Interesting to think about the scope of Kayo. 370,000 X 12 months X $25 a month equals a bit over $100m a year. Imagine what the rights for all sports Kayo shows is costing them Every sport in the country is taking a haircut based on those numbers

NewsCorp's quarterly results out today. 370,000 kayo paying subscribers as of 5 Feb. Subscription video services revenue is down 11% year on year. (Currency + Foxtel numbers down) Major shareholder Telstra loaned $175m presumably because they can't find anyone else interested

Probably the same reason everyone else pay too much for rugby given its relative popularity, rugby supporters have money and advertiser's want to pay the broadcaster over the odds to target them (Does Optus sports have ads?)

How many 10s have started for Thorn in these three season?

Why aren't they going broke though?

OPtus allowed SBS to broadcast some of the EPL for the initial phase of their rights period. That seems to have disappeared this year with the second round of rights

Especially if we end up having to pay our players and coaches less and as a result we are less competitive against our international competition

What's the impact that kolpak changes will have in Europe?

The current CBA runs out at the end of the year, SO everyone will have to renegotiate but the players get a fixed percentage of income. If income drops substantially, the players will be paid less. RA currently makes pretty much half their revenue from broadcasting deals RA have $20m+ in the...

Surely club rugby chiefs won't give up FTA coverage? Seems massively short sighted.

It's the same old story for Aus rugby. Get a jump on the rest because we get a head start with professionalism, then when the rest of the world gets their act together we lose out because too many of our best potential athletes play other sports

Tongan Thor is wresting snakes in Montecasino on Instagram. Long way from Dubai.....

You are paying for A-League, NRL, AFL, netball and NBL on Telstra

Yep, it's a default. You get access as an Optus customer - if you are a customer you pay for it with your monthly bill whether you watch it in the midddle of the night or not. Optus think it's worth spending (at least) $63m a year for the rights to drive more people to sign up for the optus...

World Sevens Series in Sydney did around 35k on TV. Long day so not too bad of an average. 34,000 crowd over the two days

Optus sport, who show the EPL and Champions league have something like twice the number of subscribers as Kayo does. It's not apples for apples because of how access is paid for, but really shows the market there.

plenty of Australians are paying plenty of $$$ for pro football (soccer). It's just not spent on the A-league.

Crusaders v Waratahs 66,000 Sunwolves v Rebels 39,000 No 7s numbers yet Lakers v Trailblazers 49,000 3 A-League games combined were 47,000. It's disappearing.
