Seven to try for knockout bid for NRL and AFL rights

Speculation is mounting that Seven West Media will attempt a knockout bid to land AFL and NRL broadcast rights, using its strengthened balance sheet from its large capital raising to target the country's two biggest winter sports.
Seven West, which owns the Seven free-to-air TV network, is in the midst of a $612 million capital raising that sports sources expect frees up Seven to lodge huge bids for AFL and rugby league rights.
It comes as expectations are growing that the NRL will attempt to beat the AFL to the punch and sign a rights deal it hopes will be worth up to $2 billion over five years before the AFL finalises its negotiations for a new contract, which it has told TV networks should be worth about $1.75 billion over five years.
The NRL told TV executives at the end of the week before last that it was in the market for a new deal to begin after its current contract with Nine Entertainment Co, Fox Sports Australia and Telstra, worth about $1.2 billion over five years, expires at the end of 2017.
The move came as a surprise, given the AFL has started negotiations for rights that would start after its five-year, $1.25 billion contract with Seven, Foxtel and Telstra ends after the 2016 grand final.
It is understood the NRL will fast-track negotiations and attempt to seal a deal before the AFL, in the belief that whichever sport signs a contract first will garner more money from a combination of free-to-air and pay-television networks.
Nine executives are adamant the network will not lose its rugby league rights and is in a strong fiscal position after adding $640 million to its balance sheet after the recent sale of its Nine Live business.
Go hard
But it is expected Seven will go hard after the rights to the State of Origin series, usually among the highest-rating shows across television each year and which NRL chief executive Dave Smith is exploring the possibility of selling separately to NRL and Test matches.
"We would expect to see strong bidding tension for the State of Origin series, with both Seven and [Network] Ten potentially interested," Commonwealth Bank analyst Alice Bennett said in a note to clients last week.
Seven is favourite to retain AFL rights, and is paying about $425 million in cash and $50 million in contra over five years of the deal. Telstra is paying $100 million in cash over the five years for the mobile-phone and internet TV rights, while Foxtel is paying an estimated $593 million in cash and $85 million in contra. Seven also owns rights to the Olympic Games, beginning with the Rio de Janeiro Games next year.
Rival Ten is hoping to gain a foothold in either of the new NRL and AFL rights deals. Its position would be strengthened considerably should a mooted deal for Foxtel – which has rights to both sports – to become a 14.9 per cent shareholder in the struggling free-to-air network eventuate.
Sports sources have said they would expect Foxtel to push hard for Ten to be involved in rights for one or both of the two sports, which could result in Ten winning the rights to one or two matches a week and Seven or Nine broadcasting others in conjunction with Foxtel.

Re: New NRL TV rights deal about to kick off!
Seven in a jam as NRL, AFL TV rights deals loom
The Australian

The National Rugby League is inclined to move at least one game from Fox Sports to be broadcast live on free-to-air television.
While maintaining it has a blank-sheet approach, the NRL has identified some clear objectives ahead of its meetings with broadcasters over the coming weeks: it wants more live games and better free-to-air coverage.
This could work nicely for Nine, which is trying to take an NRL game from Fox for Saturday nights, because it currently doesn’t have any free-to-air games on Saturdays.
Given the NRL wants more live games, it’s also possible that one of the two Friday night games could move to Thursday.
With the first round of briefings with broadcasters starting this week, the NRL last Tuesday announced a formal adviser to handle its rights process, Credit Suisse chief executive John Knox, who was also adviser to Cricket Australia in its rights bid. Knox has previously worked with veteran Graeme Samuel, who ran the process for the NRL as an independent adviser.
But Credit Suisse has recently lost managing director Emma Jane Newton, who was appointed head of corporate development at Telstra in July. “EJ”, as she’s known in the industry, was heavily involved in Nine’s refinancing. Interestingly, she is the daughter of The Australian’s founding editor Max Newton.
Seven’s longstanding lawyers Clayton Utz have accepted the brief from the NRL to act in its forthcoming rights tender — and this has caused some disquiet at Pyrmont. It means that Seven’s sports legal work will come up for tender. It’ll be a lucrative contract, keenly sought-after among law firms.
As a long line of execs from Seven, Nine, Ten and Foxtel traipse through NRL headquarters over coming weeks, one who will have a long commute is Jeffrey Browne, who Diary revealed last week is running Nine’s negotiations. He’s basing himself in the south of France for Australia’s winter. Only Browne could run a rights negotiation while sunbaking and sipping malbec in Aix-en-Provence.
If the NRL signs a five-year deal, it will mean the rights are locked in for 7½ years from now. If it’s a seven-year deal, it will take the rights out of action for a decade.
Meanwhile, the fact the NRL opened their bidding process 2½ years early caught the AFL napping. The NRL seems to be determined to no longer play a poor cousin to the AFL.
By jumping ahead of the AFL, all FTA broadcasters are serious bidders on the NRL for the first time, including Seven. How could the network be prepared not to bid when it doesn’t have a guarantee on retaining the AFL rights?
The AFL now will have to decide whether it waits or runs its bidding process simultaneously.
But networks are already planning their AFL strategy. Diary understands Foxtel is keen to take a game off FTA. Ben Buckley is running its bid. If it goes ahead, the collective rights, including digital, could potentially see valuations of $4.5 billion of deals done in the next few months.

The NRL's television rights are up for review at the end of next year and it looks like one of the tv networks has already put in a significant offer that's about half a billion more than what they got last time.
Supposedly the offer has been knocked back meaning that ANY of the networks potentially has a chance to take the NRL television rights as of the 2017 season.
"$1.5 [billion] has been offered I believe and they've knocked it back. The NRL are under the belief that they'll get closer to $2 billion, it's quite unbelievable," said Matty.
