Yeah, I checked it out and saw how it was done. I must say I was surprised but at the same time its a no from me.

Well, that’s the end then of their internal Kayo data being publicly released, unfortunate for R1 of the AFL this week for interest/curiosity sake… An “official warning” too from OzTAM apparently!
I’m guessing their only official streaming data (Go/Now) looks like dog shit in comparison.
Although, one does wonder if it’s sour grapes from Nine (SMH), in regard to NRL at least, considering rivals and Foxtel’s impressive 300k+* and lift YoY on broadcast alone. *yes, that includes regional.
AFL and NRL will not be happy, as they now rely on this internal Foxtel streaming data to boost their total figures and for their own publicity and annual reports, as FTA broadcast numbers have been heading south, with record lows each year for some years now (excluding records during COVID for AFL). @TV.Cynic

Unfortunately the app is near useless for hardcore F1 fans because there is no PiP/Multi-view so you have to give up the 4K feed and only be able to watch one F1 TV stream at a time.
If the made it do it can appear on top or on the side of the channel it would be much better.

Day 3 of The Masters suspended due to rain.
Play will resume at 10:30pm AEST.
Then Day 4, to try and get through everyone, will start from 2:30am AEST with players teeing off in groups of two rather than groups of three, and with players teeing off simultaneously from the 1st and 10th tees.
Fox EPG hasn’t been updated yet but it’s likely that coverage will resume at 10:30pm AEST in line with CBS across the channels with a short break between sessions.

AUSTRALIAN FANS SET FOR MORE FIM SPEEDWAY ACTION ON FOX SPORTS
Fox Sports will remain the home of FIM Speedway action in Australia as the broadcaster continues its coverage into 2023.
Following an agreement between Fox Sports and FIM Speedway global promoter Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, all 10 rounds of the Speedway GP World Championship will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, available on Foxtel and Kayo for Aussie fans, along with the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup.
Despite the racing taking place on the other side of the world, Australian viewers closely follow the fortunes of Jason Doyle, Max Fricke and Jack Holder in Speedway GP.
The trio made history in 2022, ending Australia’s 20-year wait for a world team title with victory at the FIM Speedway of Nations in Vojens, Denmark – their first gold medal since the Roos won the 2002 FIM Speedway World Cup.
Laura Manciet, FIM Speedway championships director, looks forward to bringing another unforgettable season of action to fans Down Under.
She said: “It’s a pleasure to continue our partnership with Fox Sports, which has been a fantastic supporter of the Speedway GP series for many years.
“Australian fans are incredibly passionate about our sport, especially those who get up in the early hours of the morning, or stay up late, to follow the racing live from Europe.
“As speedway marks 100 years since the sport’s very first meeting took place in Maitland, New South Wales on December 15, 1923, it’s only right that Aussie fans can enjoy this special season live on Fox Sports, available on Foxtel and Kayo.”
FULL 2023 SPEEDWAY GP CALENDAR:
April 29: FIM Speedway GP of Croatia
May 13: Orlen FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw
June 3: FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague
June 10: FIM Speedway GP of Germany – Teterow
June 24: FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Gorzow
July 15: FIM Speedway GP of Sweden – Malilla
August 12: FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga
September 2: FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff
September 16: FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens
