Probably best not to investigate who owns Oztam.
Reach is definitely something Oztam's owners are happy they have started using

The ABC is owned by the government but it doesn't mean it's state media.
OzTAM doesn't use reach for anything - they report on it, just like they report on a lot of things....

Amazon announced today they will be putting advertisements on their streaming service starting July this year. You can pay an additional $3 per month to go totally ad-free.
They've really been pushing the price increases now - although I think they still come lower than most others. It was only last year that I paid $59 for the annual subscription. Went up to $79 this year and now with the ad-free (which I will pay for) it will take it to around $115 per year if you pay up front.

Does 9 have the Reds game on in QLD? It’s on Gem in Sydney with Jeopardy Australia on 9 which feels depressing.

I think it may have been in Sydney.

Nah it wasn’t from what I had on. On Gem with Jeopardy on 9.

Yet another week on Offsiders on ABC without a mention of Rugby, it amazes me how they just ignore the entire sport, even for a 30 second grab.

Offsiders is an unofficial AFL sports show, with some cricket, a little league and some netball.

Sadly I don’t think it’s ignoring. It just doesn’t rate a mention anywhere.
Was at a full day of School Boy Rugby yesterday in Sydney and wondered if I’d hear any chat or see people with the Tahs game on their phones since it started during 2nd XV games and through the 1st XVs.
Absolutely nothing. Plenty of people with NRL and AFL though.

I wouldn’t be watching the Tahs either to be fair

I made my Saturday choice as well and it didn’t involve them.

This week was about jerseys, and no rugby jerseys were mentioned, maybe our indigenous round is not worthy?
I realise how far down rugby has fallen, but surely someone who is a rookie scoring 2 x hatricks in their first season could get 5 seconds of air time.
If they hate the game then surely they could dedicate 5 seconds to laying the boot into the Tahs for their shot at a wooden spoon?
I wish Catherine Murphy was on, at least she will mention european games

Did they talk about soccer - I just saw something on Facebook and was surprised to hear they had their grand final today and Melbourne Victory were playing. I hope that’s not the experience non-rugby fans get with our sport.

The 10th most watched game last night with ~ 750k top line viewers.

Oztam is directly owned by Seven, Nine and Ten. Reach is being driven almost entirely by Seven.

Interesting article on sports broadcasting and the increasing cost of watching, from the US. For those interested in such things its a decent read.
