Would be funny watching the meltdown from some hereof it does go through -

I would hate it to go to paramount streaming. Would get rid of fox that’s for sure.

The diff between regional and metro though is more than just “how many eyes” - regional is very spread out and diluted

agree, some years back i had a full rundown of dollars per metro and regional (cannot get it now, it was through THINK TV )

Oh - and I won the gurnsey after the game - signed and all.

If Paramount get the deal then I would be having to drop my foxtel - as the only reason I have it is for the footy. Foxtel would have to consider that surely - many people are going to have to decide which one to drop as already have a couple of streaming services. So the cost of not having the AFL ...
