wow they couldn’t even give a shit to make a full half hour about the two teams competing, they have to make it about themselves.
Supercars announced this morning details of the final rounds of this year’s championship. Following this weekend’s Townsville SuperSprint, the drivers will have a week off before two The Bend SuperSprint rounds on September 19-20 and September 26-27, and then a Bathurst season finale on October 15-18.
The Australian reports Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany has warned the subscription-television service will only chase “tier one” sports in the future, and predicted streaming service Kayo would help double Foxtel’s average sports audience by next year. Delany said he was “fearless” of losing sports that were asking too much for broadcast rights. He made the comments during the Asian media APOS Virtual Series yesterday afternoon.

If his warning is true, expect the number of Fox Sports channels to be reduced because they won’t have as many sports to cover like in the past.
and loose subscribers as well
