Havent seen any public comment from Foxtel, have I missed it?
they're in the same boat as Ch7 as far as wanting a reduction, but have been less in your face about it.

It is probably in Foxtels best interest to sit this one out in the short term and see how the cards fall after Ch 7 and CA thrash it out. Very real chance that if 7 or CA spit the dummy, that a new contract with better terms for Foxtel might be in play.
I wouldn't be shocked if Channel 7 walked away, and in the fall out we ended up with Foxtel getting exclusive sessions of the cricket, particularly given how it seems networks want the cricket more as a lead in to news/TV as opposed to a stand-alone product.
Something like only the last session of the day on free to air, or even an English style highlights package each day as opposed to live coverage, is probably in play rightly or wrongly.
I think that’s a big possibility for this Summer.I think commentating off of a TV screen from Victoria/NSW is more likely, but it is definitely possible that Channel 7 decide to just take the Foxtel feed perhaps with a panel show of Ponting and a few others during drinks and breaks (similar to Woodbridge/Healy and the 2019 Ashes)
It's funny how channel 7 and fox are being bad faith actors towards CA after CA stitched up channel 10 during the original rights negotiations. 7 and Fox don't have a leg to stand on but CA are getting their just deserts for being so absolutely incompetent, short sighted and seemingly egotistical.
Missed your experience in the media field, do law at Monash?
Sure because you know this is the internet so yeah I have multiple degrees in law and the media and guess what I am even the king of the moon! Imagine that! The honour of conversing with a king you must feel pretty special right now
No real surprise, there would be so much outrage of they didn't cover a women's international. Some would claim it as a snub to women's sport.
I sense this will all get sorted. Seven might off load some BBL games to Fox and scale back their coverage but I doubt they will walk away all together.
Are you expecting Fox to pay or would CA pick up the tab ?
I think Fox will pay for extra games. Not at the rate Seven bought them but still at a reasonable rate. I think Fox really want more of the BBL and will find the money.
As you have probably guessed I am not expert, just a guess.
