Chief keef bout to kill rapper 6ix9ine and has literally been hunting him down Over the US from NYC to LA and other players
Pusha T basically destroyed Drake’s career in the disstrack ‘the story of adidon’ which shows Drake in blackface and alleges Drake has a child with a French pornstar
I can’t be bothered trying to decipher the anagrams in those paragraphs.
The problem with that idea is as things stand, Nine has nothing they can offer SBS in return. As an example, SBS had discussions with Fox to sublicence some of the 2010 World Cup but a deal never happened because Fox weren’t able/willing give up something in return
By contrast, a major reason behind SBS entering into the Optus deal (aside from the cost considerations) was they got a weekly Premier League game in return for giving up some of the FIFA rights
Optus also paid $8m in rights fees according the AFR.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! 
Comedy and Sports fans rejoice for Santo, Sam & Ed’s Cup Fever!
Let’s open with the bad news – the Socceroos 2018 World Cup campaign is off to a shaky start.
The good news – we’re already winners with the kick-off of Santo, Sam & Ed’s Cup Fever!Recording before a live studio audience, Santo, Sam & Ed’s Cup Fever! brings the boys together to deliver their unique brand of hard-hitting analysis for the entire FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Unless something else happens, it means Optus will only have six more exclusive games (4 Round of 16 games & 2 Quarterfinals) for the rest of the tournament. Additionally:
Doing the maths, SBS has picked up 21 extra games which will take their overall total to 46 games - the schedule above indicates it’s 24 games but it doesn’t take into account the fact that next week, SBS would have selected a game each day (aside from the Socceroos on Tuesday) to air depending on the group standings heading into the final round of matches.
The move also means Optus will have aired only 7 group stage matches exclusively compared to the scheduled 33
Might as well chuck the conflicts onto Food Network or NITV.
Optus Exclusives:
Egypt v Uruguay (day 2)
Morocco v Iran (day 2)
Peru v Denmark (day 3)
Argentina v Iceland (day 3)
Croatia v Nigeria (day 3)
Costa Rica v Serbia (day 4)
Brazil v Switzerland (day 4)
There’s 48 Group stage matches, so 41 on SBS.
Optus have half of the round of 16 and quarters exclusively.
Means Optus have 13 exclusively, SBS are covering the remaining 51.
SBS Viceland HD would probably be a better choice…
$8 million + 2 or so years of one EPL game a week for 13 games of football has worked out extremely well for SBS.
Would SBS be making extra revenue off this windfall of extra games? I don’t really know how they work out deals with advertisers, but I’d assume they fix how much advertisers pay before the tournament starts?
SBS has confirmed on air (during their WC highlights program) that Viceland will be used for the ‘overflow’ games
It’s certainly going to boost their prime time ratings shares over the next week or so…
Will games being played on 26-29 June be replayed during the morning?
