AFL rights – all 8 games
Now that the AFL has given Channels 10 and 7 the go ahead to offer a joint bid, can the consortium ask for all 8 games?
It would make life interesting if they offered a sweetener; to show Friday night games live into Queensland and New South Wales. This has been a long-held dream of the AFL.
In turn this would make life difficult for Foxtel; what ‘added-value’ could they bring if all 8 games are on free to air.
Then there’s the ’spare’ capacity of digital (free to air) TV. Can it be used for lesser games? Mmm. More on this later.
