Interesting to see that the NBL Blitz is on Kayo, but seems not to be on any of the Foxtel linear channels.
Disappointing.

2024 NRL Telstra Premiership Season into the record books as most watched across Foxtel Group
With the NRL Telstra Finals Series kicking into gear, Foxtel Group has announced that the 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership Season has broken records as the most watched of all time across its platforms â Foxtel, Foxtel Now, Foxtel Go and Kayo Sports. It is the seventh consecutive year of viewership growth.
With exclusive games in 4K, Kayo Sports viewership surged 30% year on year as more audiences discovered the unrivalled NRL viewing experience on the platform. There were five billion minutes streamed across all Foxtel Group streaming platforms which was up 30% compared to 2023. A huge 59% of the total Foxtel Group audience streamed the coverage.
Kayo Sports Chief Executive Officer Julian Ogrin said: âThis season, we supercharged the Kayo Sports experience with the introduction of 4K for our exclusive NRL games. Combined with our ad-free during live play proposition, expert analysis and commentary and world-class Fox League coverage, this brought more fans than ever to our platforms as they discovered the incredible value we offer.â
In 2024, NRL kicked off its season in Las Vegas with the Sea Eagles v Rabbitohs game, exclusive on Fox League, followed by the Roosters v Broncos game. Both games smashed viewership records and are the two most watched games of all time across Foxtel Group platforms. The coverage, which was Logie-nominated, also drove the biggest single day of sign-ups on Kayo Sports.
The momentum continued throughout the season with Magic Round delivering the highest ever audience for a regular season round across the Foxtel Group. The nail-biting Sharks v Roosters game during the round was the third most watched game of the season.
The Broncos, Storm and Roosters were the most watched teams.
Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said: â2024 was record breaking season in many ways. From Las Vegas to Magic Round right to the final whistle of the regular season with the Knights v Dolphins game determining the last spot in the top 8, we have enjoyed bringing the very best of the sport to audiences nationwide. Congratulations to the NRL and teams on a successful year.â
Every game of the NRL Telstra Premiership Finals Series (excluding the Grand Final) will be broadcast live with no ads during live play on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
The NRL action on Foxtel and Kayo Sports continues through October and November with the NRLW and Pacific Championships.

I just had the strangest phone call from Foxtel wanting me to cancel my Binge and Kayo and sign back up to the traditional set top box that I got rid of years ago.
WTF.
Was it a scam? It doesnât sound like something they would call for.

She started the phone call by saying â Iâm here to help you. I can see you started an application online for Foxtel and never finishedâ.
No I didnât. I have Binge and Kayo, why would I do that.
So I said no thank you. She says to me may I ask why. I said I just told you why. I already have Kayo and Binge why would I unsubscribe from those to join an old soon to be extinct service?
Very odd.

No problems, scammers are one of my pet hates. Good luck with the job hunting which is stressful enough without scammers! I am sure this was a scam. I canât see Foxtel being so stupid,

Shall ESPN launch a Third Channel in itâs Place?

Why would it? What does it have to do with ESPN?

they should, that way ESPN can cover more NHL games (only Wednesday games at the moment).

Iâd suggest there is no chance of a third ESPN channel - suspect theyâre more likely to move to D+ exclusively then expand their offerings on Fox (or Fetch)
