The No.1 Football Code in Australia

[TLPG]

4 matches LIVE on Seven, Pussycat. The other five will also be shown - just not live. That's part of the FTA deal. It's also why Seven won't be onselling to Ten.

Just a quick note - Ten's ratings were falling because their commentary was not up to speed. Robert Walls in particular has come in for some stick - as noted in the media.

C7 have already offered C10 2 games and they didn't want any part of it. There saving there money for the NRL.

Oh - I see, it was poor comentaters, not the piss week boring game.

That speaks of LIVE games! I was talking about the replays, which that article does NOT talk about!

Sarcasm noted. And misplaced, because obviously you never heard even an AFL player give Walls some stick. He was not popular. Pure and simple.

Some of the commenters on C9 and Foxtel are piss poor. That does'nt stop our ratings going up each week. Your excuse is lame.

And if you can find any articles that say C7 will show 5 matches on delay please notify me ~ I

[TLPG]

I said replay, not delay. And that's your opinion on the Channel Nine and Foxtel commentators. The majority clearly didn't like Ten's.

[Onions]

I didn't. Robert Walls was a biased crap artist. David Rhys-Jones is better than him and he's on the ABC!!

[Beaussie]

I'm of the belief that the negative commentary of Swans games by Robert Walls puts off viwers in Sydney. Glad to see he wont have a commentary role on tv next season. Good riddance Walls.

thats not the reason peanut
Ten don't want any AFL .... its not worth their time
Seven wanted to on sell some games to Ten , as per the present deal

Ten said .. how much for that cr@p ?
phhhttttt ..... nuh

well done Ten

now come sit ova here

[TLPG]

You're talking out of your rear end again, Raider. Seven has always wanted all of it. They only shared with Ten in the last deal because they didn't have the funding themselves. Now with digital, Seven can show all of the games (four live, and the other five whenever they want) and it won't cost them as much. Ten were already winding down OneHD as a sports channel because they knew their commentary team was the reason they weren't getting ratings - in the case of their AFL coverage. None of them will be employed by either Seven or Fox Sports.

LOL

oh what utter snot
7 have been left holding the bag
( a bag of pooh it is too)

Ten are laughing their Tits off

they're only interested in sports with some potential & growth
ie .. the NRL

Fox will be crying in their porridge by about 2014 when they realise their mistake
7 have already

gee ... good luck selling your rubbish sport to broadcasters next time round

delayed or replayed,either will be just fine

It must be an interesting game if the commentaters can make the viewers drop of

A lot of people whinge and whine about C9 commentaters. Does'nt stop our ratings going up each week.

If he's still on C10 he might get to call some league games

NRL 'deserves' huge cash from TV deal

Richard Clune and Jessica Hallora


THE NRL is set to score close to a billion dollars when it renegotiates the sale of its broadcast rights thanks to Lachlan Murdoch's love of the game and Nine boss David Gyngell's determination to retain rugby league at any cost.

And firing a pointed salvo at Network Ten - where Mr Murdoch remains interim CEO - and commercial rival Channel Seven, Mr Gyngell told The Sunday Telegraph that Nine would "not be losing the rights" in the pending broadcast negotiations for the 2013-2017 seasons.

"Nine is happy to pay more for rugby league because it's the greatest game of all," Mr Gyngell said. "And not only is it the greatest game of all, but it deserves the extra money."

As the current rights holder, Nine sits in the box seat with first and last refusal. Nine screens three weekly matches, State Of Origin and international games, while Foxtel airs five season games per week.

Ten's expected bid for at least one weekly NRL game is attached to Mr Murdoch's staunch support of the sport, his association with NRL boss David Gallop and his network's decision last week to opt out of AFL broadcasting from the end of this season. A Ten source said: "No one knows where we stand at the moment and what will happen.

"The [independent rugby league] commission is still not finalised and it's a real guessing game. It seems unlikely that we'll entertain an NRL bidding war - but it's TV ... you never say never."

Meanwhile, Kerry Stokes' Channel Seven will make a play for the lucrative sport despite failing to on-sell AFL to Ten, meaning it now has to find timeslots for four AFL games a weekend, filling its schedule.

Seven spokesman Simon Francis said: "We've been clear on this for some time. David Leckie loves league.

"Seven first broadcast league in 1964 with Rex Mossop and we had a 20-year partnership with this great game. We would love to be back and we'll be involved in the negotiations for the television rights for NRL."

Under the new AFL deal, Seven gains extra ad revenue via Foxtel's simulcast AFL broadcasts - to include 75 per cent of "Seven" commercials.

NRL boss David Gallop has already held informal meetings with "all parties" and said he felt "heartened" by Mr Gyngell's words.

"I have spoken to all the commercial networks again this week and they are aware that once the flag drops, the race will be on to acquire our rights," Gallop said.

"That's very encouraging, particularly coming from the boss of Channel Nine.

"We expect major increases across all our platforms.

"Anyone who is not prepared to stump up may find themselves with less rugby league content.

"And the way the game is producing ratings at the moment, you would be mad not to be part of it.

"We are not putting a figure on it - but we are certainly aware the market is buoyant and that our sport is highly sought-after."

I guess we will see if they had the funding or not when League goes up for tender.

That's strange you say that C7 don't have the funds, because they have also made it quiet clear they will bid for the league.

All TV will be Digital from 2012 onward.


C10 have recently introduced 2 Rugby League programs on One.
