NRL to reap $1.2b from TV rights

[Xman]

Collingwood miss out on just 2 weeks, the weeks they play the banned teams :D

Talk about haves and have nots

No wonder halve your sides are on handouts

round 4,7, 9,10,13,18 they were NOT on FTA in to Melbourne...so 5 less FTa games than the Broncos

Try using your eyes next time

[pussycat]

Using your feeble excuses & flawed logic; about 14 or 15 of the Broncos matches are only seen outside of Qld on a 2 hour delay. the 2 hour delay match would attract a lower audience than PTV .

Try using your mind next time

What? They're still on TV 21 games out of 24 at the expense of other teams like the raiders. That's all that matters to them!

Where as Collingwood v suns will be shown to Brisbane only allowing ch7 to show the demons into Melbourne.

Try comparing Apples with Apples! The Broncos are shown live in there own state 70% of the time : west coast are shown live in their state 100% of the time.

That's because the AFL have a far better FTa deal. Add the other 7 teams in WA SA NSW and QLD to that list.

A comparison of the top broadcasts isnt the issue. It's the fact our least popular teams get a far better deal on FTA than the NrLs, and a comparison of our best and worst favoured is far better than the laughable NRLs.

For example the demons get about 1/3 of the FTa games that Collingwood do which reflects that the Demons are near bottom on the ladder and the pies near top.

Where as the broncos get 7 times the FTA games the raiders do! 7 times! and that's irrespective of their ladder position.

How Many games do thes Suns get? .... gws?

Every.....

That's 19 more than the Raiders and probably a similar number more than the storm

Raiders want greater NRL TV recognition

Resurgent Canberra are hoping to bankroll their NRL finals success into a healthier slice of the free-to-air TV pie in 2013.
Following a 2012 in which they appeared on Channel Nine just twice during the regular season, the Raiders are adamant they deserve more exposure and recognition after emerging as one of the most exciting teams in the NRL in their unexpected charge to the semi-finals.
Raiders’ boss Don Furner has requested his club host high-rating St George Illawarra in one of the marquee Thursday night games that both Channel Nine and the NRL have scheduled to kick off the new $1 billion broadcast deal in the first month of the new season.
On the back of their entertaining brand of football and a roster that boasts some of the most exciting names in the game, Furner said it was time Canberra received greater free-to-air recognition – and vital exposure for the club’s sponsors.
“We want something that amounts to our fair share,” Furner said.
“We are looking for some sort of cooperation from the NRL and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
“I understand the commercial realities of it all and I know Channel Nine paid a lot of money for the rights but there has to be a better way.
“We had two games on Channel Nine last year and, if it goes that way again, we could win 19 out of our first 19 games and still not be on free-to-air TV during the first 20 rounds next year.”
Newcastle hosted the Dragons in the round-one opener this year on a Thursday night and Furner said the Raiders were keen play the joint venture club in Canberra on a Thursday night in round three or four in 2013.
“The only Channel Nine game we had at home this year was against the Bulldogs (in round 23) that was a reward for how we were going,” Furner said.
“We are hoping the NRL will apply the same sort of thinking to the new draw given how well we went at the end of last season.”
The NRL will release the draw next week for the first 20 rounds of the new season. The round-one Thursday night season opener is tipped to be between arch-rivals Sydney Roosters and South Sydney.
Furner said he hoped the Raiders’ Channel Nine allowance would be raised to six games in 2013, starting with a Thursday night jewel which would be an early-season boon to the club, its sponsors and fans.

Doesn't sound to me that anything has been decided on.
According to this website they had 3 matches last year. Given they made the 8 this year one would expect they'll do better.

The NRL are'nt running a closed shop like the AFL do with collingwood and Carlton

Yeah taking a wile hey, lets hope they get it done soon. To be fair the Commission has been busy but still NZ SKY/Online Rights should have been at the top or near the top of the list.

As for Collingwood and Carlton dominating TV they get less FTA games than 8 other teams and way less than the broncos

[pussycat]

They were his comments not mine! Canberra are fully aware of the inequity but you clearly aren't.

[piesman2011]

No news on the NZ TV deal yet with the season going to start in a few months? There must be a lot of disagreement in terms of the price. Sky probably have offered 60 million for 5 years while the NRL probabaly want 100 million.
