Could 10 get the World Cup�

Well 10 and Paramount+ have secured the rights to 2027 Womenâs World Cup. I think the 2030 Menâs World Cup is still up for grabs. Surely 10 and Paramount+ would want to go for it.
Probably but not for the amount the APL wants to sell it for.

A last-minute goal to Australia for the win around 11pm AEST should be good at keeping viewers up late.

Main channel broadcast finished in Perth at 9.16pm local time, with Tara Rushton telling viewers to switch to P+ for the post-match show (which stays on 10 in other regions).
The debut of Airport 24/7 followed the football on main channel in Perth.

Wonder why 10 couldnât have used Bold then
Once 10 decided to show Australia v Japan on main channel in all states, 10 Bold continued with its umpteenth repeat of NCIS.
Another bright spark from 10 there⌠truly. They could live without that repeat.
