    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Issue is old measurement systems operating in a new media environment. In say recent history you could add the FTA rating to the Fox ratings and essentially that was your rating. Streaming is different, companies like Stan, Netflicks, Amazon and Paramount count numbers of subscribers... the...

    Hoggy We seem incapable of having faith in our strengths, with fear and envy peddled by the Dooms Day merchants who at their core I suspect are too scared to make decisions and take risks. However, doing nothing is by light years the greatest risks. Adams post we are not the US is typical...

    There is a well know saying from way back in history, hhhmmm no half the saying is well known and I hopefully can use this saying in full and relate it to rugby in Australia. Let me start with a interview by Wayne Jackson [arguably the best AFL and sports admin in Australian history]. Anyway...

    Suggest as I posted you listen from say 16 minutes.... then if you want go back and listen to the first 16 minutes...the way this guy talks about using IT & AR and fan connections is beyond interesting and if he can pull it off, he will force every code to follow his league... The first 16...

    HHHHHHmmmm much doubt in posting this but what the heck… In my life I have watched and studied a lot of various sports management systems and leaders in sporting codes. In Australia, my belief is two sports leaders stand out as they took their codes from being in decline when they took over...

    Its not about next season. Harking back to my post of over a decade ago until about 4 years ago I always said the move to a NDC will take 4 to 5 years. Phase 1 is to establish the framework for the system to operate and new structures to be developed, and as I have countless times said we...

    I am going to assume I have won and we are headed to a NDC. Its becoming more obvious by the day we should head in this direction. Further those in power finally agree. In addition its equally obvious five teams is not enough. My belief is we need ten teams and we only have five. This post...

    ^^^^ Except Telstra are a part owner and existing agreements were put in place before Kayo. That the Nine / Fairfax / Stan / Radio group would share with Optus their content I honestly can't see happening.

    Can't agree that you buy the rights to broadcast matches and then share them with another broadcaster who you are in competition with is unrealistic.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Thtas a very astute observation. However it points to a broader issue, in that different competition seem to all be bid for. If the rating figures continue or say increase between LND & TT then we could see bids for each from separate broadcasters.

    JK I don't see the above happening. WE have a media deal with Nine / Fairfax/ Stan / Radio network, to date they have thrown a lot into helping grow the game... The Nine group see themselves maybe getting league and maybe cricket to its newer streaming FTA model... I see the Nine group...

    ^^^^^^^ Mater seriously, extra games with an increased broadcast coverage will increase sponsorships, crowd revenue will increase, juniors normally increase to help with future players. Just look around the world, Amerasian Gridiron, Basketball, Baseball, EPL, Indian Cricket Premier League...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Thanks for making my point and agreeing with me, i.e. if we had a local domestic competition we would get heaps more money. Its kinda how it works eg content times games which I also pointed out in my post when I said rugby would get 500 million. Sorry its a 300 million dollar deal, with I...

    ^^^^^^ Its worst than the post above. The 100 million part of the deal is for only three and a half years or say 30 million per year when added to the 40 million per year for the A & W leagues thats 70 million per year and we outrate them. REports are also saying they could add some overseas...

    Hoggy I actually feel sad right now and have no way of taking out my frustrations. You are aware I have been calling for a National domestic competition, well since the late 90's. Many even on this site now agree has taken a while. But the understanding as to why and the deep within the...
