Australian Cricket Broadcast Rights 2018 - 2023

[Bomberboyokay]

Horse racing's audience is people born the wrong side of 1970 (Whateley probably wouldn't admit this). One guess what's happening to those in that age range. Women's cricket likely has a better future with the general public.

You obviously haven't stepped foot at a TAB or sports bar on a Saturday afternoon recently. Usually plenty of younger guys watching the races and placing bets. The popularity of horse racing is high, but for all the wrong reasons.

Gambling is the game.

TABs are loser central. Australia or at least Melbourne doesn't really do sports bars, sadly (pubs playing music and screens with virtual greyhounds don't count).

Lets leave the moralising to one side - you drew a conclusion of horse racing that others find spurious.

Cricket broadcast war rages on as Seven scoff at new CA offer

Hey folk,
Just a question about the radio rights.

In 2018, CA signed a deal with the ABC, Crocmedia and Macquarie Sports Radio.

MSR is due to cover the Men’s and Women’s International’s along with the Men’s Big Bash. Considering MSR now no longer exists, what’s going to happen because they are contracted to cover these matches. Considering it was a six year contract, this will be the third year we still have a long way to go until the deal ends.

"Despite the change in format, the stations will continue to honour their existing sports rights contracts with the AFL, NRL and Cricket Australia."

What format that "honouring" of rights takes is debatable, it could conceivably be streamed commentary, and not actually on any Nine radio station.

I am not surprised Nine have walked away from their radio commitment. They over commited on that deal in particular with woman's cricket.

It's a blow for Cricket Australia who lost Triple M after a couple of years.

Gideon is reminded of the natural antagonistic relationship between broadcasters and sporting bodies, yet he can't help but fall into the trap of every other hack journo by lamenting the unrewarded loyalty of Ch9. As if Nine's long history of covering rugby league stopped them from fleecing the NRL.

As I alluded to in another thread on here during the week, those who continue to turn their nose up at CA's decision to take that extra $230m in broadcast rights: you don't have a clue about how to keep the game relevant in this country.

You are on shaky ground referring to Haigh as a hack journo, even if you disagree with his views about the broadcast rights dispute.

This article covered both the CA and Seven sides of the argument in a fair-minded manner.

In the case of this particular contradiction I've pointed out, he hasn't done a good job of differentiating himself.

There's also the insinuation that the BBL wouldn't have become bloated if CA stayed with Nine and Ten. Another sloppy remark that you'd only expect to hear from a hack.

To be fair, Haigh wrote that the Seven/Foxtel deal further stretched what was an already stretched BBL. Which appears to acknowledge that the BBL was bloated under Nine/Ten, especially in the later years of the old arrangement.

Great to see Fox Cricket is showing a Sheffield Shield match this week.

Great to see Fox Cricket showing a Sheffield Shield match this week.

Do you think it will be a fox broadcast or just a simulcast from the CA website

Simulcast, but a few extra cameras to spruce it up a bit.

How does hiding international white ball cricket behind a paywall help to keep the game relevant in this country?

Clearly the current arrangement brings in more money without sacrificing exposure: 43 BBL games, 4-5 Tests and 30-36 women's matches on FTA per season. Plus 20 and 50 over World Cups (the only white ball internationals that actually matter) when they come around. Every base is covered, a mere fraction of the content is behind a paywall (much less than the AFL's deal).

I disagree, it would be like the AFL having the first month's worth of games behind a paywall at the start of the season.

Pretty sure it isn't.
