Even though I would prefer that it remains on FTA stations, yep I can agree with Foxtel putting in a bid. But then you would see ads on Foxtel as well , currently their portion is somewhere in vicinity of 50 million per year fro four games a week. So to get it by themselves next year at that rate it would 100 mill a year. Not going to happen unless they get an increase in buy in by the general public. Currently at 33% of homes have Foxtel , off which I would estimate possibly only 50% have Fox Sports.
Foxtel needs a massive buy in to get the rights by themselves even if people are forced to. So that means ......advertising to pay for it.
