NRL to reap $1.2b from TV rights

[Xman]

Read it for yourself derp.

Come on, you can work it out, it's not that hard. Have a look at the wording ffs

hmmm "more than" and "double previous"...very ambiguous indeed. Fact is you got less than the AFL full stop

[Xman]

For the dopey one called xturd.

Someone explain it to him please, I have not got the patience or will to do it.

Under the five-year deal Telstra has agreed to double the $90 million it is believed to have paid the ARLC in 2007. In return it gains the exclusive broadcast rights to stream live rugby league matches to mobile phones and tablets regardless of their carrier.
This means that customer on Optus and Vodafone mobile networks will be able to access NRL matches on smartphones and tablets but will likely have to pay a subscription fee to Telstra.
Telstra would not disclose the commercial value of the contract but ARLC chairman John Grant said the deal was worth “double” in cash and contra to their previous deal.

It is suggesting that the NRL will go from getting 15 million a year to 30 million a year from its Testra contract. So that is 150 million for the 5 years. While the other article said that the NRL got 100 million for the same contract. Something is fishy.

Agree, its all in the wording

NRL, players closer in pay talks as league announces $100m naming and digital rights deal

http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-pl ... 6535454743

Either way the AFL got more than 200M for their 5 year naming and media rights together

Anyone know why Telstra and the nRL aren't disclosing the value of the contract? They had no problem disclosing the deal they struck with the AFL.

Why the need for secrecy? Is it because of the Player CA negotiations?

That, or the nRL are ashamed of their value in comparison to what the AFL is getting.

How is 100M double 90M?

You said they had 200M EXTRA coming. In reality they have another 25M from media, plus NZ.

to

TELSTRA and the Australian Rugby League Commission will set up their own media unit to report on the NRL after the two entities signed a sponsorship and digital rights partnership worth more than $100 million.

“We have agreed with Telstra not to disclose the full value of that contract however we do acknowledge that it is double what we got in the last contract rights period. So it’s a very significant lift to the bottom line and it’s a very significant opportunity to build for the future through a digital platform,”

Oh yeah, of course theyre going to say "over 100m" when in fact it is closer to 150m!

More like its 101m, and for media plus naming rights. What a massive increase from 75m over 5 years!

But I love this part: double the $90 million it is believed to have paid

They're not even convinced of the original deal!

Fudge fudge...

[pussycat]

when one considers the accuracy singletballers have displayed with every single component of the NRL's rights deal
I mean .... they haven't been close on any of it

they still are making predictions .....

I'd give up if I were them ..as they clearly know sweet FA about it

I think you will find Wookie you have not looked hard enough, rumors are that the NZ Sky deal could be worth up to 170m now with the Arrival of very popular All Black Sunny Bill williams.

National Rugby League clubs should be able to become operationally profitable on the back of the bumper new broadcast rights deal for Australia’s top rugby league competition, according to the body that represents the clubs.

NRL Club Council spokesman David Trodden told the Australian newspaper that the new five-year deals brokered by the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) will transform the financial fortunes of its 16 member clubs. Fox Sports and Nine retained the domestic rights to the league in deals totalling A$205 million (US$215 million) per year from 2013-17 – more than double the existing deals totalling A$100 million per year.

“There was always a view in club land about the TV deal delivering long-term financial viability for the clubs and the game,” NRL Club Council spokesman David Trodden told the Australian newspaper. “I think that this deal will do that. Fifteen out of 16 clubs have been operating at a loss and I think that this provides an opportunity for 16 of the 16 clubs to be on a solid financial footing and not make losses any more. It’s a pivotal moment in the history of the game.”

The broadcast and new media rights in New Zealand and the new media rights in Australia are yet to be sold by the ARLC, and could generate a further A$175 million over five years, according to various reports. The current total of A$1.025 billion over five years falls short of the five-year broadcast deal struck by the NRL’s arch-rival, the Australian Football League. However, Nine chief executive David Gyngell said the NRL was worth more “pound for pound” than the A$1.25 billion deal for the country’s top Australian rules competition from 2012-15.

Gyngell, whose network made a losing bid for the AFL rights, told Reuters: “As a television executive, they (the NRL) have struck a better deal in total than the AFL. (NRL) is the best sporting code on TV. It has the best ratings. We’re in good shape to give the AFL a run for their money.”

That's 175m for media rights in Australia and NZ, plus TV rights in NZ.

It never says the sky deal would be 170m

oouch, that really must hurt
