AFL close to $2b broadcast deal

[Port182]

The AFL is on the verge of announcing an historic new broadcast deal potentially worth $2 billion over six years with the Seven Network and Foxtel starting in 2017.

League chief Gillon McLachlan was finalising the finer points of the record agreement with News Corp, Channel Seven and Fox bosses on Monday night, with an announcement looking to come as early as Tuesday and certainly this week.

In answer to the question you really want to ask, the AFL clearly has a bigger dick than the NRL.

 

[Turkey Tom]

I am reading it right? Less games on FTA? Glad the AFL is thinking of the fans! Oh well, more time to watch other sport I suppose...stuff the AFL.

 

[manboob]

Great more of the same s**t for another decade.

Go * yourself all involved. Assholes.

 

[Struggle]

CH7 again....and they want to show less games? Whhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Abomination]

Oh, for crying out loud... please, PLEASE give Ten back the rights to Saturday games.

Six more ******* years of Big Boy McEvoy and The Package Stringer? * me dead.

12 Thursday night games a year, and when there's no Thursdays, the Saturday afternoon doesn't get televised. On the minus side, less FTA footy. On the plus side... no more Hamish and Basil!

How much nrl get

950 million for their best 4 games is all that is confirmed. So their ceiling is about 1.6 bill

Please bring nine and ten back, or allow fox to provide their own commentary over games broadcast on seven. Because really, seven are the worst broadcasters going around. Give me vfl on abc over anything seven produce.

with quarterbrain and biased wallsy? no thanks

Because "Darce", "Lingy", "Richo", BT and Bruuuuuuuuuce are so much better?

 

[Pykie]

its not as good as made out, only 2b if it's a 6 year deal.

What were the previous ones? 3 or 4?

did i say they were better?

nine had the best team

 

[Power Raid]

how many friday night carlton games did the AFL have to promise?

 

[Roo Beauty]

Only 3 games on FTA?

Well isn't that just a big '* you!' to the fans.

 

[aloanfromsloane]

2 Billion for blurred vision on channel 7? Gill Macfloppyhair.....I tip my lid!

I'll be furious if they scrap the streaming, like I'm hearing. Everything is on the internet now, it would be typical of the AFL to make an anti progressive move.

Includes Origin and Test matches too I believe. Their deal will end up at 1.65 for 5 years I believe, once the digital stuff is parcelled together. Similar amount per year, but their rep footy helps.
