Have seen this promo of sport coming to Nine like the NRL, The Ashes, Golf, Federation Cup and the Australian Open with Steve Britten voicing, ‘The biggest sporting events, ARE ONLY ON NINE!’

Well to be technical that is next year…
Australian Open tennis is next year too
Seems like Nine has a really strange definition of “this year”…

Statement regarding Nine losing the NBL rights (see SBS Sport and ESPN threads for broadcast details)
Nine confirmed today an early termination of its agreement with the NBL.
With the code’s partnership with Fox Sports coming to an end, the NBL had a unique opportunity to place more live games on free-to-air television, which Nine supported.
Nine’s Director of Sport Tom Malone said: “SBS is committing more broadcast hours than Nine is able to and we wanted the best for NBL and the growth of basketball in Australia.
“The 2nd half of 2019 is action packed on Wide World of Sports with all of the biggest sporting moments happening on Nine. The Netball World Cup, Women’s Ashes, Men’s Ashes, the NRL Grand Final, Fed Cup Final featuring Ash Barty, the President’s Cup Golf with Tiger Woods and the Summer of Tennis with the new ATP World Team Cup and Australian Open are all exclusive to Nine.”

Where is ‘Off The Bench’ shot? at GTV or do Crocmedia shoot at Dockland
Studios?
It is shot at Crocmedia’s TV studio (in South Melbourne I believe)

Potential, note nothing is confirmed until its confirmed;
19/20 season + 20/21.
A-League on 9Gem/9Now (no Fox Sports pay TV simulcast only Kayo streaming the 9Gem feed)? As in full on Nine end to end production + A-League wrap up show on Sunday night after the twilight game.
Call it a plan B that FFA are putting together as Ten looks like have walked away from FTA A-League for 19/20 season.
The reason why this could be a reality is NBL no longer on Nine.

So no ABC deal, it seems? Are you hearing possibly 2 games on 9Gem? Presumably 9Go would be utilised for either the soccer or tennis when they clash?
Interesting, where does Nine get the people to call the A-League matches? It last broadcast the Socceroos’ Asian qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup campaign but used the Fox Sports commentary.
Nine/9Gem will broadcast the four-match Constellation Cup netball tournament between Australia and New Zealand next month.
Game 1: Sunday, October 13 (Horncastle Arena, Christchurch), 4pm NZT or 2pm AEDT
Game 2: Wednesday, October 16 (Spark Arena, Auckland), 7.30pm NZT or 5.30pm AEDT
Game 3: Sunday, October 20 (Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney), 1pm AEDT
Game 4: Sunday, October 27 (RAC Arena, Perth), 10am AWST or 1pm AEDT

9Gem/9Now and Kayo taking the 9Gem feed
Saturday night live - 7:30pm (B Game)
Sunday night twilight 6:30pm
Sunday night A-League wrap up show (probably 30 minutes) after twilight game ends.
Nine production, no live traditional pay TV on Fox Sports, they will show the game on delay with their own graphic overlay (not sure if they will also do their own commentary or take the 9Gem version).
At this stage it’s FFA that are trying to get this deal done as they will have zero FTA coverage for 19/20 season as Ten have all but walked away (reasons mentioned elsewhere).
Of course nothing is official until it’s made official.
Their was some info about W-League but nothing more about it recently.
FFA are desperate to have A-League FTA coverage.

As opposed to the ABC deal that has been reported?
2 Likes
has that deal been confirmed?
My understanding is that FFA want commercial FTA TV government FTA TV.
If the ABC deal goes thought then it would be similar to how ABC covered W-League.
If an ABC deal had been confirmed why would FFA and the A-League still be talking to Nine as you claim?

My understanding is that FFA want commercial FTA deal not ABC which is a fall back should they can’t make the commercial FTA deal.
From what I can tell FFA have no FTA deal in place right now as of 4:20pm Thursday 19 September 2019.
If the report about ABC getting 5:15pm Saturday game then that is a worst case scenario situation which is what the clubs have told FFA they do not want.
