I'll tell ya whats happened here folks
the aflol have the offers from foxtel & Ch 7 based on no change to the current format
a CPI increase .. nothing more.
7/foxtel have seen off the aflol's fake bidding tension & called their bluff so theres no valid reason to pay any more , they're business's not charities.
the aflol's reaction to these offers
so
as the article says , they are desperately trying to see what they can do to extract more $$ by changing the format.
SA & WA to lose their guarantee of all games on FTA
Is this worth more from foxtel ?... absolutely it is
But...
any gains here will be lost when Ch 7 offers less then current money because they will lose viewers & will demand they be compensated.
So what will the aflol give them
Regular Thursday night games &.. night GF's
yep Ch 7 are happy & back to a CPI increase on their current deal.
so the numbers
current deal 416 mill
CPI .. 21 Mill
437 Mill
WA & SA to foxtel
20 mill
457 mill
a few $ shy of 600 mill tho eh
