Network Ten and Paramount+ Football coverage

Thanks- my mistake! Probably would be a good idea for me to pay closer attention to the date :man_facepalming:.

Think I would be annoyed if I were Football Australia regardless of the weekend- you will always get better reach on a “main channel”, let alone being put on a multichannel with a name that suggests it doesn’t show sport at all.

With all the drama on whether the game is on the main channel or not - makes perfect sense now why it is on 10Drama :stuck_out_tongue:

So it should be.

An increasingly irrelevant network putting the only sports right it has that could be reasonably expected to rate decently onto a multichannel named after a different genre of show, just so it doesn’t have to shift a ten year old episode of Love It or List It. Don’t change Ten, this is all good.

Have we considered this move to be a signal to the ARL that they will take main channel precedent in a scheduling conflict so to speak, in the event 10 were to obtain NRL rights and retain the rights to the national mens soccer?

I don’t think there’s such a thing as sending signals 3 years out from a possible rights deal.

If anything it shows you don’t value the sport you do have.

Im sure the 80,000K that will tune into that will be thrilled!

Look, if there’s no Daily Fail article using these quotes and/or memes, I’m going to be disappointed.
They’ve had it written to them on a golden platter this time.

It really is a terrible message ten are sending the sporting community by having this on their multi.
How do they possibly expect any major sporting code to take them seriously,

It’s fine, 10 has ten days to pull their heads out of the gutter and change it.
I wonder if it has something to do with a contractual agreement with Commbank to air it on the fifth, that’s the only possible reason I can think of.

Surely the bank would be making more money from sponsoring the Socceroos then brokering time on the least-watched network on one of it’s two least-watched nights.

10 gives me a headache.
So is it 10 or 10 Drama?! I’m guessing by the wording of the article (Watch+ Strean live on 10) they published it’s 10 but socials say elsewise:

Yes I believe so

Looks like they’ve lost the 10/P+ mic socks, instead going with P+ only.

Is the away leg on P+?
