Forgot to add golf (Australian Open, Australian PGA not sure if we still do an Australian Masters) as well as the US and UK iconic tournaments. Have recently been on Nine though. A shadow of their old selves however.

Nine currently only has the rights to The Masters.
I said previously that Nine would be looking for more sporting rights after it paid $305 million to show the Olympics from this year to Brisbane 2032, if it can afford to pay. But thatâs changed after a weakening advertising market.

WNBL GETS READY TO GO
The Cygnett WNBL will be watchable by more sports fans than ever before after the League extended its partnership with ESPN, and expanded its broadcast arrangement with Channel 9 to include a new free-to-air deal, with marquee games to be available on 9Go, in High Definition (HD).
ESPN is widely regarded as the home of the basketball, and the WNBL is pleased to continue to deliver âWNBL Wednesdayâs on ESPNâ and all Finals games. ESPN will also continue to provide strong coverage for fans through social and digital.
ESPNâs WNBL programming will also be available via Foxtel, Kayo Sports, and Sky Sports NZ.
The marquee 12:30pm Sunday afternoon game will be shown on 9Go and marks the first time the WNBL has been on a free-to-air main channel in five years. All remaining games will be available on Nineâs free digital channel, 9Now.
Last season the WNBLâs broadcast audience was the highest it has ever been, with a collective reach of over 2.6 million, up 23% from the previous season. With the additional visibility and exposure through 9Go for the upcoming season, it is expected this will increase again.
Head of WNBL, Christy Collier-Hill, is excited by the new deal.
âThis is really exciting for the WNBL. It provides us with an enormous opportunity to really lift the profile of the league, the Clubs, and the incredible athletes that are part of it with two marquee games a week.
âThe WNBL has some of the best basketball players in the world â Australian Opals and Gangurrus, WNBA and international superstars. We want as many people as possible to be able to see these amazing athletes in action on and off the court, and this new broadcast deal provides us with that opportunity.â
Senior Vice President and Managing Director, The Walt Disney Company Australia and New Zealand and Head of ESPN for Asia Pacific, Kylie Watson-Wheeler said:
âESPN is excited as Australiaâs âHome For Hoopsâ to be continuing our long association with the WNBL and serving our audiences with womenâs basketball in prime-time throughout the WNBL regular season and finals.â
Nine Director of 9Now and Programming, Hamish Turner, said: âWeâre excited to bring the WNBL season to all Australians for free on 9Go! and to stream on 9now.
âOff the back of a thrilling bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Paris, Australiaâs best basketballers will return to free to air joining Womenâs rugby league where every NRLW game and the record breaking Womenâs State of Origin series lives.â
Broadcast production partner, JAM TV, will continue to work behind the scenes to deliver the games to ESPN and Nine, with a number of key areas uplifted to improve the fan viewing experience.
âJAM TV is excited about renewing our production partnership with WNBL and bringing womenâs basketball to Nine on Sundays to complement Wednesday prime-time coverage on ESPN. The WNBL and its stars have a great story to tell, and weâre looking forward to bringing those stories to life this seasonâ.
The WNBL fixture and key dates are set for release this coming Monday, 2 September 2024, at 10am.

Bit of a FTA basketball triple header going on there (albeit over 3 channels) with the WNBL at 12:30pm on 9Go!, then a 2:30pm NBL game on Channel 10 and then the 4:30pm NBL game on 10Bold.
Also good that the NBL and WNBL arenât stepping on each other, which has been a problem in the past under Basketball Australiaâs operation of the WNBL (even if the WNBL isnât being transfered to NBL led ownership until next season).

Nine shouldâve got the NBL rights with them having a marquee sport to show outside the tennis. Games on Stan Sport with big matches on 9Gem
I wish 10 had got the rights to WNBL as well.

Maybe next season when Larry takes over the WNBL, I would think NBL and WNBL would be combined.

Pretty impressed to see the WNBL getting FTA coverage. Even if it is just one game a week.
9GO has had a fair bit of sports lately - the US (tennis) Open, to the NRL-Womenâs, to some Olypmpics, and now the WNBL
While 9Gem has Rugby (inc Shute Shield), NRL, and the Olympics and Paralympics.
Good for Nine for still airing sport on FTA.

Surprised Nine picked this up again after spending big on the Olympics, wouldâve thought it would have been ripe for maybe 10 to get to compliment their NBL fta coverage and interest in womenâs sport.
On Nine hopefully. I canât imagine Ten will around for too much longer.

Given the ABC had the FTA rights for a couple years (Around early 2020s - one Sunday match a week), I guess it isnât too expensive - the fact that they donât have to do the broadcast themselves (just take the feed from the WNBL) probably appeals to broadcasters (i.e. donât have to pay additional costs for OB trucks, commentators, etc).

TV deals and everyday operations, probably. Clubland probably not, maybe some alignment in cities with teams in both and some expansion in cities with only one of the 2 (although the NBL isnât expanding to Bendigo).
Only Sydney Flames and Kings are currently under the same ownership.

NRLW ROUND 9
The fight for the sole remaining spot in the NRLW finals makes for an intriguing last round of the regular season. With the Roosters, Broncos and Sharks locked in for the semi finals, the NRLW premiers of the Knights hopes of making it three premiership wins in a row will rest on beating to Cowboys in a very hot Townsville on Saturday.
