Foxtel

This is what I am thinking too. Unless the shows can be streamed live and watched individually.

Exact same thing with me. I had trouble finding the live channels and I thought their placement was really odd.

They currently feature some shows as separate live events (particularly for ESPN shows) so I would guess that’s the path they would go down if what JKD outlined does happen

Yes they would Ando9185.

They would be on demand I think.

Foxtel has acquired the rights to Channel 4 show Escape to the Chateau DIY.

According to News Corp’s second quarter results, Foxtel subscribers rose to 2.9 million viewers, higher than last year. 2.5 million were broadcast and commercial subscribers, and the remainder consisted of Foxtel Now and Kayo Sports subscribers. Average revenue per subscriber fell by 3% to $78 per customer. Churn – the number of users giving up their subscriptions – rose from 14.5% to 15.6%.

i’m suprised theres no channel on fox showing classic aussie shows. seems most of them are put in a vault and never seen again.

shows like:

A Country Practice

Blue Heelers

E Street

Mother and Son

Sons and Daughters

The Sullivans

Heartbreak High

Early Eps of Neighbours

Seven has a few of them and more on 7plus:
Blue Heelers
Heartbreak High

$$$$ and network reluctance to pass on the rights.

Foxtel Now appears to have added CNN in recent days. I noticed it on my subscription for the first time today.

I’m what many on this forum would refer to as a “right wing nut job” who enjoys Sky News After Dark and Fox News, but I’m glad CNN has been added as it provides customers with more choices…and I like to keep in touch with the talking points of the other side.

Fox Classics would be amazing (and my mother would have an incentive to regularly use the box, making it much easier for her during the football season)

It was available for a while in early 2017 until Foxtel culled a fair amount of channels from what was then ‘Foxtel Play’ before it relaunched as ‘Foxtel Now’.

Good to see a few more channels - would love a few more news channels.

Yeah, would like CNBC back.

In other news, Foxtel will be renumbering their movie channels tomorrow.

They have gone back to the old numbering sysyem whch imo is sad coz i think the way it was ,was much better ie disney movies then disn ey movies+2 not the way it is now

Foxtel graphic

I agree. They should have started doing this in other categories too.

Foxtel should have a promotion where if you have the sports and hd packages you get the movie package for $10 a month till the end of the AFL & NRL Seasons.
