This is the problem when brands are rolled out globally. If only CBS had an on demand brand of somesort which could easily be adapted to each local market by prefixing it with a local channel.

Are the Y-League and E-League included in this deal as well? As in the Youth and gaming leagues or are they seperate with the FFA?

Yes, the Y-League would be streamed on Paramount+ if it comes back. Same would be for a potential women’s Y-League in the future.

The E-League I’m not sure about. I believe it is FA run, and broadcast on Twitch.tv.

The Asian Football Confederation announced overnight it has signed a deal with CBS Sports, with Paramount+ to stream the AFC competitions and Asian World Cup qualifiers in the US, Canada, Bermuda and certain US territories.

Amazon was rumoured to get the rights last week before Optus got them

115

I thought that was for Socceroos rights?

For the Socceroos and Matildas non-world cup internationals. Amazon and SBS are still the favourites for that. Seven are expected, along with 10, to bid for the FTA WWC rights. It’s all a separate process.

117

On the way to Paramount+?

118

That’s almost a given now


119

Since my other post seems to have gone missing


That’s step 1 done.
Step 2 - get Simon Hill.
Step 3 - get Santo, Sam and Ed.
Optional Step 4 - sponsor the Newcastle Jets. :wink:
Real Step 4 - do not employ Bosnich, Harper or that other twit people whinge about.

Step 5. Get someone like Adam Peacock as well. They need as many high profile (and good) talents they can get.

121

No way known NBN will allow that :wink:

NBN hasn’t sponsored the Jets in years. WIN has, probably out of obligation to Ten.
