Great get-out-of-jail-free card for Delaney.

Obviously this ‘rumour’ isn’t strictly 100% true, as the US Fox Kids logo is being used, but I was alerted to this on Facebook. DAZN apparently appears to be planning to follow the lead of BSkyB and Sky NZ by bringing back a Fox Kids channel.

Very happy to see the return of BBC News. The news channels are what I watch the most and really missed BBC.

Well this is also good news if they do.

I’ve seen that post. It’s more of a fantasy mock-up than any sort of serious questioning, let alone announcement.

Take it with a kilogram of salt.

Yep. That user is known for this type of fake / fantasy content.

Yeah nah…

I wasn’t entirely sure myself at first. After all, where would DAZN source content from aside from going to distributors like WBD, Disney, Paramount, and the BBC — all of which had already been pulled from the platform previously?

Foxtel has bought two new documentaries from distributor Sphere Abacus: 6-part drama documentary 1776: American Independence, and Gladiators: Warriors of the Ancient World. The acquisitions were announced at Sunny Side of the Doc in France this week.

Price going up by $5/month from September 1.

TV rental store also closed on June 30 (probably the only place where you could rent TV shows??)

I notice that Foxtel’s online guide for sports channels has not been properly updated for the past week or so. On a big sports day like today when there are live cricket, multiple rugby league and AFL matches in both men and women, it is very frustrating.

This link is your best companion, minus Fox Cricket of course. For ESPNs just head to NZ’s Sky Go.

Should Dazn Pull the Pin of Foxtel soon after being in Australia for 31 years 1 person messaged TV Lounge on TV Tonight saying that Foxtel doesn’t have much decent Content anymore not like the 90’s-early 2000’s Content?

I don’t think DAZN spent $3b to buy Foxtel to just shut it down
