rights.

Anyone think they're being optimistic with the 1.6 billion dollar figure

A Year & a Half ago Bruce said if he had a choice between MCG & Flemington when he is retired, he will go to Flemington. To me I really hope that Ten has a better year in 2015 as they have also got the V8 Supercars TV Rights once again.

And you only have to look at the way Ten did the Bathurst 1000 (2006 for example), and then compare it to Seven.

I am feeling upset there is no Sunday Night Football anymore!! I do enjoy Football on Sunday Nights.

Perhaps go with 5:40pm EST for games in Adelaide (5:10pm local) and Perth (3:40pm local).
The Crows were the pioneers of Sunday Night football in the early 90s while it keeps the game still in the arvo over in the west.

10 need another partner at least. They don't have the cash to go it alone with fox

There was a Sunday Night Game in the Last Round in 1997 between Port & St Kilda at Football Park, there was also another one a week later with the Qualifying Final between Geelong & North at the MCG.

Anyone wanting all games on free to air is deluding themselves, won't happen.

I really hope 9 put in a bid, as mentioned can't see them being serious contenders because of NRL/cricket but would be great all the same

 

[muppet007]

Nine Entertainment Co. CEO David Gyngell said at the company's AGM today that Nine will consider taking a part in the bidding process, but has said he doubts the rights could fetch as much as $2 billion.

Mr Gyngell also said Nine would consider taking part in the upcoming bidding process for AFL rights from 2017. Nine already had substantial sporting commitments in rugby league and cricket.

But he poured cold water on suggestions the rights could fetch as much as $2 billion.

"I think it's a joke, they're dreaming. They're not going to get it," he said

Why didn't Ten not bid for the rights to televise the VFL, SANFL and WAFL competitions? Imagine a VFL game between Port Melbourne and Sandringham, or a SANFL match between Port and Norwood being shown live on Ten/ONE- in prime time, with a 7:00pm start (6:30pm pre-game show).

 

[CozzaD]

They want a 10 year deal so they can buy out Etihad Stadium earlier than 2025. Period.

 

[damochandler]

9 will only join the bidding process to mark up the price. so there will be very little competition for them when a year later when the nrl rights come up. the nrl will be looking for 1.5 billion and beyond

I don't see the NRL getting anywhere near the $1.5 billion figure. I doubt the AFL will get $1.6 billion either but I could be wrong as I did not think they would get $1.1 billion for the last TV rights deal.

I imagine that the Next AFL TV Rights will look like this:

Seven to Screen 4 AFL Matches per Round, all Finals, Brownlow Medals & Grand Finals live
Fox to Screen all 9 Matches per Round & all Finals & Brownlow Medals live.
Ten will screen 1 SANFL, VFL & WAFL Match per round, all Finals & Grand Finals live

Ten commentary Team SANFL:

PDP: Mark Soderstrom
SC: Tim Ginever
Boundary: Nick Butler

Ten Commentary Team VFL:

PDP: Stephen Quartermain
SC: Matthew Lloyd
Boundary: Mark Howard

Ten Commentary Team WAFL:

PDP: Tim Gossage
SC: Ben Allan
Boundary: Lachy Reid

So say if there's a state game on Ten between ie VFL and SANFL from Melbourne, the 10 commentary team would be:

Commentators: Stephen Quartermain, Mark Soderstrom
Special Comments: Matthew Lloyd, Tim Ginever
Boundary: Mark Howard, Nick Butler

What do you mean?

For WAFL Games the Ten commentary Team would be:

Commentators: Tim Gossage
Special Comments: Ben Allan
Boundary: Lachy Reid
