Interesting on Stan rugby show interview with Andrew kellway Ria Kelly ended it with seeing him in super rugby au next year (no mention of TT). I would suggest with recent Fiji funding the signals are super rugby au definitely happening next year and something with nz TBD
both stream, vastly different business models at their core business though, it's not unrealistic to see some kind of mutual benefit between those two.
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.
^^^^
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.
Or more that Stan sees super rugby Au next year as a certainty and what may follow it less so...I would suggest its easier to just say super rugby au .. as a known state and there was no indication which way or the other.
I know it was NZ tv, but I thought Toutai Kefu was quite brave talking about nepotism, corruption etc on Breakdown last night. Kirwan asked him about the problems of WR (World Rugby) development grants seemingly not making it to players. I thought perhaps he may straight bat it away, but he didn't.
Interesting - think I'll go find that on YouTube. The last ep of The Breakdown listed in Stan is 28 June?
The first Wallabies Test match under the new TV rights deal with Nine and Stan Sport brought in 323,000 viewers to 9Gem powering the station to a 5.3% share, making it the top multichannel for the night.
