Looks like it, a little bit cleaner and without weather but also a step towards the Sky News graphics.

I’m sure Fox Sports will pay much more for it, expect fierce bidding from Nine and Seven for the Supercars rights.

Over the past couple of years Nine have indicated they won’t be overpaying for sports rights. I’m thinking Nine won’t be a fierce bidder, and neither will Seven. Sports expecting huge paydays are dreaming, I think.

Nine won’t want it unless they get some sort of streaming or exclusivity attached. The timing is all wrong for super cars but not much they can do. They’ll continue to move their sport into irrelevancy without strong free to air.
God knows where fox are getting the money for this given their debt and losing many of their subscribers by the day

Werent there reports like 20 days ago that neither were interested?
They are going to have to spend money to retain subscribers - the potential of some certainty around afl and nrl rights more then likely help with knowing what they can go in with a bid on.

If Fox are forced into a situation where they’re the only bidder, could they possibly on sell some rounds to someone like SBS for example who already have some interest in motor racing?

it’s really sport the only thing that keeps me shelling out month after month. As a massive sports fan who supports out of market teams (Storm in the NRL and Carlton in the AFL) the only way to get decent coverage is fox as well as there monopoly on F1 coverage and ODI cricket

No news during the day at all between 10 & 5. All repeated show kind of defeats the purpose of a news channel.

Writing was on the wall when they made a ton of job cuts
I can handle NRL/AFL360 as the occasional filler but replacing the whole daytime schedule with repeated shows some outdated is too much and defeats the purpose of fsn
Unless it’s a mistake, the Foxtel Guide seems to suggest that’s only happening for a few days
