And if HBO ever decided to launch their streaming platform here. That would be the end of it.

Pretty much...........
It’s the only exclusive premium content they carry after Stan acquired Showtime’s programs.
Between Netflix and Stan they already have everything else that’s on Foxtel, including the latest movies.

Well maybe ... but if I could get the sport only on Foxtel Now for $15-20 per month, I'd definitely get it (or even just Cricket and Rugby for that price). At $44 per month (you need a starter pack and then sport on top of it) I can't justify it enough (or be able to convince the wife).
There is an opportunity for FoxSports to really look at debundling a bit more than they are and then being able to actually target markets more sharply rather than having a single broad product across everyone.

Not sure if this has been posted, but really good article predicting Foxtel would get the cricket (and why they needed to)

I hate that you have to select multiple packages in order to get the one you actually want. And I think it's something that has really hurt pay platforms here until the arrival of Netflix etc.
If they launch Fox Sports as a standalone I'll have it from day one. And I suspect they'll see a huge uptake as well.

It also mentions a CBS All Access app. Which is exactly part of the deal MLR has with them. Another opportunity for Rugby.

I didn't catch it all so, don't rely on this. I just heard an interview on the radio stating that Fox will launch a streaming app for the cricket at a cost of $10.99 per month.
I'd guess that they will start a cricket channel and make that available as a stand alone via the stream.

I think CA have stuffed this up in a massive way. Sending your most regular content to be hidden away on pay tv, basically only leaving the stuff on the anti-siphoning list for free to air. If only there was a case study on the folly of hiding your sport away apart from a select few events. I reckon the guys at the NBL are pretty excited about this.

There is still going to be a massive amount of cricket on FTA. I don't think people will notice that much.
I also think that we will see a lower price point Foxsports cricket subscription pretty quickly.

Think Brendon needs a spot on the worst commentator pole, just so there will be one there who doesn't rate a single vote. He is by far the best of the sporting commentators.

Even more disappointing was a crowd of just 5538, proving Victorian fans won’t come to Saturday afternoon games, especially once local AFL and rugby seasons begin.

They might if they hold it in your city for a once in a lifetime event, and call it "The Commonwealth Games"..........

Anyone know when Foxtel puts up the Super Rugby On Demand?

My thoughts on the SCG
Great facilities however not a place to watch rugby period. There was this really good feeling amongst our group as we were walking to the footy once we got there it quickly disappeared, you are just too far from the action and on a weird angle.
There was a good crowd IMO, some sections were full, definitely not huge but their best crowd this season by far. I’m happy with the win but it feels like I didn’t even watch the game due to our seats, and we did try to move but they did not let us go upstairs to the second level.

Having said all that, comms games effect has meant low ratings for everyone across the board
