According to The Sunday Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield, Bryan Fletcher will host four episodes of Sunday Night with Matty Johns, while Matty is working at the Paris Olympics with Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley for the channel’s daily coverage of the Games. Matty will be writing columns and recording a daily podcast, will still be part of the show, with live crosses from the French capital.
Interesting. Is there any other info of their coverage? I assume they’ll have it made “for” the news channel to maximise the little highlights they can carry.
They had someone else on the Warriors game on Sky as Glen Larmer was working for OBS in Paris.
Beaven Dewar - although Fox doesn’t take those calls anyway
Beaven has done NPC Rugby, A league and NSW cup in the past.
I wonder if Fox will have to hire another caller when the Western Bears enter in 2027 then PNG in 2028, given they already have 4. Or is that kind of negated since one of those will have to fly out every other week?
Matt Russell will get more games I assume and they’ll just call them from the studio anyway. Can’t see anyone being flown to WA or PNG.
Back to the old Fox League on NBN in the 80s
Interesting they got Buzz Rothfield to act as himself on the desk 
The channel will show a new documentary on this year’s Las Vegas Week, NRL Hits Vegas: Dream to Reality, tomorrow (August 19) at 7.30pm AEST, with repeats during the night.
A Fox Sports Original production, behind the scenes look with all-areas access as the NRL launches the 2024 season under the bright lights of Las Vegas.
It also features interviews with Peter V’Landys and Andrew Abdo.
An infomercial?
Fox League will show the 2024 NRL Hall of Fame ceremony live from the SCG tonight at 7.30pm AEST, in a three-hour event.
11 male players, 6 females, coaches, referees and contributors inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame. Plus the unveiling of the 14th Immortal as the highlight.
Why did they put it in the epg as part 1 then part 2?
Do Fox Sports produce any NRL Finals?
Nope.
“With the NRL, the Vegas Round matches featuring the Sea Eagles vs the Rabbitohs and the Roosters vs the Broncos are the top two rating matches for the season, so far.”
“NRL rounds 1-25 followed suit with an average audience of 483,000, +18% from last season.
Looks like a new set for Finals Footy on Fox.
